Just check out RHCP’s new album “Stadium-Arcadium”. The video “Dani California” is funny as hell …its actually a spoof on all the rock bands particularly their dressing style…..red hot chilli pepper’s music is again super….60s psychedelic, glam, funk, punk, goth, metal, grunge everything is gone in the video (spoofed I mean). The songs ends in a brilliant guitar solo by John Frusciante which I think is....the most gifted guitar player among the modern rock artists. The song is still in my head……
"Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie
In Alabama she was swinging hammer
Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world does your company take me for?
Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Condemed everywhere saying baby what you gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
Chorus:
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah!
She's a lover, baby and a fighter
Should've seen her coming when it got a little brighter
With a name like Dani California
Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya
A little loaded she was stealing another breath
I love my baby to death
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
Who knew the hardest side of you
Who knew what others tried to prove
Too true to say goodbye to you
Too true, too sad sad sad
First to fade her, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it, Up to Minnessota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota
Down in the badlands she was saving the best for last
it only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah
California rest in peace
Simultaneous release
California show your teeth
She's my priestess, I'm your priest
Yeah, yeah …….
