Fun with Lyrics: Red Hot Chili Peppers

My brother had one of the best Facebook status updates of his life earlier this month, and with both of us severely deprived of Red Hot Chili Peppers material (they’re expected to end their longest gap between albums, five years, this year), he posted this:

“gonna give it away now under the bridge downtown or on higher ground while breaking the girl, but by the way, I can’t stop so knock me down.”

I was inspired by my brother to put something together to back him up on the Red Hot Chili Peppers tip, so this is what I came up with:

“Meet you at Stadium Arcadium in One Hot Minute, The Red Hot Chili Peppers are showing Californication as part of The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, which probably includes Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Mother's Milk .  That’s Freaky Styley, By the Way.

Ok, so maybe that was a little confusing.  But I’ll end this post with “Dani California”, off of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 2006 album Stadium Arcadium.   The music video is like a history of rock and roll slide show.  The following eras are represented: Rockabilly (0:00-0:25), British Invasion (0:25-0:35), psychedelic (0:35-0:56), funk (0:56-1:20), glam (1:21-1:48), punk (1:49-2:02), Goth (2:02-2:14), hair metal (2:14-2:46), grunge (2:46-3:00), and finally the Red Hot Chili Peppers themselves.
