Can we please give this one a rest for the next, oh, ten years or so?
It used to be a nice song, but it's been so overplayed that it's become a sort of Chinese water torture...

I love this entire album. It reminds me of 7th grade, sunshine, running track, and generally having a Good Time  If I were banned to a desert island, this would be with me (along with 10 other albums). |

Hey, Flea sometimes doesn't even bother with the drawers. He has no problem sharing the wealth, I guess. |

Damn Weird Al. I have never been able to listen to this or whatever the other one is without accidentally singing the words to Bedrock Anthem. Also, his is a total improvement of both songs.

It's about his heroin addiction. Overplayed, yes. Skateboard kids lyrics, not so much. I believe it's also about their first guitarist, Hillel Slovak, who died of a heroin overdose. |

there is nothing like a song that immediately takes you to a particular place and time in your life... no matter where the song fits in the musical canon...
this song always takes me back to my freshmen year of college... what a wonderful time that was...

Their best album, and then "Californication". But my favorite song of their's is "Can't Stop" off "By The Way". Oh, who am I kidding! I love the Chili Peppers! Period. Classic Chili Peppers! Hooray!  |

Heh...more than 87.5% rate this a 7 or above. The hard core RHCP haters are in such a minority here even Diebold wouldn't save them.
An 8.

I liked the band, until KC's idea of an "alternative" radio station was to
"alternate" between the Chilli Peppers and the Beasty Boys. Very very tiresome. |
