    1. There’s an early version of this song where they’re playing drums on buckets and Flea sings the choir part at the end.

      Read the book Scar Tissue. You will really know what it feels like to have that monkey on your back.

    3. “We had finished the set when a lovely young woman wandered into our dressing room. She had bleached-blond hair and fire-engine-red lips and giant eyelashes that made her look like a reincarnated southern version of Marilyn Monroe. As I was prone to do at that time, I made my move before anyone else could even talk to her. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into the bathroom and asked her if she could keep me company while I took a shower.

      Once I got into the shower, she went into an impeccable rendition of Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday” to JFK. I got out of that shower ready to go. She immediately threw off her clothes and we made love on the floor. I had known the girl for five minutes, but I was certain of my affection for her. We spent the night together, and I found out more about her, including the fact that she went to Catholic school. (She would be the inspiration for a later song, “Catholic School Girls Rule.”)

      The next day we drove to Baton Rouge, and of course, she came with us. After we got offstage, she came up to me and said, “I have something to tell you. My father’s the chief of police and the entire state of Louisiana is looking for me because I’ve gone missing. Oh, and besides that, I’m only fourteen.”

      I wasn’t incredibly scared, because in my somewhat deluded mind, I knew that if she told the chief of police she was in love with me, he wasn’t going to have me taken out to a field and shot, but I did want to get her the hell back home right away. So we had sex one more time, and she gave me an interesting compliment that I never forgot. She said, “When you make love to me, it’s like you’re a professional.” I told her that she should give herself a little time and she’d realize that it was because she didn’t have much to compare it to. And I put her on a bus and sent her back to New Orleans.”

      Love how this post just plays the verse we’ve all heard 10 million times & cuts off when he starts to actually say something with some context/substance.
