Red Hot Chili Peppers

   


    The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a world-famous alternative-funk-rock band formed in 1983 in Los

Angeles, California. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk,

as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock, heavy metal, hard rock, and psychedelic

rock.

    To me, their songs are differnt types of rock music. They are totally different from the singers I

intriduced before. They add new elements in their music such as funk. Their music video is often

funny and special. They have a lot of creation and ideas.  I want to introduce one of their  famous 

song Dani California .

    This is a song written to memorize a girl that the lead singer, Anthony knew. She was born poorly,

get pregnat when she was young, have drugs and killed herself. If this girl was born in another

condition, she will not become like this. It is a really meaningful song.



lyrics:

Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does your confidant take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana

Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
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
Shoulda 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 stealin' another breath
I love my baby to death

[Chorus]

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say good bye to you
Too true too sad sad sad...

Push the fader, gifted animator
One for the now and eleven for the later
Never made it up to Minnesota
North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota

Down in the badlands she was savin' the best for last
It only hurts when I laugh
Gone too fast...
