The Meters - Africa (Rejuvenation, 1974)

[iamcalledcarlos]

ever love a song so much you want to explode? like when you are stroking a puppy and it's so fucking cute you could stamp it to death?

[iamcalledcarlos]

Africa... beautiful!

[josejornal]

Impossible not to sing "Hollywood" after the singer sings "Africa". =)

[putindattube]

I highly prefer The Meters' version over RHCP's version ANYDAY!

[dawnhewitt1]

Wicked tune, the band is amazing!!!

[gadzo0ks]

I'm pissed at RHCP for not giving credit where credit is due. I bet it was Anthony. Fucking prima donna

[ToxicAntony]

@gadzo0ks How have they not given credit...?

[FuguGoulash]

@gadzo0ks Actually, I had RHCP's "What Hits!?" back in the day, and the sleeve specifically said this song was by the Meters.

[Arestin]

Waaaay way too good a track, to even think about hearing other versions!

[rocknrollporn]

@Arestin

bands cover songs because they like them and the peppers always do a cover the way it should be done: with their own style.

[Arestin]

@rocknrollporn I like Peppers, but how the f* do u mess with such song like this? I just don't get it..

[cannibalonXthedead]

@Arestin Since when are they messing with it? i think their version was awesome

[rikigst]

thumbs up if "Red Hot Chili Peppers - Hollywood" brought you here

[TonyNebula]

Confession: My first exposure to this was RHCP.

[PARREZ]

@TonyNebula mine was accidental now im trying to learn every song if you have any tips or guitar directions please send it we need to keep this msic alive

[fangjangler]

@TonyNebula Thankfully, my first exposure was to the original...

[rocknrollporn]

@fangjangler are u proud of urself?

[fangjangler]

@rocknrollporn Of course.

[dedendendendeden]

Please tell me the lyrics of this song.

[Giomiller]

@dedendendendeden I can't find it on web. You should read "Hollywood" lyric (Red Hot Chili Peppers cover). It's quiet similar.

[dedendendendeden]

@Giomiller

Thank you !! I'll check it.

[TonyNebula]

@Giomiller it might be a ripoff.

[CRAZYGROUCHO]

@Giomiller i agree with you....it is on the album "freaky styley"
