Lol. There usually is no understanding RHCP, especially their early stuff, but they're usually all metaphors. The ''mommy'' figure could be someone's girlfriend, look for her boyfriend (''daddy'') which is going stray or something. Who cares? Funk shit up.
This is so funky i can't stop dancing and smiling and singin alone in my house, and the neighbours are thinking: "poor kid, his daddy is not there to take care about him".
I used to think that this song was dirty, but 20 years down the road, I think that this was about Flea and his daughter who would ask where daddy was when he was out playing shows, or wherever else. I think in that context it is a very sweet song, one of the best and most funky they have ever done.
I torrented these first three albums and BSSM, and I can really say the chilis have a lot more of a diverse style than I ever could have guessed, this being a good example, "Grandaddy Du Plenty" is another great example.
man i love songs like this, so hard to find tho :( any1 kno where to find sum more? by the chillis or another band ? all the jazzy stuff i can find is gay poser stoff
The 'kid' in this song asks for his dad, who seems to be this drunk asshole. It has been dramatised, the way he talks... but its reality for lots of children, and thats the message.
"Amazing trumpet solo by flea" is not right, because you can clearly hear that it's not a trumpet, but a saxophone (I would guess a tenor saxophone, but I may be wrong) ;)
You know what else? I resent that fact that people call this song ' creepy ' and 'stupid' because to me, and others out there, this song is way awesome.
haha this song is crazy but it's amazing, love the funky guitar, awesome trumpet and end solo !
