Lyrics:

Deep inside the soul hole
Of Mother Earth
Father Time came
With a supersonic supersonic burst
His soul monkey sperm tribes
Racing to be first
Her ruby fruit jungle
Givin' bush baby bush baby birth
The baby was a boy
But I think what stunned her
Is that this bare breasted baby
Was a baby boy boy boy boy wonder
Crackin' from his thumb bone
Came thelonious thunder
Fill the sky with hellfire
From way down down down under


I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I can


Erupting from the ground
In hollywood he glowed
His jungle turned to concrete
His funk bone bone bone bone to stone
Like a full blown volcano
I must let it be known
That through this boy's vein
Atomic lava blood flows and flows
His soul shocking sounds
They make the mountains moan
This boy's become a man
It's time to take take take
Take the throne


I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I am a jungle man
I get all the bush I can

I've loved this song for years, but I hadn't noticed a lot of details until listening to this clip (the weird echo on the vocals, like after "mother earth" at :28). Is this a remastered track? It sounds great. Anyway check "Rosetta West - Tao Teh King" if you can. They're normally a blues rock band, but pretty funky on that one.

I look for Choco-milk

Liking RHCP this much should be a funky crime.

Dude! That guitar sounds like a flaming razor blade in the sky - 1,000 feet long, and pushing the clouds out of the way! Yeah!

@T0WER0FPlGS All I have to say is that RHCP and incubus got me into real funk music. :)
