Bueno, si lo crees, escucha bien lo que tienen que decir los Red Hot Chili Peppers… Tremenda banda, tremendo bajista (yo también soy bajista, venga, y lo admiro) y una canción, «Californication» de puta madre…. En ella desglosan toda la mierda que se oculta bajo la supuesta sociedad «progresista» y «elitista» de socialistas etcetera…

Well, if you believe it, listen carefully to what the Red Hot Chili Peppers have to say… Amazing band, amazing bassist (I’m a bassist too, by the way, and I admire him) and a kick-ass song, «Californication«…. In it, they break down all the bullshit hidden beneath the so-called «progressive» and «elitist» society of socialists, etcetera…
CALIFORNICATION
Psychic spies from China try to steal your mind’s elation
And little girls from Sweden dream of silver screen quotation
And if you want these kind of dreams it’s Californication
It’s the edge of the world and all of Western civilization
The sun may rise in the East at least it’s settled in a final location
It’s understood that Hollywood sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Celebrity skin, is this your chin, or is that war you’re waging?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me, girl, be my fairy to the world, be my very own constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard, it’s Californication
Space may be the final frontier but it’s made in a Hollywood basement
And Cobain can you hear the spheres singing songs off Station To Station?
And Alderaan’s not far away, it’s Californication
Born and raised by those who praise control of population
Well, everybody’s been there and I don’t mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl’s guitar, they’re just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world from Californication
Pay your surgeon very well to break the spell of aging
Sicker than the rest, there is no test, but this is what you’re craving?
First born unicorn
Hardcore soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication

Interesting lyrics. For a few years there was a TV show with the same name, Californication. As a word play, it’s used multiple times.

Did not know about the series… It’s an interesting name, or word-play. I am especially fond of the line that says that «space» was created in a Hollywood basement. I think so…

Many things are cooked up in Hollywood basements and less savory places. 😉

My musical tastes had moved on when this band appeared on the scene but a friend of mine was a massive fan. This song has a message to it, and it’s a pretty good one at that, so I have to give you a big thumbs up for educating my musical mind francesc.

Thank you! I was never really a big fan during the 90’s but I too had a close friend who was… This song, however, always resounded with me…

I love Red Hot Chilli Peppers – I even saw them in a live concert – and still listen to their songs today. It is said that the first verse was taken from a personal encounter Kiedis had with a woman on the street, and it also makes a subtle jab at the increasing amount of consumerism in America.
“Californication” is a song about the underbelly of American society. There’s deceit, plasticity, and desperation under the gilded face of the American Dream. The Red Hot Chili Peppers saw that California represented these extremes—both the elaborate gilded nature of it all and the darkness underneath. In essence, it’s a song about the rot that lies just underneath the surface. Thanks for sharing and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xxx

I fully agree and share your enthusiasm and love for the Chili Peppers. As a bassist I have always admired Flea. Thank you so much Aiva! I appreciate your collaboration. It’s a great song with a powerful and meaningful message. All the best!

The way he is aggressively slapping the bass with the thumb rather than plucking at it can only be admired. I love how he managed to create a very distinctive sound that became associated with and recognisable as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

He is the best, a master from which to learn a lot and I have listening to his complex bass lines, chords and harmonies, and all on the bass! Phenomenal! Take good care Aiva. All the best.

Good post but I’ve never cared for the stylings or presentation by this group. Ever.
