Band Name Origins:
- Contrary to popular belief, the band was NOT named after Chilli Willy And The Red Hot Peppers; as they didn't even know that such a band existed until after they had been called Red Hot Chili Peppers for quite a while. Chilli Willy did attempt to sue RHCP for stealing their name. This is discussed in Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, "Scar Tissue". Submitted by: d
- The band was formerly known as Tony Flow And The Miraculously Majestic Masters Of Mayhem. But the name was too long to be well known, so they decided to change it. When they had to perform but didn't know a new name yet they saw a flyer of a band called Chili Willy And The Red Hot Peppers. They changed it and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were born.

Separate my side I don't I don't believe it's bad Slit my throat It's all I ever |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Anjo Fortunately, I discovered this misheard lyric for myself and not by embarrassing myself, BUT! I dunno, especially the protozoa part....I had a strong suspicion that couldn't possibly be right, but I could not un-hear it. Now that Live 105 is back in action over here, they play it enough that I finally heard it correctly, but I laugh every time I hear this song and still just sing "Spread my protozoa" occasionally. What does that even mean?? |

Funniest Song Lyrics:
"Soul To Squeeze"
The Funny Lyrics: Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad Why They're Funny: This is scat-singing during the bridge verse, transcribed exactly.

This is very laughable to say the least.

In "Especially in Michigan", the line "A rainy Lithuanian dancing with an Indian" is about his great-grandfather (who's from Lithuania) and his mother (who has some Mohican blood)
Submitted by: JeReMy
"Native American Pride"
RHCP vocalist/lyricist Anthony Kiedis has Mohican Native American blood. The defiant snarling 1989 song "Johnny, Kick A Hole In The Sky" is a crude explicit display of outrage against the 500 year + genocide of Native American peoples and a prideful stance of Kiedis' heritage.
