Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Red Hot Chili Peppers

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.

Song Parody Recordings:

July 26 "I Got Mental Retardation" by "Silly" Nelson Duncan a parody of "Californication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Parody of "Californication" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Recorded in Iraq. Thanks to Borat, South Park, Sling Blade and Special Ed for little sound clips used. Before you negatively judge, I have two children that suffer from Autism. When I talk like a Retard it makes them laugh and it is very helpful for them to feel like their problems are not the worse kind out there. I feel it is therapeutic for anyone to talk like a retard. I do it regularly Soundclick.com, DontGoToThisWebsite.com: (mp3) (Comments)
