I'm loving the new Chili's song, it has to be said, the video is a great little semi-parody too. Anyone else heard it? Opinions?

Radio 1 was saying it was 'nothing new from what the Chili's have produced before', but to be honest I can't find a song in my catalogue that I can compare it too, but it doesn't feel brand new, feels more like a mix of a few old songs, only better :wub:

I saw the video when it aired on Channel 4 the other night. The video was brilliant, I could stop laughing at The Flea in the goth get up.

But the song was surprisingly good too, yeah. I can't remember who posted the topic but they thought the song was a let down, like some of By The Way, but I thought it was pretty good. The name is far too similar to Californication for me though, I always end up saying Dani Californication before I realise >_<

Well, Dani California is the name of the "teenage girl with a baby inside" mentioned on Californication and she also makes some appearances on By The Way if I recall. I can't find the word to describe what she is, but she's a reoccuring character in their music.

The story goes that Kiedis hadn't realised that he's been talking about the same girl all along, basically 'Dani California' is a single girl made up of all the girls he's ever met, and in this song she meets her demise, which anyone with a semblance of logic for his song writing won't believe for a second.

Only just re-read this...but aren't you basically agreeing with Radio 1 with your statement? (I guess depending on whether you read Radio 1 as meaning a specific song, or RHCP's work in general)

I guess you can't expect RHCP to pull a rabbit out of thier arses and do something completely different, but yeah, it is nothing particularly different really, and nothing that they haven't done better than in the past.

What I meant was that it doesn't sound like any particular one of the old Chili's songs, but instead a mix of them all, it's not fresh persay, but it sounds very different.
