Why Anthony Kiedis SIngs Jibberish Around The World Red Hot Chili Peppers
When bands work on a new song, sometimes the music is written first and lyrics are written later on while the band use improvised jibberish as a placeholder until lyrics are written. However, sometimes these placeholder lyrics find their way in to the final version of a song for various reasons. Sometimes the reason is because the band just can't think of lyrics. Sometimes the reason is that the band is already behind schedule and the song sounds good enough. But this wasn't the case when Anthony Kiedis was writing lyrics for Around The World.
So why did the Red Hot Chili Peppers singer decide to leave placeholder lyrics in the final version of the song? Well, he did it for his daughter who had listened to her father throughout the recording process and became upset when the jibberish lyrics were removed later on in the development process. So Anthony obliged and include a portion of the original "lyrics" near the end of the song to make his daughter happy.

Following the release of Red Hot Minute and the ensuing tour, Red Hot Chili Peppers wanted to take their album in a more electronic direction along the lines of U2's Zooroopa. They even asked famed Synth Rocker David Bowie to produce their album. However, the Starman politely declined, and the band went with a familiar face in Rick Rubin who had already produced Red Hot Minute as well as Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
As singer Anthony Kiedis told MTV's Kurt Loder:
"We basically called about five other people, you know, from David Bowie to [Nine Inch Nails producer] Flood... And they all just pretty much said, 'That's very nice of you to ask, but I think not." - Anthony Kiedis, Red Hot Chili Peppers Pursued Bowie, Flood For Californication, MTV News (May 28, 1999)
Kurt Loder states:
"You called David Bowie?" ...he's not even that busy." - Kurt Loder, Red Hot Chili Peppers Pursued Bowie, Flood For Californication, MTV News (May 28, 1999)
Anthony replied:
"According to the letter he wrote me, he's very busy... But getting Rick, in the end, turned out to be, again, what we needed... When he came around, he fell in love with it like we had and actually ended up making it his life for two or three months." - Kiedis, Red Hot Chili Peppers Pursued Bowie, Flood For Californication, MTV News (May 28, 1999)

John Frusciante Unlocked Californication Code for Red Hot Chili Peppers
Californication could have been a very different album because the Red Hot Chili Peppers almost couldn't figure out how they wanted the album's title track to sound. In his autobiography, Scar Tissue, singer Anthony Kiedis reveals that he had written lyrics which he thought were some of his best but the band could not agree on how they wanted to music to represent the lyrics. That is, until one day guitarist John Frusciante had an epiphany and came to the studio claiming he had finally figured out something for the band to work with. It's a good thing that he did because according to producer Rick Rubin the band were pretty close to throwing the song out. Instead, it went from the scrap-room floor and became one of the band's career-defining hits.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Wrote 28 Songs for Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers wrote about 28 songs in preparation for Californication. About 24 songs were finished and only 14 made the album.
Drummer Chad Smith told Guitar World:
"Yeah, like 24 songs were actually finished in the studio, and we're going to put 14 of them on the record. It was hard for us to agree which ones we think are the best. We all think differently about it. So we just kind of made a list of the ones that we all agreed on, and those are the ones we put on the record...
But I can't say for sure that those are better than the ones we left off.” - Smith, Red Hot Chili Peppers Discuss Their New Energy And Californication, J.D. Considine, Guitar World (Dec 9, 2011)

Deceased Guitarist Tribute on Otherside Red Hot Chili Peppers
Anthony Kiedis opens up about struggles with drug addiction on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' hit song "Otherside." Which might explain some of the imagery used in the music video where we can see Flea strung out and playing bass on the wires of a telephone pole or a person battling with their shadow-self as the try to navigate a complex maze where just when one thinks they've found an exit, they simply find themselves trapped in another part of the same puzzle. The video ends with the main character in the same exact situation they were in at the beginning of the video, symbolizing the never-ending cycle of drug addiction. The song and video are allegedly a tribute to founding Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist Hillel Slovak who died of an overdose in 1988.

Song Meaning Californication Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Red Hot Chili Peppers hit song "Californication" is a compilation of stories and scenes that singer Anthony Kiedis has witnessed while in the city or throughout his daily life. The lyrics about "psychic spies in china' were inspired by a woman Anthony witnessed rambling on the street. The song also makes various references to films and pop-culture, including Star Wars and Star Trek through the lines "Space may be the final frontier but its made in a Hollywood basement" and "Alderaan's not far away."
As the singer himself told Uncut Magazine in 1999:
"Well, it’s a new word, so it’s open to interpretation. For me it’s about the process of the world being affected for better, for worse, for ugly, for beautiful by the art and culture that is born in this State.” - Kiedis, The Spice Boys, James McNair, Unknown Publication (accessed through TheChiliSource.com)

Flea's Jam Garage Red Hot Chili Peppers Rehearsal Studio
Californication was mostly written and rehearsed at a makeshift studio inside Flea's garage. Members of Red Hot Chili Peppers took a very relaxed approach to recording the album, including guitarist John Frusciante who dialed his guitar work back a bit because he was still in the process of recovering from drug addiction.
As singer Anthony Kiedis explains in his 2004 autobiography Scar Tissue:
"I loved the way John was playing when he didn't have the technical capacity to do everything... He toned down and developed an incredible minimalist style. Every day he came up with something spectacular... Everyone was having fun. It was as if we had nothing to lose, nothing to gain. We didn't care; we were making music for the sake of making music." - Kiedis, Kiedis, Anthony; Sloman, Larry (2004). Scar Tissue. New York City: Hyperion. ISBN 1-4013-0101-0.

Prodigal John Frusciante Returns to Red Hot Chili Peppers
Guitarist John Frusciante left the Red Hot Chili Peppers following the success of Blood Sex Sugar Magik because the band's newfound popularity was too overwhelming for him to handle. He also spiraled downward after developing an addiction to cocaine and heroin which developed while he was still performing with the band. Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction would be hired in his place to record One Hot Minute. However, Dave would leave the band while touring to support the album as it appeared he just wasn't a great fit for the band. According to bassist Flea:"Things got weird, and we parted ways with Dave. Which was a sad thing. He didn't quit, and we didn't fire him; it just kind of went that way.And because of that, we ended up getting back with John. We got in my garage and started playing, and it felt really natural. Really good, un-forced and uncontrived, and fun." - Flea, Red Hot Chili Peppers Discuss Their New Energy And Californication, J.D. Considine, Guitar World (Dec 9, 2011)Flea invited John back to the Red Hot Chili Peppers following his successful completion of rehab which was thought to be inspired by a promise from Flea that the two would perform in a band together again if the guitarist was able to get sober.VP of A&R at Warner Brothers, and CEO of Birdman Records, David Katznelson spoke with Rolling Stone shortly after John's return in 1998:"To get him back in the band is a good thing for them... He's still a great guitar player, and I don't think people realize the significance that John played in the Chili Peppers' sound. He wrote the music for 'Under the Bridge' and 'Breaking the Girl.' ... John has problems like anybody else does, but he's in a good way right now... He's one of those guys who can really turn himself around. Flea wouldn't work with him if he wasn't clean." - Katznelson, Red Hot Redux, Richard Skanse, Rolling Stone (Apr 30, 1998)

He wrote the music for 'Under the Bridge' and 'Breaking the Girl.' ... John has problems like anybody else does, but he's in a good way right now... He's one of those guys who can really turn himself around. Flea wouldn't work with him if he wasn't clean." - Katznelson, Red Hot Redux, Richard Skanse, Rolling Stone (Apr 30, 1998)

The Obsession That KILLED Sublime Bradley Nowell
Although some speculate that Bradley Nowell's drug addictions may have been initiated by his early prescriptions of Ritalin as a youth, The Sublime singer's wife attributed his heroin use to an unhealthy obsession with rock stars.“He wanted to be a rock star. He said it was very rock & roll, you know. Perry Farrell and Kurt Cobain and all those guys did drugs, and Brad wanted to see what it was like. Then they honestly begin to think that they write better music! I mean, Robbin’ the Hood [Sublime’s second album] was written when Brad was at his worst of being strung out. It’s a great album, but it’s all about his heroin abuse: ‘Now I’ve got the needle/I can shake but I can’t breathe/Take it away and I want more, more/One day I’m gonna lose the war.’ ” - Troy Dendekker; Bradley Nowell: Life After Death, Mark Kemp, Rolling Stone (Dec 25, 1997)

Sublime Doin Time & Summertime Original Lyrics
The final song of Sublime's self-titled album "Doin Time" uses a sample of George Gershwynn's "Summertime" as performed by famed jazz flutist Herbie Mann. In order to use the sample, Sublime had to agree to change the opening lyrics from "Doin time..." to "Summertime..." However, it was impossible for Nowell to re-record the lyrics at this point considering he had recently passed away. The opening lyric was re-recorded by friend and producer Michael Happoldt. Not to be confused with Michael Rappaport, because nobody wants to hear what he has to say. An unaltered version of the song would later be released in 2006 on the album's Deluxe Edition.

ORIGINAL Title of Sublime Self Titled
Sublime's self-titled album was originally planned to be called Killin It but this title was changed following singer Bradley Nowell's passing as it was determined that it would be in bad taste. It's also hard to imagine the album cover with anything other than Bradley's iconic back tattoo.
