It’s so interesting how the lyrics Kiedis writes can sound very silly at first, but with deeper dives they become more meaningful. Specifically the “her perfume smells like gasoline, my girlfriends trash is nice and clean” line could be describing one person. Her perfuming smelling like gasoline may mean she is poor and can’t afford nice perfumes, while her “trash” being clean likely means that the things she has (decor, furniture, etc) are essentially trash being presented as things nicer than they are, because once again, she is poor. The song seems to be a story of people in love while being poor, the simple pleasures that go along with it, the drugs to forget the problems, and the hardships that come along with it all.
The funky monks line is a reference to their song of that title from their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, it is also the title of their documentary released the same year.
This funk/hip hop mixed with rock/distortion is their roots. Listen to the album Blood Sex Sugar Magic. Apache Rose Peacock, Sir Psycho Sexy... Same type of vibe. Awesome that you reacted to this and you summed it up perfectly. Weird, but sounds wonderful.
Anthony writes more poetic lyrics that are left up to each listener rather than super specific ones. He does that occasionally, but for the most part he likes when people can relate to them in their own way. As for the style in this song, this is kind of who the Chili Peppers have always been. Anthony didn't really start singing until about a decade into their career. I never really labeled what he did as rapping before, but I guess that is what it is. So they've been in the hip-hop realm since they started. They're hard to place in a genre, which I why I love them so much. They just love music so they do as wide a variety as they can. Funky Monks is also a reference to many things in the bands history. It's a song title, a documentary title, and just a thing they called themselves while recording the album all the above is a part of. They secluded themselves for a few months to get the album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik recorded and they've always incorporated funk into their music. Thus, Funky Monks was born.
TOO mainstream 👎 Show me your soul, Apache rose peacock, if you have to ask, walkabout, quixoticelixir, purple stain, nobody weird like me.. fit more with Tippa my Tongue
They've had lot of hiphop influences since their first record from the early 80's, so it's a nice gesture to welcome them into hiphop, but comes maybe a bit too late :) Good and entertaining reaction video nevertheless.
You got to hear their version of don't forget me live at the cigale, or any other live performances at slam Castle they are one of the best live performing bands of all time
I think you are otherthinking the lyrics. rhcp has lyrics that are a bit silly but some songs are meaningful. under the bridge, porcelain and tearjerker are some songs with good lyrics.
Red hot chili peppers have had a lot of hip-hop influence throughout the years. Going back to give it away and even one big mob. How much of it comes from their initial funk influence even worked with George Clinton on their second album as a producer.
It's obvious that you're not familiar with the RHCP style of music. I think that this is more of an learning experience for you. Welcome to the Master Class.
RHCP have been experimenting with hip hop influences since the 80s! And the “funky monks” reference is to a song of the same name from their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik which broke them into the mainstream. “We’ve only just begun / Funky monks are on the run” is basically saying that even though they’ve been together nearly 40 years (!) as a band, they’re still tapping into an endless well of creativity and passion for what they do. Plus it’s a hint to John Frusciante being back in the band after 15 years of absence. I cried when I first heard that line, it means a lot.
Please react to Knock Me Down next. And if you like their rapping and Hip-Hop feel, any song from the first 3 albums will fill that need but especially “Organic Anti Beat Box Band”
Now you have to react to Funky Monks! Then you'll understand this songs chorus and why it hit us die hard RHCP fans so deep lol. Also, they've been heavily influenced by hip hop since they began in '83.
👋🏻 Your audio is fuckin amazing I’m going to crank this shit on my stereo …….for sure….. I like ,I want……….. 🔊 I’m a RHCP fan from way bk……..I’ve seen them 8 xs and I hope more xs before I get to my living universe of warm 💗
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but Dr. Funkenstein, George Clinton, helped them produce their Freaky Styley album back in ‘85. Anthony started off as a rapper for the band, until he started taking his role in the band more seriously. Their story is pretty crazy and heart wrenching.
Most of the Lyrics Anthony mentions is to refer to earlier songs by RHCP. Look back at the other albums and Funky Monks is there, Aeroplane, Rollercoaster by the Ohio Players. Too many to count off the top of my head and I've been a chili since 1988. This song reignited the fire for me.. Hahahahaha... YOU INTRODUCE THEM ?? HAHAHA... they was there way before you was? Look at Flea the Bass Players list of albums he played on for other artists? Your head will FALL OFF SON...RHCP has been around since 1979 .
Please also react music Wonderland Indonesia 2 : the sacred nusantara by Alffy Rev. Its short movie with CGI, rap & also rock gitar. For celebrate indonesia independence day on 17 august. Thanks
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were heavily influenced by funk bands like George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic. In fact, their 2nd album Freaky Styley was produced by George Clinton.
I wonder how many people "react" live after seeing the video 5 times. Huh bruh? We really need genuine content more than ever. Shitty acting save for Hollywood, they're killin it w/that.
It's a reach but I think it's her trash is clean being she has nice junk so a clever innuendo without explicit on the cover of the album knowing them they put one on anyway PA RHCP albums 🔥
As a being who has had several LSD Experiences it does not give any more insight to what the whole “my girlfriends trash is always clean” verses are supposed to mean It might hit me in a few years Thats happened before for me with his lyrics
I just can't get over with why does your glasses have "adidas" logo on them? I mean, you don't exactly look like sporty fellow yourself, so why you'd endorse that brand? or any brand for that matter? Did you pay extra for that brand to have commercial on side of your head every time you wear those otherwise pretty regular frames? I really want to understand this :D like if you are a fan of this brand or what is the logic behind it? Like, is having adidas branded frames a status thing or something? I'm just curious!
@@diyit0 all I said is “this isnt what I think about when I think about the chili peppers” I didn’t say they didn’t make music like this normally or that this isn’t what they are known for. I was just giving my opinion on this song. Personally it’s not what I consider one of their better songs. I’ve listened to plenty of their music. I would have introduced them with a different song, thats just my opinion. I don’t think my comment required you to make it seem like I have no idea about who the chili peppers are. If not I didn’t know anything about them then I wouldn’t have known that they also make songs with a different type of style than this one.
@@blakeandcamp thats my point… when did that album come out?? I was listening to them in the early 90s thats over a decade difference to when you’re talking about
They've probably done acid since they've done pretty much everything. But this was nowhere near their best stuff. The Other Side, which has been mention is much better. Plus a few in their early years
@@valorgaming7114 Well a lot of political people think trump was a good president too. Most people just find their opinions stuck to the toilet seat of some "opinion maker".

I enjoyed this comment a lot 👌
Beautiful analysis!
Lol or maybe her perfume just smellled like gasoline when he was tripping on acid
Anthony was a poet before RHCP. Knowing this, the abstract lyrics make more sense when read as poetry and not as lyrics.
And the line about not being afraid of kids, as in having them. Which would be tough for poor parents. This comment is making a lot of sense.
" It's very odd". LOL. That my friend, is the power and feeling of Funk!
The funky monks line is a reference to their song of that title from their 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, it is also the title of their documentary released the same year.
I guess it's rather a reference to themselves
You are both correct
@@danisantos9875 i would lean more to this one
There’s just no other band in the world that can sound like them, it’s groovy, funky, it’s just rhcp you either like them or you don’t type of thing
This funk/hip hop mixed with rock/distortion is their roots. Listen to the album Blood Sex Sugar Magic. Apache Rose Peacock, Sir Psycho Sexy... Same type of vibe. Awesome that you reacted to this and you summed it up perfectly. Weird, but sounds wonderful.
Exactly dude! I instantly got American ghost dance vibes from this song

@@ohwellwhateverr Best definition for RHCP
"the feels are 70s with 90s rap". Released the other day
Listen to their Mother’s Milk, Freaky Styley, and BSSM albums. This is more like their earlier material.
Been doing hiphop style vocals since 1983 hahhaha
We love Red Hot Chili Peppers! I’m going to their Miami concert on the 30th! Please continue reacting to them
How was it?

You got to hear their version of don't forget me live at the cigale, or any other live performances at slam Castle they are one of the best live performing bands of all time
Yesss!! Don’t forget me is amazing and strip my mind too!
Red Hot Chili Peppers have been a funk rock band with early hip hop influences from their inception in 1983.
Amen to that!
I think you are otherthinking the lyrics. rhcp has lyrics that are a bit silly but some songs are meaningful. under the bridge, porcelain and tearjerker are some songs with good lyrics.
Lead singers first written song was a rap. They’ve always had a funky hip hop inspired sound
You gotta check out more of RHCP !! Sir psycho sexy if you want more weird funky style
You should check out the live at Slane Castle version of Give It Away. Also the official video of The Zepher Song.
His react when Anthony made the face is LOL
I love how you try analyzing the lyrics for about 90 seconds...
Then the realization kicks in.
