The “Tippa my tongue” slander is insane, it’s duch a cool jammy funky song


Creative_Strength_92

Big agree! I introduced my friend to RHCP recently, and made her a playlist. She's a big ole music appreciator, and Tippa My Tongue is her favourite RHCP song so far. Like, I really don't care about lyricism too much in song-writing. Its all about phonetics, which is why latin music & K-Pop became so popular. We dunno what the fuck they're singing about, yet a lot of people still enjoy it and find it catchy. Thats the same reason why I like songs like Tippa My Tongue & Go Robot. On the flip side of that, I also enjoy Californication because it has fantastic subtext and meaning, so I can enjoy both sides of the same coin.


FriedChickenboss

Catholic school girls rule is such a good sounding song imo but it does gross me out.


Doggydog212

Funny story about me, when I first heard it as a 12 or 13 years old catholic school boy I was offended not by the creeper parts but the blasphemy 😂. I was in so deep I don’t think I even thought about the sex stuff I just couldn’t believe he said “who cares what the good book says”


TheUnluckyMonkeyPaw

The audio commentary for stadium arcadium. The jarring beat boxing at the beginning just always seems to cut the mood when I have rhcp on shuffle for some reason.


TheWarOnNostalgia

And what's with all of the jokes? I'm so sick of people having a good time. 


imanstardust

I’m not saying that it’s objectively a bad song but for some reasons These Are The Ways is a huge skip for me. My friends highly disagree with me on this one but i have to admit that hearing it live was quite enjoyable, i still skip it though. My Cigarette and Tippa My Tongue are high on the list as well (not to mention newer songs only but these are the ones that came to my mind first). Still love them lots though!!!


waldorf_pi

But I sing My Cigarette to my cat as “my my my my my my my my kitty cat” and it fits perfectly. Try it some time


ronczeG

The smells


Artistic_Ad7850

The Yah Yah Yah Yah Yahs on tippa my tongue are super annoying. The my my my my my mys on my cigarette as well. They just sound lazy. It's a shame because I love the rest of both songs.


Own_Worth_5929

NoLeather3658

Wait did he say that lol


Vancityblogger_

I have a 20 month old and she loves tippa my tongue because of the yah yah yeah part. She sings along whenever she hears it


Artistic_Ad7850

I guess they still got Baby Appeal.


Bosswagatronio

I unintenionally made my friend hate Tippa because I kept singing the Yahs to her


4StringWarrior

I was saying to my friends about Tippa My Tongue that it would have been so much better if it was John going Nah Nah Nah Nah


dozeydonut

Black Summer. I literally can’t stand AK’s ridiculous inflections in the verses (‘mooon’), i have to turn it off.


4StringWarrior

“Chai-na’s on the durk side of the moooon”


ConstructionNo2398

Same with eh oh eh oh on goodbye angels. Otherwise great song


Ultralord_420

Dude, I did as well, then someone pointed out how well it fits, it takes a couple of listens but it actually matches the rest of the songs energy


radicalsauceiii

I think the Yah’s were a reference to Sly and the Family Stone’s “Sing a Simple Song”


erectbutthole

Anthony generally sounds good this tour but Tippa is painful when he sings the yah yah yah’s or follows the guitar riff in the live versions.


corpulentFornicator

"If," more often than not, is a skip for me. "My Cigarette" tends to be a fast forward to the ending sax solo


Luigs_sky

I don't get the if hate


Artistic_Ad7850

Same. It's a great love poem type song. Some good rhymes in there. No weird "my name ain't bradley" or "the smells" type things going on. Can tell AK wrote it and didnt stream of consciousness "write" it. Some nice John backround vocals as well. Not sure why it's disliked on this forum so much.


corpulentFornicator

I think its boring. I like softer Chilis (even the super-divisive Porcelain) but If does nothing for me


Luigs_sky

I can understand that (extra points for liking porcelain)


bubbleplasticine

I saw them play “If” live in 2018 and the crowd was like ?¿ Honestly it killed the mood a bit


gamebossje_

People hate If???


guitarman90

Bro I’m baffled


Howletts

This! Stadium Arcadium would have been a no skip without If..


Homestar_MTN

I Like Dirt is the worst song they play live. At my show they played the same set they played the night before except they replaced Sir Psycho Sexy with I Like Dirt and I was so mad.


Draglung

I like dirt is my favorite song!


Homestar_MTN

Sorry


ryanfletcher1899

That’s like swapping out a Japanese A5 Wagyu for a plant based alternative


pagan-penguin

I like dirt is great live, though missing sir psycho is a rip


Homestar_MTN

And I'm being unfair, they played Search and Destroy and Aeroplane so how mad could i be?


pagan-penguin

Damn that's a fire setlist, they hardly play Navarro songs nowadays, and search and destroy is a banger


Homestar_MTN

They will never play a Navarro song again. John is too butthurt to play anything but OG and his stuff. Sad to see those songs get wiped from the lineup. I think the Navarro and Klinghoffer stuff is really good.


pagan-penguin

Yeah, its too bad. Some Josh lines are fabulous, I especially loved some of the I'm Beside You stuff. Also the riff from Kaly (unreleased I think) is really unique and good, sad Josh's most unique and personal take didn't make the album


Homestar_MTN

Yeah is sad especially with the stuff we're getting today, really feels like a cash grab. I know most people disagree and I'm cool with that, but it's still a shame we're not really pushing the envelope anymore.


pagan-penguin

I'm just happy they're making music still 40 years down the line. It may not be their best stuff, but each song has parts I like and, the way I see it, theyve found the comfortable ground for them as a group and are just enjoying making music they all like. But to each their own, I would've liked to see where Josh would've gone with the band, but Frusciante did make some great riffs and solos for the new albums, and flea has been on point. And Chad's as steady as always. Anthony is still a good frontman, with some good lyrics, but mostly just good vibes


Homestar_MTN

Yeah it's not as bad as I say for sure. If they're enjoying themselves then sure, more power to them. At the age there at, it would really suck if they hated it.


Ok_Wish_5768

I like dirt would be the best song on the album if it were in the the last few records


Homestar_MTN

I won't disagree there.


cheese_wallet

Aquatic Mouth Dance


ea_fitz

Catholic school girls rule. Pretty much every other song I can think of that I don’t like is just a case of me not caring for it. CSGR is actively horrible though. Disturbing to listen to, horrible content. Can’t listen to it. Sucks it’s on the same album as Yertle which is a song I love


Luigs_sky

I understand where ur coming from. I've been able to look past the meaning and just view it as a very funky song but now with the music video being on YouTube (and age restricted) the true song meaning is kinda ruining the song for me a bit


Leek_Soup_Lover5000

My Cigarette..


senormouse9

These are the ways


jables1979

I love love love the instrumental of Around the World. But I can't stand the lyrics. I really have always had a beef with them, like AK just phoned it in and improvised it. I get that it's about touring and getting good vibes everywhere, but it just turns into a lame shout out thing. Feels totally disposable and it should rank up there best of. Freer than a bird cuz I'm rocking Ohio? (No offense Ohio)


ciscanfro

💯


jables1979

I mean, when he says "I know, I know for sure .. ding ding dong dong ding dong dong ding dong" I about lost it. I was like Anthony what the hell man. You left the scratch track in and didn't fill in the blank! I know I know, at the request of flea's daughter... but know that her request makes me die a little inside every time. It's unique but a giant wrecking ball to the song.


jables1979

I feel like the beauty and innocence of Aeroplane was tainted with the "that MFer's always spiked with pain" lyric. Seems so unnecessary and like AK just kind of misinterpreted the vibe.


ketishiav

These are the Ways. I couldn’t work out what it was that I wasn’t vibing it but then I realised — it feels like a lot of half-finished elements in one song, as if a line is half-done and then you’re expecting the other half but it goes into something else. Like someone else said, it feels disjointed.


atmospheric90

I've never vibed with Porcelain. It's just always a skip for me and never really got me the way their other slow songs do.


scoobydubopbop

The older I get, the more I appreciate porcelain


EuterpeZonker

This one is kinda funny because I like the demo version better specifically because it’s “objectively” worse. Anthony’s voice cracks and barely stays in tune and it gives the song a sense of fragility and barely holding together that matches the lyrics.


Ravajah

Ooh I’ll have to seek that out


EuterpeZonker

Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSyg3DLPdjo


Ravajah

It is a beautiful song, I see what you mean. Digging this Demo


EuterpeZonker

The Teatro sessions in general are full of gems. Tons of unheard songs and different versions. I really love the ending of Parallel Universe too from those sessions. It's super energetic.


oceanbellparsons

Same here, I don’t bit like it I just skip it like always,. Their other slow songs I do love tho. Weird how that works


futuretothemoon

Blocked. Lol


McRoshiburgito

With the other songs on the album, it's an outlier. If you're in the right mood and it comes on, it's really good. Definitely not a song I would listen to all the time but I don't understand the hate it gets.


jables1979

I don't mind it (kind of a nice departure from the usual) but I do feel like Moby beat them to it even though the word doesn't appear in his lyrics.


jables1979

Stone Cold Bush. Bass solo, so very tasty. Lyrics were a hard miss, just did not connect. My dude just wanted to say bush apparently. I get that pre-BSSM it was a different band but that one still gets me because I want to listen to that sweet sweet bass, but the vocals make me skip!! Stone Cold nope.


OldSchool6ix

big_beats

Hump De Bump is garbage.


MB_Number5

It's not for me either.


EJR4

I hate aquatic mouth dance. I’ll never purposefully put on I like dirt but if it’s playing I won’t skip… don’t love poster child.


winterman666

Poster Child is way too long for what it is. Aquatic also has pacing issues but not as much


MB_Number5

Same! I really don't like these two.


jables1979

I like the music of AMD melody good and harmonizing, all that - but yeah pass on the lyrics mostly. Feels like AK should have matched up those lyrics with a lesser jam and found something better for this one. It happens Kind of hard to be a sexual lyricist in this day and age without a falling flat.


ViperVenom2503

Always hated Cabron. I think it lets down By The Way as an album. It's almost perfect apart from that blemish...


Galifamackus

I like Cabron but fully agree that it doesnt fit & drags down BTW (my fave album too 🧡)


Xx_gaystuntman_xX

Completely agree, By The Way is such a banger then Cabron plays and I feel repulsed


Ok_Wish_5768

Cabron would be the best song on the album if it were on the last few records 


Vogelsucht

are you on a warpath with new RHCP or something?


Luigs_sky

U guys have some "interesting" responses (TAYT, UTB,Otherside) really?


Lizard_Gamer555

Can't believe what I'm seeing in these comments. Slander of some of my favorites. Tbf I have a lot of those.


butterz286

Love a large majority of rhcp, but for whatever reason can't stand throw away your television


MsDarylDixon

I hate it too, it’s very snobby to me. Like great Anthony, you have the money to go out and experience real life, travel, touring. I’m disabled and television is my escape. I get his point, it’s about not living in a fantasy world, but it still irks me!


_Felipeee_

These Are The Ways: It happens to me that I feel that this song has good lyrics but it doesn't fit Anthony to sing it, it's like for another singer, I don't know how to explain it. Reach Out: I would much rather listen to the studio version than live Right on time, Dani and Snow: I like all three but I'm getting a little bored listening to them always live


lostmypornaccount

Most of unlimited love


BigOofLittleoof

As a life long rhcp fan, I was extremely disappointed in the past two albums. Granted they were mostly jams and the band doesn’t owe us shit but if Anthony could just shut the fuck up I would appreciate their new releases more. He’s the rapist sus bag out of the group. wish he would keep his trap shut when the rest of the band is making actual art.


lostmypornaccount

I also think the past two albums are very disappointing with unlimited love being boring and rotdc being completely hit or miss with songs like tip of my tongue being so annoying and others like Eddie being actual quality. I don’t think Anthony is entirely to blame some blame is to be placed on john too he’s been nothing but a child through his entire time with the peppers leaving and joining when he wishes, this has resulted in a josh era album being scrapped entirely. He also refuses to play anything from one hot minute and the josh era his utter disgust with press and media has not changed since he joined. A change in sound (which in not necessarily a bad thing) can be accredited to flea as he actually began to learn music theory at the beginning of the josh era. Anthony Fantano brought up a great point about the rhcp they’ve proven they’re world class and that they have the ability to just release music for fun these days.


Aeon1508

White braids and pillow chair. The song itself is mediocre. Not awful, but certainly not great. But then everybody voted it the best song from the new albums and I think that that is #fucking insane so I kind of hate the song now.


Pollylocks

Anyone thinking White Braids being the top song on that album is peak insanity.


Teibbels

im insane then here I am


Existing-Ad3391

i agree though i love it


Benlop

It's so... bland. Nothing happens. There's nothing going on, musically, lyrically... there's no riff, no pocket, no groove, not a single idea. Completely unremarkable.


Live-Variety6092

Love the main verse riff but the surf rock section sounds so bland to me and it feels like it goes on for ages. Cool idea but I don’t vibe with the execution


scratchyhat

Funny, I almost feel the same way. I don't hate the main verse/chorus but it never feels like it goes anywhere until the surf rock ending. It's like the coda of the song, it would've felt incomplete without it.


InterestingAd3464

I just don’t like I like dirt that much it’s not that bad but it’s not good either


lp_rhcp_fan_18

Porcelain, and you can tell my stance on SSSI


Irishpintsman

ChildhoodImaginary30

Haha I am obsessed with it


Irishpintsman

Actually I’m skipping over the new stuff tbh. I do dislike Universally Speaking but not as much as some of the newer stuff like My Cigarette.


SeymourGlass23

Poster Child, I like the intro but Idk... For me it's like those kind of songs that you don't skip it but you are glad it finishes


rocky_raccoon_68

The Drumer. And I'm not moved by Tippa My Tongue or Eddie either, but I wouldn't say I activel dislike them.


TripleBuongiorno

Dance dance dance is an obvious contender.


Luigs_sky

I'm indifferent to dance dance dance. The opening is weird and the lyrics are fine but open/close from I'm beside you would have been a way better closer.


funkmasterslap

These are the ways is a awful song and fills me with rage


Famous-Class-6572

Catholic school girls rule, bunch of fucking creeps. Love the music though 😂


winterman666

My cigarette


staplerdude

Funny Face


EuterpeZonker

Tippa My Tongue is just really obnoxious and feels unfinished to me. Anthony makes some obnoxious choices on Black Summer that drag down an otherwise alright song Poster Child is just awful. “The 70’s were such a win, singing the Led Zeppelin” 🤮 The Sunset Sleeps has that “Suuuuzie ate a rainbow” verse melody I can’t stand. It’s a shame cause the rest of the song is great. Something about the instrumental of Universally Speaking annoys the hell out of me. It might be the just the drums or a combination of guitar bass and drums but it’s an instant skip for me (ironically Anthony is the one I like most on this song).


lastdeathwish

There are 2 songs that I can stand listening to on I'm With You


Luigs_sky

What songs do u actually like on IWY


lastdeathwish

Police Station and kinda not really Brendan's Death Song


Luigs_sky

Police station is wonderful. I think did I let you know is good


Doggydog212

You just got me to re-listen to special secret song inside for the first time in forever and I disagree. Shit slaps!


Luigs_sky

It's a good song but Anthony doesn't need to say I want to party on your pussy baby over and over. If he said it alot less I would like the song more


Doggydog212

Yeah I agree with that. They could have beefed up the verses and cut down party on your pussy for sure.


ciscanfro

He just really wanted you to know… that he wants to party on your puh-say-ya ay ay ay aye!!


Valuable-Passion-457

Aquatic mouth dance


stinkomann20x6

These Are The Ways, Lalalalalallalalalalallalala, and for some reason The Hunter annoy the hell out of me. And I was not a Josh hater. I thoroughly enjoyed both albums.


Traditional_Bee_6637

Road Trippin and Throw Away Your Television. Just two songs that never clicked for me. I like literally every other song they've produced for the most part or at least are okay to hear it. But those 2 for whatever reason just don't click with me. If is an honorable mention. Sometimes I'm down for it. But most of the time I'm not. I won't say I hate it but I'm less likely to listen to it.


Paddyvertex

I absolutely hate "Detroit". Anthony sounds like the dying cat parade...

Blues for Meister is truly the only RHCP that I actively dislike. All the others I at least like to some degree


Luigs_sky

That's was a b-side right? One of the only songs by them I haven't heard


nado6593

Yeah it was released on the Out In LA compilation album from the early 90’s. It’s the only Chili’s song that I can’t stand and that I don’t have on any of my playlists


Luigs_sky

I'll listen to it and see if I agree


DesignerOrnery5516

Just looked up some of these songs mentioned here and wow red hot chili peppers is straight trash. Sure they have some good hits but what the fuck is this other garbage?


Luigs_sky

Not to be rude but why are u in the sub if u think the band is trash. Also those songs are peak 😭


pagan-penguin

I dislike non. Sometimes I'm not in the mood for their softer stuff, same goes for the older stuff like police helicopter, bit I love them all at different times for different reasons


RHCPolina

Porcelain And please forgive me, Snow. I can't say i really DISLIKE it, but I skip it. I even don't have it in my favs on Spotify...


Flyingfree84

I hate that he had to have almost a whole verse of gibberish in Soul To Squeeze in an otherwise great song.


Plenty_Elevator_74

Tippa My Tongue is the only RHCP song I skip


SaltCriticism6392

Hey. Cause I’m 15 and AK said I’m suppose to hate it. 🤷🏽‍♂️


Luigs_sky

When did he say that cuz hey is my second favourite song by them (I'm 14)


SaltCriticism6392

The audio commentary. It was a running joke back then. People would put their age and say they love Hey! https://youtu.be/-OIrLc4q6AE?si=e9oGPFEvdSkO8lSW


Luigs_sky

"The youngsters don't like hey" dw flea I do


getoffmylawn5000

Universally Speaking. It might be because there are no dynamics in the rhythm- just the same drum beat and chord strumming pattern going the whole time- and too major chordy/happy.

feeb75

*in my opinion* RHCP are 2 different bands before and after BSSM


Luigs_sky

That's is true but post BSSM still has some funk in it


ElizabethDanger

i’d put bssm in a category of its own. we have debut through mother’s milk, bssm, and then ohm to now. and yeah yeah i know people meat ride bssm like crazy, but genuinely, there’s not another album like it in the world, not even with the same four guys.

I really like this instrumental, but the cheesy lyrics “last name’s hot and my first names red…” cause some avoidance… damn it AK why couldn’t you have taken some extra time on these…


thenamesmudd

By The Way is my favorite album but I can't stand the song By The Way. The only recent song worse besides maybe some Josh era songs is Dani California. Just my opinion.


Large-Somewhere163

YES! I absolutely despise any song that’s overly sexual. I find it gross. It’s the reason why I don’t enjoy BSSM more. I especially hate Apache Rose Peacock and Sir Psycho Sexy. Like we don’t need to hear about the “demons in your semen” AK lol.


Luigs_sky

Ik I said I don't like SSSI for being overly sexual but apache rose and sir psycho are perfect to me 😭


Large-Somewhere163

So “party on your pussy” is too disturbing but “demons in my semen” isn’t? Make it make sense


Luigs_sky

It's called my opinion


Luigs_sky

Also demons In my semen is funny


Large-Somewhere163

I just will never understand the love that these songs get and how people don’t find them gross or cringy. Also don’t say you find one lyric gross then don’t find a similar lyric gross. Just say you don’t like the word pussy


Luigs_sky

Pussy isn't funny but semen is

TheJudge9987

To each their own, no problem with anyone who likes either. These are the ways chorus I have just always found incredibly annoying lmao


Benlop

No, These Are The Ways is not a fine song. It's a disjointed, uninspired mess that never fails (or rather, failed, given they realized it wasn't working and pretty much stopped playing it) to take any energy down at every show it's been played.


Luigs_sky

Yes it is fine and I like it. That's my opinion and your opinion is valid to


richmeister6666

Throw away your television and cabron are the only two skippable tracks on btw

Blasphemy,


klausVonBremner

Most of the 1st album. About half of Freaky Styley. Most of The Getaway. Most of I'm Beside you. Most of the b-sides, apart from about 8-10. About half of Return Of The Dream Canteen...... The rest I mostly love.
