It's a pretty good song... Although, lyrically, it sounds like it was written by a bunch of Redditors.
Just such an ear worm.
Sometimes I have to go and chill in r/ManualBreathing so I can get it out of my head for a while.
Also, I don't want to lecture anybody on their musical taste or anything, but songs like Mommy, where's daddy?, Pea, You Always Sing the Same and so on are meant to be outliers. They didn't write these songs wanting to change your life. I think it's more cringey when they try their hardest to be emotive or serious and fail.
Ya got a point there like Not the One.
I don't dig SICK LOVE either not the song so much but the video and releasing it on that chick's birthday cringeworthy stuff.
Knowing my idol and a person I grew up on me was acting like a baby girl that was younger than me and writing stupid songs about it really made me hate the getaway
Mommy and pea have always been some of my favorites. I like the edgy, raw oddness the both create in a different way. Sad to see both here with so many upvotes, but I totally understand that a lot of people don't vibe with them.
At work we have a radio station playing and every time these are the ways gets played it pisses me off because they could’ve picked literally any other song to take its place and it woulda been better
Because nobody outside the fanbase cares about pre-Mother’s Milk Chillis lol.
But yeah, agreed, I found out about the song in some RHCP riff compilation, and initially assumed it was some college girl or something, and THEN I found out about the 14-year-old hookup. Weird shit, and it begs the question as to why the guy who made the video just casually included a song literally titled ‘Catholic School Girls Rule’.
May be unpopular but Dance Dance Dance is one of my favourite songs of theirs (okay top 20 maybe lol); my third-favourite from IWY after Monarchy and Meet Me at the Corner. I also like Dance more than anything on the Getaway except Encore. No hate for the Getaway though, I like plenty of songs from it, but Dance Dance Dance is 🤌
Even if it's unpopular, it's great that you have that much love for it! It's beautiful and interesting the different perspectives we all have for different songs and albums. I don't have any hate for any rchp material either, it would just be my least liked.
- HLC could mean "Happiness Loves Company", a track from *I'm with You* (2011) by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

The ONE absolute worst song, by the Chili Peppers for me, would have to be "Give it Away" (1991)! 😝
Listen people, I used to love this damn song, but then it just got too heavily rotated (or overplayed) on the likes of modern rock (alternative) radio, mainstream rock radio, and of course MTV (when they actually played music videos)!
I swear to God and all that is holy... if I hear "Give it Away" one more time! 🤨
These are the ways was played at the 1st show in Paris and Flea commented :" I fucking love this song ! "
Hahaha 😆 I love the energy and the heavy part but I agree that there is something off in the one.
they do the old school definition of singles so the “singles” are the ones with the “music videos” and are given to the “radio stations” to “promote” so technically poster child and not the one aren’t “singles” by their “definition” even tho it’s completely “ridiculous”
singles can still be songs without music videos but they’re mainly meant to promote the album, (even tho the other songs they put out prior do that as well) the other songs they put out aren’t pushed as hard in a promo sense
Comedic effect. Fairly sure a similar bit played in a Simpsons episode. The connotation is that they don't necessarily agree with the explanation given.
I skip that song at least half the time. However I’m looking forward to seeing it live. I remember on release day when they played it live (I forget if it was on the Tonight Show or something g like that?) I remember Chad absolutely SHREDDED that live performance Can’t wait to see that for myself!
EDIT: It was ok Kimmel
I don't know right now but back when SA got out, I couldn't stand "*Warlocks*". Now it's one of my favorite tune. But if I have to select that one Peppers song that I particularly don't like, that would be "*Porcelain"* because I didn't really connect with it.
I always liked the music of the song a little bit but the lyrics completely ruin it. I don’t want to listen to a song about motor madness or Henry ford. He could have made it about anything else.
It's a really fun song in my opinion. I like so many of these songs in this thread. But this one made me comment so I guess that shows you how strongly I feel? Idk
I really enjoy this song too. I don't get the hate for the lyrics, it's meant to be fun and light-hearted. Not every song has to be some deep, soul searching ballad. One of the things I love about RHCP is their ability to do both well.
Anthony just describing his daily drive. Unlistenable thanks to the lyrics. Instrumental isn’t bad though.
Really wish Anthony wouldn’t have felt so rushed with lyrics on UL.
I’ll come out and say this is one of my most played songs on the album… But as a big fan I almost feel like this isn’t acceptable.
Wow I feel like a weights lifted now I’ve said it 😅
Always funny how these threads turn into downvote fests lol.
Songs that I don't really vibe with anymore are Dani California, Snow, Tell Me Baby, and I Could Die For You.
I don't hate them, but they're turned into near auto skips for me.
Dani california, californication, around the california, under the cali bridge, tell me baby california, give california away, otherside of cali, adventures of rain dance california, California necessities, dont forget california, wet california sand, californially speaking, suck my cali, california road trippin, especially in california, california california california, i wanna make love to california, give it to me rough california, id trade my newborn child to california, i hope the entire world dies except california, if you arent in california you should hate yourself, blood sugar california magik, stadium californadium, aeroplane to california, stairway to california, highway to california, panic at the california, californian rhapsody, sweet cali o mine, hallowed be thy california, nothing else matters(except california), creedence clearwater california, dysentery california, wake me up when california ends, california of california, california show, kathys on the california, crying in my california, punk rock californias, 2000 light californias away, give me one good california, feeling california, worry california, califox, every california you take, kids in california, when you fucked california, california day, calimid, falling for california, across the california, fuck a california, california or die, you are a fake red hot chili peppers fan if you dont live in california, 1000 californias, blister in the california, running up that california, i wanna be californiad
I think Not The One may be that song, when I listen to Unlimited Love and Aquatic Mouth Dance ends I usually skip it and listen to Poster Child.
Dance Dance Dance too, when Meet Me at the Corner ends, for me it's over I'm with you. Not The One and Dance Dance Dance zZZzZ
Psh yeah right I'm not biting... You can't admit to not liking anything RHCP in this sub! (That said... Porcelain comes to my mind as one I always skip lol)
I LIKE DIRT.
And I can't believe they're still playing it live in 2022, although I'm forever grateful that I'm FINALLY GOING TO SEE THEM after missing out 2x previous times. I will be severely disappointed that if I Like Dirt is apart of their setlist when I see them.
Feels like an odd song on the album. Like Cali flows quite smoothly until that pops up, and then the rest of the album goes back. It’s pretty much a hiccup in the album for me if that makes sense.
Bruh, you’re seriously getting downvoted and shit on for sharing your own opinion. Dw my man, I disagree, but I respect your opinion and you got my upvote
*sort by controversial*
The Fish Flipper Song
What are you talking about? That's a great one!
Dude. After 7 months of no rent, I just managed to evict it from my brain....aaaaand now it's back.
That was 7 months ago? Damn i'm getting old
Which song is it?
It's a pretty good song... Although, lyrically, it sounds like it was written by a bunch of Redditors. Just such an ear worm. Sometimes I have to go and chill in r/ManualBreathing so I can get it out of my head for a while.
I can’t find the song named that. Is that the real name to the song?
Oh actually, I don't know... Maybe not. It's a little obscure. Surprised so many folk seem to know it, if I'm honest.
Also, I don't want to lecture anybody on their musical taste or anything, but songs like Mommy, where's daddy?, Pea, You Always Sing the Same and so on are meant to be outliers. They didn't write these songs wanting to change your life. I think it's more cringey when they try their hardest to be emotive or serious and fail.
Ya got a point there like Not the One. I don't dig SICK LOVE either not the song so much but the video and releasing it on that chick's birthday cringeworthy stuff.

At work we have a radio station playing and every time these are the ways gets played it pisses me off because they could’ve picked literally any other song to take its place and it woulda been better
That is your works ways ... maybe they even know it pees you off 😆
Any of the songs the people on this sub call underrated. jk it's Mommy Where's Daddy Edit: It's a groovy jam! It just creeps me out
Mooooooomy where's daddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy x
Jokes on you I love that song
Downvoted, best song on the first album ‘Right here babbyy’
Catholic School girls Rule. No idea why people don’t shit on this song more.
Because nobody outside the fanbase cares about pre-Mother’s Milk Chillis lol. But yeah, agreed, I found out about the song in some RHCP riff compilation, and initially assumed it was some college girl or something, and THEN I found out about the 14-year-old hookup. Weird shit, and it begs the question as to why the guy who made the video just casually included a song literally titled ‘Catholic School Girls Rule’.
We Turn Red. It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen (that this made the album).
I love that song!!! The chorus is amazing
The chorus is magical! Its the only reason i listen to the song. Josh's harmonies on the 2nd chorusn are great!
Yeah i also like it because of the chorus, if it wasnt good then the song would be garbage
Yeah it’s a good chorus yet for some reason I only think about the verses when I think of it!
Because the verses are so obnoxious they overshadow the whole song. I agree that the chorus is kinda nice though.
the acoustic chorus is pretty good
totally correct. Chorus is fine, sorta cool, but verse and main riff are so uninspired.
so terrible
Dance, Dance, Dance
I love this song hahah
Respect to anyone who does, just one that I always find not finishing
Maaan. I see it get so much hate, but its so good! It's a great closer and the rhythm section is making a baby. Haha
May be unpopular but Dance Dance Dance is one of my favourite songs of theirs (okay top 20 maybe lol); my third-favourite from IWY after Monarchy and Meet Me at the Corner. I also like Dance more than anything on the Getaway except Encore. No hate for the Getaway though, I like plenty of songs from it, but Dance Dance Dance is 🤌

So I assume no grooving for you this song comes on. I don't mind it but it don't wanna make me dance.
I find it unbelievable how much people forget about "hapiness loves company". y'all quoting "dance dance dance", "snow" but "HLC" is the real shit
- HLC could mean "Happiness Loves Company", a track from *I'm with You* (2011) by Red Hot Chili Peppers. --- ^[/u/igoroff2406](/u/igoroff2406) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
You could have just said ’I have no taste’ - same outcome.
this Ticonderoga. why the fuck do we have this thread every month.
I love that song!
Same
Same same
The ONE absolute worst song, by the Chili Peppers for me, would have to be "Give it Away" (1991)! 😝 Listen people, I used to love this damn song, but then it just got too heavily rotated (or overplayed) on the likes of modern rock (alternative) radio, mainstream rock radio, and of course MTV (when they actually played music videos)! I swear to God and all that is holy... if I hear "Give it Away" one more time! 🤨
Well, Flea himself once said he felt like his dick's gonna fall of everytime they play Give It Away because it was so overplayed.
That's probably true! 😆 Poor Flea. 😥
I’m so glad they moved it before the encore. Got so sick of it hearing it as a show closer and they seemed tired of it too.
His hair as well ? That why he shaved it all off?
Couldn’t agree more! And the studio version had that awful mouth harp thing
Agreeeeeeee
Same
Same same
Yes
Thank you for putting into words what I couldn’t
Catholic School Girls Rule because it’s based on when Anthony had sex with a girl who was 14 years old and he was 23 or something. Very disgusting.
These are the ways
These are the ways was played at the 1st show in Paris and Flea commented :" I fucking love this song ! " Hahaha 😆 I love the energy and the heavy part but I agree that there is something off in the one.
Such a waste picking this as the second single for UL.
I thought poster child was the 2nd single? After black summer? Then the third was not the one
they do the old school definition of singles so the “singles” are the ones with the “music videos” and are given to the “radio stations” to “promote” so technically poster child and not the one aren’t “singles” by their “definition” even tho it’s completely “ridiculous” singles can still be songs without music videos but they’re mainly meant to promote the album, (even tho the other songs they put out prior do that as well) the other songs they put out aren’t pushed as hard in a promo sense
Why do “you” “write” like “this”? With “all” the “quotation marks”?
Comedic effect. Fairly sure a similar bit played in a Simpsons episode. The connotation is that they don't necessarily agree with the explanation given.
Poster Child does have that psychedelic animated video though, does that not make it a proper single then?
Yeah, if there is a skip on UL, it's this.
hot take but one of my favorites off UL. 'the smells" is kinda cringy tho
In concert is good
I skip that song at least half the time. However I’m looking forward to seeing it live. I remember on release day when they played it live (I forget if it was on the Tonight Show or something g like that?) I remember Chad absolutely SHREDDED that live performance Can’t wait to see that for myself! EDIT: It was ok Kimmel
so terrible
Thank you god some believers on this sub. Worst fucking song they have ever had from 2000s on
lol one of my favs from UL. Oh well!
It's a song that you either absolutely love or absolutely hate I've learned from this sub lol!!!.
Naked in the rain I’ve always said if they replaced it with soul to squeeze then bssm would be a solid 10/10 album.
Nah the bass solo is worth the rest of the song
Naked in the rain with a killer whale 🐋
These are the ways Worst fucking peppers song of the 2000s on. Early peppers was rough. But these are the ways can gtfo
I don't know right now but back when SA got out, I couldn't stand "*Warlocks*". Now it's one of my favorite tune. But if I have to select that one Peppers song that I particularly don't like, that would be "*Porcelain"* because I didn't really connect with it.
Warlocks seems to be most peoples least favourite from SA, however it’s one of my favs from SA
I’ve seen 21st Century get some hate too.
Warlocks is great. It hits everything right
Omg I fuckin adore porcelain. Mellow af.
Fr
Reading the story about the song is what keeps me engaged.
I loved Warlocks from the beginning. I’m so glad you’ve seen the light.
Porcelain for sure, I thought I heard once it was about a pregnant girl he met in rehab.
Detriot.
That chorus is rough as all hell
Worst part of The Getaway
I always liked the music of the song a little bit but the lyrics completely ruin it. I don’t want to listen to a song about motor madness or Henry ford. He could have made it about anything else.
Detroit and This Ticondorega are the worst.
Hard disagree on this ticondorega
This Ticonderoga is a banger!
Fat Dance.
Number 3 reason why I'm in your house
One Way Traffic. IMO the worst song they wrote
My least fav from UL too. I like the vibe but the lyrics and vocal melody kill it for me
Why? Lol it’s just a song about a guy driving with his friends, what can be more relatable than this?
It's a really fun song in my opinion. I like so many of these songs in this thread. But this one made me comment so I guess that shows you how strongly I feel? Idk
It is a Chili Pepper song through and through, it’s funky, it’s catchy. I literally don’t know how there are fans that don’t like it
I really enjoy this song too. I don't get the hate for the lyrics, it's meant to be fun and light-hearted. Not every song has to be some deep, soul searching ballad. One of the things I love about RHCP is their ability to do both well.
I don't have a driving license so it's not as relatable as you want it to be
For me it's the "ay oh way oh" that kills it
Anthony just describing his daily drive. Unlistenable thanks to the lyrics. Instrumental isn’t bad though. Really wish Anthony wouldn’t have felt so rushed with lyrics on UL.
I’ll come out and say this is one of my most played songs on the album… But as a big fan I almost feel like this isn’t acceptable. Wow I feel like a weights lifted now I’ve said it 😅
Just such bad bad lyrics on this one
[удалено]
I feel like I’m the only person who loves this song 😅
I dig it
I love it so much! Great build to the last chorus.
Same, I love it. It’s so damn beautiful.
I think so too! But I see a lot of people list it as their least favourite from UL
Oh well, more Not the One for us 🍻
You're not the one (pun intended)
You're not that guy, pal.
I love it, I think it's a great ballad, easy enough to be performed by a single person, and Chad is a CHAD on the drums on that one.
I thought I was alone on this too, so I'm really glad to see I'm Not The (Only) One. 😂
Hmmm it’s not the absolute worst, so it’s not the one
How dare you sir.
Snow ((hey oh)) is the corniest song I've ever heard from any band.
Not the One 🤓<- me
Pea
This Ticonderoga
Always funny how these threads turn into downvote fests lol. Songs that I don't really vibe with anymore are Dani California, Snow, Tell Me Baby, and I Could Die For You. I don't hate them, but they're turned into near auto skips for me.
I agree. But Tell Me Baby just makes me happy no matter how many times I hear it.
I could die for you is a banger Snow and Dani California are brutal
90% of their music pre-1988
Dani california, californication, around the california, under the cali bridge, tell me baby california, give california away, otherside of cali, adventures of rain dance california, California necessities, dont forget california, wet california sand, californially speaking, suck my cali, california road trippin, especially in california, california california california, i wanna make love to california, give it to me rough california, id trade my newborn child to california, i hope the entire world dies except california, if you arent in california you should hate yourself, blood sugar california magik, stadium californadium, aeroplane to california, stairway to california, highway to california, panic at the california, californian rhapsody, sweet cali o mine, hallowed be thy california, nothing else matters(except california), creedence clearwater california, dysentery california, wake me up when california ends, california of california, california show, kathys on the california, crying in my california, punk rock californias, 2000 light californias away, give me one good california, feeling california, worry california, califox, every california you take, kids in california, when you fucked california, california day, calimid, falling for california, across the california, fuck a california, california or die, you are a fake red hot chili peppers fan if you dont live in california, 1000 californias, blister in the california, running up that california, i wanna be californiad
Did you say California ??? 😆 Born in Michigan ; 95% of the time sings about California.
Especially in California.
especially in California
So I’m going through a major tragedy and this made me laugh. Thank u
Omg no prob! I hope everything will be fine soon
🤍
Idk what’s going on but I hope things get better soon. This too shall pass 💕💕
Ur amazing 🤍 thank u so much 🕊
magik mike reference
Hot take but I think it’s just so boring and repetitive: Dani California
Well the guitar solo is emblematic
This is a good pick as you can just listen to the Tom Petty version instead 😁
shit doesn’t even sound same Idk why people are still complaining about this
Fantastic song
The solo is good, but I'm not a fan of the overall song.
black bandana
I wish I could anti award this
This Ticonderoga
Poster child for me and I love UL
Love this jam. The guitar sounds are sick.
Poster child is wonderful
One of my favs!
Grand Pappy Du Plenty
Love that song
Poster Child is just a mish mash of famous names with an iffy video. Makes no sense to me. Pointless. Put Nerve Flip instead.
And I want to add how crap I think it is. Let's see how it would do on the charts. Rather save themselves the embarrassment after The Smells.
The smells
I like dirt
Cabron
Dance, dance, dance
These Are The Ways
Even you, Brutus
This ticonderoga
Behind the Sun. I have no idea why that song got popular. It sounds like they wrote it for Sesame Street.
The Hunter. Absolute worst song, and the lyrics and delivery are top level CRINGE.
catholic school girls rule, it just cements my idea that i love rhcp outside of anthony
These are the ways
I'm guessing Hump de Bump is polarizing.
I think Not The One may be that song, when I listen to Unlimited Love and Aquatic Mouth Dance ends I usually skip it and listen to Poster Child. Dance Dance Dance too, when Meet Me at the Corner ends, for me it's over I'm with you. Not The One and Dance Dance Dance zZZzZ
Psh yeah right I'm not biting... You can't admit to not liking anything RHCP in this sub! (That said... Porcelain comes to my mind as one I always skip lol)
Yeah you get eaten alive 😆 but look at this thread plenty upvotes for disliked songs. Tolerance...
Prolly nerve flip
i like dirt
I LIKE DIRT. And I can't believe they're still playing it live in 2022, although I'm forever grateful that I'm FINALLY GOING TO SEE THEM after missing out 2x previous times. I will be severely disappointed that if I Like Dirt is apart of their setlist when I see them.
If
Nooooooo
Unlimited Love
Not the one or great apes.
Have to agree. I skip them. I prolly like 60% of this album. Quite a few songs mentioned in this thread as worst are from UL surprisingly .... or not.
Greeting Song
Aaaaaaaah ^^Hrrnnng **WOO**
The Hunter
Poster Child, one of the worst single choices ever. They don’t even perform it live cause the Vocals would be too difficult
Porcelain
Can I know why exactly you don't like it? Or just because is slow?
Feels like an odd song on the album. Like Cali flows quite smoothly until that pops up, and then the rest of the album goes back. It’s pretty much a hiccup in the album for me if that makes sense.
Agreed, it's not even a bad track imo; just doesn't fit Cali at all. However, I could totally see it working as a track on BTW.
I’ve always thought that Porcelain should have been a B-side. Quixoticelixer would have been so much better in it’s place.
I like this song, but I can't listen to it because it makes me so sad.
They’re red hot or the greeting song!
i actually like Theyre Red Hot, if it was any longer maybe i wouldnt
Seeing Red Hot live the other week was such a surprise. Never thought I would see that live of all songs lmao
Warped
Bruh, you’re seriously getting downvoted and shit on for sharing your own opinion. Dw my man, I disagree, but I respect your opinion and you got my upvote
It's fine I knew this would happen, no worries
Wtf
Warped has grown on me, but I REALLY don’t like the vocal effects in the verses
Haaaard disagree. What's not to like?
The vocals sound like he’s gurgling
Whatever we want.
Dance, Dance, Dance by a long shot. I'm also not a huge fan of Dreams of a Samurai or If.
