When I was a student hanging out in the only pub that would serve us (we were all marginally underage) that track would be played at least once every hour on the jukebox.
I've not listened to it in its entirety for about 30 years.
I moved to LA in 1999. The radio station was playing RHCP non-stop. I moved away. I moved back in 2001. And it was the same playlist. And it has been the same RHCP playlist for the past 24 years. Even the LA Olympics sneak peak? They brought out the RHCP. STOP TRYING TO MAKE THE RHCP HAPPEN!
I think they just chuck a bunch of random words into a hat, then pull them out one at a time and sing them in that order.
That or they wanted to find out if people would still buy their music even if it made no sense at all.
Reminds me of The Good Place scene where Micheal is asking Eleanor questions to see if she belongs in hell and one is "Have you ever paid money to hear music performed by California funk rock band "The Red Hot Chili Peppers"?
Best line i ever heard about them was from some comedian, might have ben Bill Burr::
"You know how when you turn on a radio station and your first response is to immediately say 'What the fuck is this terrible shit??' Somehow it's always the Red Hot Chili Peppers."
Last Christmas my parents insisted on me staying with them despite me wanting to get a hotel. While cooking a meal she knew I couldn’t eat, my stepmom put on RHCP. I chewed my tongue.
Dad: we’ve been getting into these guys lately, have you ever listened to them?
Me: yes, unfortunately
I am going to stick up for Blood Sugar Sex Magic, but utterly condemn everything since then. Californication was one of the first worst songs that came to mind. But that is compounded by how great BSSM is.

I think it’s call A Dinga Dippy Doo Dang California.

Also could be that my ex loved the Blood Sugar… album.
