[Verse 1]
Everybody knows about Hollywood skunks
Soulfull sex and funky monks
My Tinseltown is made of steel
Let's whimp, let's shout, let's make a deal !
Hollywood and Hollywood not
We are so lively on the spot
Feel so alive, don't know where to stop
Are you def or dumb or what?!

[Chorus 1]
Silly little creature, Sikamikanico
Sitting on a bleacher, Sikamikanico
I don't want a teacher, Sikamikanico
If we're going to reach ya, Sikamikanico

[Verse 2]
Don't you know about Frank Sinatra
That's all gone because I got up
We don't just play, we display
Got to give it up, gotta do it my way
Shooting my sex upto the cave
You might receive my radio wave
Shake it girl, you won't get hurt
I knock my dick into the dirt

[Chorus 1]
Silly little creature, Sikamikanico
Sitting on a bleacher, Sikamikanico
I don't want a teacher, Sikamikanico
If we're going to reach ya, Sikamikanico

[Chorus 2]
Anybody want some, Sikamikanico
Everybody on the run, Sikamikanico
Rock it more breeza, Sikamikanico
If we're going to treasure, Sikamikanico

[Bridge]
Hey, Ho, Let's go
Mother Fucker, wanna be a gigolo
Let me demolo how it goes
Under ho sittin' on my big toe
Hey Joe, a radio chump
I'll never going to overcome in Hollywood, I'll come alone
Oh no, it would now leave my nose that you blow
Hey ho, let's go

[Verse 3]
So big boy say you want bad news
We doubt our mama's been confused
It's plaing to see we rock the groove
If you don't like it, time to move
And all the press, you don't amaze me
I'm not your dick so don't appraise me
Never going to fit your critical shit
You better watch out, you might get hit

[Chorus 1]
Silly little creature, Sikamikanico
Sitting on a bleacher, Sikamikanico
I don't want a teacher, Sikamikanico
If we're going to reach ya, Sikamikanico

[Chorus 2]
Anybody want some, Sikamikanico
Everybody on the run, Sikamikanico
Rock it more breeza, Sikamikanico
If we're going to treasure, Sikamikanico

Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Ah!

Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a rock band based in Los Angeles, CA that incorporates elements of rap, funk, punk, and rock into their work, mainly classified as an alternative rock band. They made it mainstream off the success of their 1991’s fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, led by singles “Give it Away” and “Under the Bridge.” After losing guitarist John Frusciante and losing popularity following the release of the less successful One Hot Minute, the band reunited for 1999’s Californication. The title track and hit singles “Around the World,” “Scar Tissue” and “Otherside” propelled them back to the fame. After 2002’s solid release By the Way and 2006’s double-disc Stadium Arcadium, Frusciante once again left the band to further pursue his solo career. The band added Josh Klinghoffer to help fill his void, and released I’m With You in 2011.

In December 2019, the band announced via Instagram that Klinghoffer had left after 10 years, and Frusciante would be rejoining.

Their lyrical content was mostly centered around sex, drugs, and the Los Angeles lifestyle, and lead singer Anthony Kiedis mostly rapped them as he wasn’t confident as vocalist. Most members of the band also suffered from drug addiction, as Kiedis and Frusciante had to check themselves into rehab for heroin addiction at various points in their lives. But Californication marked a change in the band’s content matter and lifestyle. The band was sober for the most part, and the lyrics had shifted to songs about love and the pains of addiction, the title even criticized the city they loved so much. In addition, Kiedis had started to sing his lyrics much more often as he finally felt comfortable with his voice. That change has allowed the band to stick around for over 20 years despite multiple changes to their lineup and is part of why they remain relevant.
