Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California (lyrics)

[@MomirViggwilv]

I think Dani California is one of the most American songs ever written. A story of poverty and violence and struggle, and the bittersweet love that blooms in those conditions.

[@chrisdraughn5941]

Yeah, this song makes me think of a re-booted Bonnie & Clyde…. Not unlike Noah’s Ark reminds me of my dad, who’d come home drunk, smack my mom, turn our house upside down, and then show up with flowers the next day like nothing happened. God sends this massive flood, wipes out almost everything, and then puts up a rainbow like it’s supposed to fix everything. It’s messed up, you know? At least my dad didn’t drown the whole neighborhood… so there’s that… but the rainbow didn’t really end anything… God is reportedly coming back and next time, he’s not only putting his first through the drywall, he’s bringing fire too…. Why do people say this is a god of love? Maybe in the trailer park where Dani California escaped from, that’s love?

The guitar lines are so good and when the instruments meet up the sound is amazing . The use of the different guitar effects is clever. Example the intro to the main guitar lead.

[@evanhalsey1844]

This is an awesome song, and one of my favorites by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I remember when I heard this song at a hotel casino in Las Vegas awhile back while vacationing out west. Totally appropriate for that culture.

[@K1NG0FW0LV35]

The beat is so uplifting but the story is so sad... Rip Dani California.

[@imawalkingcxrpse]

One of the first rock songs I ever listened to growing up thanks to my sister and RockBand. This song, and a few more, are what sparked my love for rock, metal, and music the instruments as a whole. 😊

[@michaelolmsted6257]

Really fun song to play on rock band. :)

[@RobertoZadik-en8zc]

Brilliant, fresh and intense Red Hot good song with a special guitar part and the usual charisma of the singer Anthony Kiedis. Great stuff

[@SonicNinja6600]

Me and my brother would put on VH1 and MTV back in 2005 to help us get up for high school and this would play. Such a banger.

[@theskullinside666]

Dude same!! But I was in middle school! 😂 But VH1 was a guilty pleasure of mine to rock out to as a kid!

[@georgetzanellis]

Every time I listen to this song all my stress and angziety from starting highschool flot away like they were never their in the first place, so a huge thank you to the awesome band Red Hot Chillie Peppers

[@edg2773]

Someone told Tom Petty, "Hey, that sounds just like your song Mary Jane's Last Dance. You should sue!" Tom, being the class act he was, said, "I'm not gonna sue. There's no negative intent and besides, a lot of rock songs sound alike."

[@MisterSG1]

That’s the same Tom Petty who sued Sam Smith for the similarities of “Stay With Me” to “I Won’t Back Down” I think with this song, the main chords are very common in a rock songs, isn’t this same chord pattern in “Sweet Home Alabama” which “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” also sounds kind of like?

[@josephscatorchio9279]

Straight from Google. Truth

[@edg2773]

@@MisterSG1 No. According to Rolling Stone magazine: Most times you catch it before it gets out the studio door but in this case it got by. Sam's people were very understanding of our predicament and we easily came to an agreement. “The word lawsuit was never even said and was never my intention. And no more was to be said about it,” Petty continued.

"Dani California" Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi Poppa was a copper and her momma was a hippie In Alabama, she would swing a hammer Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama She never knew that there was anything more than poor What in the world, what does your company take me for? Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She's a runner, rebel and a stunner On her merry way sayin', "Baby, what you gonna-?" Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal .45 Just another way to survive California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah She's a lover, baby and a fighter Shoulda seen her comin' when it got a little brighter With a name like Dani California Day was gonna come when I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded, she was stealin' another breath I love my baby to death California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah Who knew the other side of you? Who knew what others died to prove? Too true to say goodbye to you Too true to say, say, say Push the fader, gifted animator One for the now and eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man was a gunnin' for the quota Down in the Badlands, she was savin' the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah California, rest in peace (Do svidaniya) Simultaneous release (California) California, show your teeth (Do svidaniya) She's my priestess, I'm your priest, yeah, yeah 😎😎😎😎
