Hollywood (Africa) (The Meters cover) Lyrics
Take me back
Hold my hand
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Take me back
And my funky ass band
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hollywood
I want to get up and go
With my funky ass jams
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Hollywood
Where the women
Is the women
And the man
Is the man
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hold my hand
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
And my funky ass band
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hollywood
With my funky ass jams
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Where the women
Is the women
And the man
Is the man
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children

A great funk song, a great cover, a great concept, and a perfectly put together masterpeice. It's a cover from The Meters song "Africa".
Man, I didn't know it was a cover! Just downloaded the song, it isn't very good.. at least not as good as the Reds version. I just have to say it: Red Hot Chili Peppers is the world's greatest cover-band! (Hollywood, Fire, Yertle the Turtle, If You Want Me To Stay, Higher Ground, They're Red Hot...)
and Subterranean Homesick Blues.
and Subterranean Homesick Blues.
honestly, while I love the chili peppers and they're music, they are NOWHERE and I mean NOWHERE near the quality of Hendrix, or stevie wonder, and they masacred theose songs, while chili-ifying them.
hey! I think they are just as incredible as my man Jimmi and my homie G Stevie. All miricle workers.
jimi. not jimmi.
its a cover of the meters song "Africa" and (at the reccomendation of George Clinton - of Parliament Funkadelic) is about the chili peppers' Africa - Hollywood
the meteres are a black band and chili pepeprs are white the meters made this song to say that their proud of being afracian and rhcp made it into being proud to live in hollywood with the help of george clition as if it wasnt for him they wouldnt have knowen who they were
AK spent ages worryin abotu this and practiced it all weekend befor he recorede it tis great! love it !
love this song love the trumpet love their love for their home
oh yea ... what are they saying when they go.. ploi ploi ploi ploi ploi... is that the sound they make? i really wanna know!!
