Fire (Jimi Hendrix cover) Lyrics
Now dig this!
You got a new fool Hah! I like it like that
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love with your fire?
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah,
And stop acting so crazy
Just don't play with me And you won't get burned
I have only one burning desire
Oh, I'm gonna, me, do it in your fire
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh, funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Oh yeah,
And let Mr Huckleberry take over,
You know he's bad, you know he drowns,
You know who he gives it to, yeah!
Now dig this!
You better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love over your fire?
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Funky funky fire,
Let me stand next to your fire
Let me stand next to your fire
Cause I'm coming through once
And I'm coming the way you must be

Great Hendrix cover, with a double funky fresh force :p
this song is weird, and wonderful, and weird. awesome song
i think they do a way better job than hendrix. chili peppers kick ass!
this is one of the most happy, energetic songs that i know. you can't listen to this song and not smile.
once, the chili peppers were playing at woodstock, and they played fire to honor jimi hendrix who had recently died, and they were accused of egging on people who coincedently had started a huge fire that night
just thought some of you might be interested
i gotta say, i prefer this version to hendrix's version, i mean yea, hendrix is a god, but on his version, he's dominated by the drums, and it isnt as upbeat and funky, which is the best thing about this version.
Chili peppers-one of the only bands to do more then one successful jimi hendrix cover!!! give them knighthods... or whatever the american version is...
Hey RCHP24 The chili's did a cover of 'Fire' originally i think on either abbey road EP or Mothers Milk (1989). This could have been a tribute to one of the greatest guitarists ever but it was never shortly after his death because Hendrix died in 1970. Anthony and Flea would have both been 8 at the time and chili peppers only officially started in 1983 - 13 years after Hendrix's death. You were right about the fans starting a fire during woodstock but it was only in 1999 - 29 years after Hendrix was dead and they started a fire when they played under the bridge because they all got free candles.
So in short its a cover originally done by Jimi Hendrix but it was a wicked sick cover (still not as good as the original i reckon)
