This song to me is a healthy mix between the old peppers and the new peppers. Sure it has its Flea bass lines which might remind people of "Behind the Sun" or "Higher Ground." It has the famous Kiedis lyrics that continually walk the line between enlightenment and obscurity. Chad's drum remind me of Iron's Drums from The Uplift Mofo Party Plan--Subterranean Homesick Blues or Skinny Sweaty Man. They have a synthy feel and sound. I think Josh is a great replacement for John. He has already played with the peppers so he knows how they are going to work. I have a feeling that if anyone else would have started playing with them would have been lost in the ether. The guitar does not lead this song. It plays second (and maybe even third) to original members Anthony and Flea.
I think this is what the song is about. It is the peppers acknowledging and honoring their past. They are saluting what they have done and thanking their fans for coming with them for such a long time.
"Tic-toc, I want to rock you like the 80s"-----Peppers start in 80s.
"Cock-blocking isn't allowed.
Tug boat sheila is into memorabilia"
and
"Little did I know her body was one delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit"-----Thanks to Anthony for being a perpetual sexual being.
"Hey now
I want to rock this valley crowd
She told me to"------Here you go fans. This is a song for you.
