Cover art for Dani California lyrics by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Does anyone know what the backing vocals (I assume its John) are singing in the very last chorus? After every line you can hear the backing vocals echoing something, and it sounds really cool, I wanna know what is being said

Great song though, for real. I love Anthony's lyrics, how they all seem so abstract but you can always tell there is meaning in them. And Flea and John compliment each other so well, especially in the solo at the end of the song.

Oh my God. Yes! The hidden vocals in the last chorus! That makes the song! I am anxious for that part. It truly sounds like the finale, you know what I mean? I think its saying "Down with California" but I had to search it up. I saw an interview with Frusciante and he was talking about the backing vocals and guitar. He was saying: "doo doo doo de doo" while he was playing, but I highly doubt that's it. Reply back!

Okay. I listened closely. t sounds like: "donna si dona" then "ooh, california!" Thats what I got(:

until you mentioned it I'd never noticed that at all - I bet it's some swear words or something - quite often a crafty way of swear words getting played on radio - EMF did that trick with Unbelievable.
