Lyrics:
Gettin' born in the state of Mississippi
Papa was a copper and mama was a hippie
In Alabama she would swing a hammer
Price you gotta pay when you pick the panorama
She never knew that there was anything more than poor
What in the world? What does your company take me for?

Black bandana, sweet Louisiana
Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana
She's a runner, rebel and a stunner
Oh her merry way sayin' baby whatcha gonna
Lookin' down the barrel of a hot metal forty five
Just another way to survive

[Chorus:]
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 coming 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

[Chorus]

Who knew the other side of you?
Who knew what others died to prove?
Too true to say good bye 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...

    The fact that the segments from different decades were actually filmed with cameras from those times makes this even better.
  • @RoostyNY
    This was my favorite music video as a kid . I remember just being so fascinated with the changes in clothes and style with each era
  • What a band; Vocals: Iggy Pop Guitar: Jesus Bass: Wayne Rooney Drums: Will Ferrell
  • On this day in 2006, the music video for “Dani California” was released. Directed by Tony Kaye.
  • You know that you have great musical taste when you can recognise every band in the song
  • @avelinaliceaga
    Anthony's voice in the chorus has a hint of melancholy that really gets me. Love this.
  • @adrybarry3230
    I saw this video in 2013 on vh1... Since that day, i fell in love with music, strats, and obviously with Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • People don't even realize that RHCP is the greatest band to ever exist.
  • @LordGamesHD
    At 2:55 when Anthony says "gone too fast" and it shows what is supposed to be Nirvana/Kurt :(
  • @HeyThereJeremy
    Their Red Hot Chili Pepper's impersonation was pretty spot on.

    I realized that this is my favorite song. The video and vibes of the song are just perfect. Been listening to this since it came out when I was in high school. Always start my workouts with it.
  • @shelby7197
    The Nirvana bit was perfect. “It only hurts when I laugh/Gone too fast” is a very Cobain-esque lyric
  • @renelongoria701
    Dressed as Kurt Cobain as he sings " gone too fast " sends chills!
  • @most-hated-54

  • @isaachouston6207
    This song will NEVER get old! Also anyone else think that RHCP look amazing in any look? They loom the best when they dress up lile Bowie.
