Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock. Live, they incorporate many aspects of jam rock due to the improvised nature of much of their performances. Currently, the band consists of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009, following the departure of John Frusciante. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 80 million albums worldwide. In 2012 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. more »

You wanna beat it, but you're never gonna leave this town
In the jungle with a fever comes immediate crown
I'm alone with all my friends, fireworks in a pussy den
Shakin' up that new West End, don't get too close, my style bends
I'ma do my thing this time, Hudson River serpentine
Everything we overheard, pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for

The beat is tricky, but you're never gonna move it around
You're dressin' up when you really should be dressin' down
Gettin' on my one last nerve, ring my bell on Dead Man's Curve
Pick it up, Jamaica, Queens, that super walk is so obscene
Gonna do your thing this time, East Side River, box of wine
Throw it up, it's time to serve, pizza's free on thirty-third and third, third, third

(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for

You wanna beat it, but you're never gonna leave this town
You're dressin' up, you really should be dressin' down
In the jungle, fever comes immediate crown

(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
At the Latin quarter, trouble funk is on the floor, oh, my children
(Don't you love me, baby?) The shape I'm takin'
Jungle at the disco, jungle's what they came here for
