Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie
Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lipstick junkie
Debunked the all in one
She came back wearing a smile

Looking like someone drugged me
That wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
Well then we go uh huh huh oh

Tick-tock I want to rock you
Like the 80s
Cock blocking isn't allowed

Tugboat Sheila is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd
We better get it on the go

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

Rain dance Maggie
Advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods

Little did I know
Her body was one
Delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

We've got the wrong girl
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone girl

Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said hey now
I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
'Cause I'll be gone bye bye bye yeah
Bye bye bye girl

Bye bye girl




Bye bye girl
Bye bye

Can we just take a minute to appreciate the fact that this band has been able to not only remain relevant for nearly 40 years but also managed to genuinely connect with every new generation that's come since they first formed back in '84 and continues to make genuine good quality music that fits into the world as it evolves around them without becoming repetitive or selling out. I honestly cannot think of a single other example of a band doing that except potentially the Beatles but even then they still don't quite match the feat RHCP has pulled off by still being important in todays environment. It's honestly incredible.

@shawushkafromhattusa5529

No. Because it's not true. Their last good record was BSSM, then they became flat radio friendly mainstream.

@daltonevans3412

@Shawushka from Hattusa that's according to you. They still have countless fans that love their new work, myself included.

@shawushkafromhattusa5529

@Dalton evans I'm not questioning the number of their fans. I'm saying they haven't brought musically anything new since BSSM. And yes, I do know their work from The RHCP to The Getaway.
