Fire by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Fire
by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Well alright, now dig this

You don't care for me I don't care about that
You got a new fool hah I like it like that
I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love with your fire?

Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire oh yeah

Now listen to this baby
And stop acting so crazy

You say your mom ain't home ain't my concern
Just don't play with me and you won't get burned
I have only one burning desire
Oh, I'm gonna, me, do it in your fire

Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire oh yeah

Oh move over over,
And let Mr. Huckleberry take over,
You know he's bad, you know he drowns,
You know who he gives it to, yeah

That's right, now dig this

You try to give me your money you better save it babe
Save it for your rainy day I have only one burning desire
Oh, can I make love over your fire?

Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire (funky funky fire)
Let me stand next to your fire

You better slide you ass over, girl
'Cause I'm coming through once and I'm coming the way you must be

Flea was on EVERY type of drug that night.

Vibrantdragon312

All the band was clear in that time

Tim Reese

@esquibelle so u think we will all buy more rhcp stuff if we think flea is still getting high? I dont understand ur logic. I'd be a fan of them if they were still getting high or not 🤷‍♂️ I enjoy their music, dgaf about their person lives. But flea and Anthony both were big in AA and NA and if they say they are sober then who am I so say they arent? I'm not gunna be the one to bash anyone on their sobriety unless I have facts about it which so far the only thing that's out their is pointing to sobriety. 🤓🤔

esquibelle

@Tim Reese I lived next door to Michael for years until I moved out of California in 2014 - It's hilarous how all he people on the internet believe all the publicity carefully planted by highly paid publicists & PR firms. Truly cracks me up how all you people fall for it & think all the PR is the "gospel truth" & that you have "special information" & fight with each other about how you have the "truth". It's freaking hilarious --- but I guess it's worth the money because then people will buy more copies of the very, very very truthful "biography" LOL

Tim Reese

@esquibelle u obviously dont know anything about the chili peppers or flea lol. His sobriety is literally a google away and so his Anthony keidis' or maybe pick up and read one of their books before u try and act like u know everything 🤷‍♂️

Chad is on fire! No pun intended.

He's the only one who does this song justice in every performance i've seen so far, although Flea's pretty tight too, but Chad is the standout.

They got lambasted for playing this. They did not do so to egg on the crowd, they played it at the behest of Jimi's stepsister, who wanted them to play it in honor of 30 years since Jimi performed at Woodstock...

James Gerrard

@dave barnett getting ripped off for water and no shade at an outdoor festival? REALLY?? THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

I think the whole Jimi Hendrix relative asking them to play a song is bullshit. They had been covering Fire for years.. Flea has Hendrix tattooed on his arm. It's not like it just occurred to them to play Fire. Think that was some made up shit as the years passed. Who cares.. that festival was fucked anyways at that point.

Fucking epic song choice. Really tying the crowd energy and stage energy together.

@Whisky Warlord when a person is right, he is kinda right, but in all sense I see why you ask what's wrong with him, cause images like that can be burned in the mind of youths, but on the other hand would youths only burn it in cause we shame it? I mean, no I wouldn't want my kid around real naked people, but if this video was the case I'd still let them watch it cause he plays the bass, not with himself. Difference between porno and archives. The Bible has nudity in it, so go burn it before your kids read it

The Chlli Willies should have had the decency to stop playing and tell the crowd to stop destroying things instead of endangering everyone by continuing to play aggressively. I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers twenty five years ago and drove in a blizzard to see them (they should have canceled the show) and they only played for an hour. I left the show driving home in the blizzard passing cars that were stuck all over the place extremely disappointed. I wouldn't buy any more of their music for years after that shitty concert.
