Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Greeting Song Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Despite its catchy melody, "The Greeting Song" has received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. Anthony Kiedis, the band's lead vocalist, has expressed that he was not particularly fond of the song, describing it as somewhat generic and a product of external pressure to write about typical themes like "girls and cars." Nevertheless, it remains a popular track among fans, accumulating over 11 million streams on Spotify as of January 2025. The song's energetic vibe continues to make it a staple in the band's live performances.
Song lyrics
Drivin' around, I've got my baby and my top down
Mary-go-round I ride you for my love
Throwin' me down in the backseat underground
I'm on the mound I make it for my love
Makin' my way, I break another L.A. day
Time in the town I need it for my love
My Chevrolet rollin' to another play day
This is the sound I listen for my love
Who you talking to? Talk to me, you
Sound of music
Who you talking to? Talk to me, you
Sound of music
I love you, swim through me
Good feelings, come to me
Sought and I found a life of making my blood-sound
Do anything for the one I love
Something profound, the face of God is in Sensurround
I'm on the mound I make it for my love
Who you talking to? Talk to me, you
Sound of music
Who you talking to? Talk to me, you
Sound of music
I love you, swim through me
Good feelings, come to me
I love you, swim through me
Good feelings, come to me
I love you, swim through me
Good feelings, come to me
