Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
Its Californication
It's the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it settles in a final location
It's understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication
Pay your surgeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is it war your waging
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Marry me girl be the fairy to my world
Be my very won constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And but me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
Space may be the final frontier
But it's made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon's not far away
It's Californication
Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody's been there and
I don't mean on vacation
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication
Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl's guitar
They are just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn't save the world
From Califonication
Pay your sugeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Sicker then the rest
There is no test
But this is what you're craving
First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
Dream of Californication
红辣椒乐队
“红辣椒”乐队在2002年的全新专辑《By The Way》中，就已经显示出向“主流”靠近的倾向。其实，仅仅凭借他们早年的两张专辑《Blood Sugar Sex Magik》和《Californication》，就已无人可以动摇“红辣椒”在Funk-Metal领域中“大师级”的地位，特别是贝斯Flea一手娴熟的勾击弦技艺，也只有“Primus”乐队的Les Claypool能与其相提并论。
此张最新出版的精选辑中，收录了从1989年的专辑《Mother\'s Milk》到《By the Way》中所有抒情的曲目。虽然精选辑中并没有涉及到“红辣椒”前三张专辑《Red Hot Chili Peppers》、《Freaky Styley》和《The Uplift Mofo Party Plan》中的作品，但此张精选辑却可以让你全面地审视“红辣椒”柔美、抒情的一面。开篇曲《Under The Bridge》是“红辣椒”特意献给早期吉他手Hillel Slovak一首伤感的歌曲，Slovak因吸毒过量于1988年故去，歌曲前半部分吉他分解和弦与“切分”扫弦的对比，结尾处女声合唱的铺底，无不在暗示着人生分分合合的境遇。歌曲《Californication》中，主唱Anthony Kiedis的表现极为出色，乐句结尾处其标志性的下滑音，绝对会令你动容。精选辑中的两首新歌《Fortune Faded》和《Save The Population》有着能与“红辣椒”先前所有作品比拟的水准，简单的音乐动机，勾勒出“红辣椒”此时的心境。
