  3. Scott says:

    Alabama baby said hallelujah, good doctor wish i knew ya

  4. Kevin says:

    Dani California:

    Black bandana sweet LOUISIANA
    Robbin on a bank in the state of INDIANA

    Never made it up to MINNESOTA
    NORTH DAKOTA man was a gunnin for tha quota

    There’s 4 you missed

  5. airportmonkey says:

    minor graph fail.

  6. villy says:

    Would’ve been more amusing if it had been correct.

    Research, man, RESEARCH!

  7. Amazing says:

    Uh, which song has Florida?

    Also, does “Honalee” count as a state?

  8. John says:

    did they make one about Wisconsin?

  9. LHLD says:

    to be proper, the title -does- phrase it in a way that the song is actually about a state – not that a state is merely mentioned in the song.

  10. Webby says:

    super fail

  11. cinbinmauz says:

    LHLD makes a very important point which renders this graph correct.

    • Gordon Freeman says:

      “Especially In Michigan” is a SONG off of Stadium Arcadium. So LHLD is still wrong.

    • svenk91 says:

      Dani California is about a girl, Californication is about a certain livelstyle/vision more then the state itself I believe. And especially in Michigan clearly mentions a state itself. Also it would be fun for a graph like this if it would be made by someone who knows the songs then just someoene who has seen 2 titles with california in it.

      • stuff says:

        amen

      • nate says:

        everything in “especially in michigan” is about michigan. anthony keidis was born and spent his first eight years there (here), and i heard somewhere one of the other members (flea?) also grew up there…can’t find that bit anywhere. besides the “jupiter” disc of stadium arcadium…i can’t think of any florida references, and that’s still a stretch.

  12. Nathan says:

    i think you should have written “other” instead of “Florida”, but i liked the graph anyways

  13. fernando says:

    they wrote so many songs about michigan, seriously. graph fail if you allow me the expression.

  14. Maisie says:

    I don’t care WHAT state they write about, I just wish they’d go back to writing decent songs instead of the band being bored while Anthony Kiedis waffles on in rhyming couplets he’s apparently written using the “pin-and-dictionary” technique *sigh*

  15. Chewbacca314 says:

    They have a song about Florida?

  16. STRiPES says:

    Hey, hey
    We all know that it’s not the ONLY thing that they write about but it SEEMS like it.
    It’s a GraphJam ppl, it’s an EXAGGERATiON
    So chill the hell out!!

    • Dukie says:

      The point is that it would be funnier if they included all the states that they actually do sing about and not the states that they don’t.

  17. Loot says:

    No one’s mentioned this one yet.

    Around the World:

    “Born in the north and swore to entertain ya
    ’cause I’m down from the state of Pennsylvania.”

    • TCoop says:

      Thank you! I’m sorry, but this graph should be re-done to include all states included by TRHCP. However, I will grant the creator the fact that their two most popular songs are about California.

      • Get it right says:

        If you’re going to criticize a graph for being inaccurate, then you should be accurate. Its the RHCP or just RHCP. don’t capitalize the ‘t’.

  18. Cucuto89 says:

    Especially in Michigan much?

  19. mark says:

    Epic. Effin’. Fail.

    Dude, like EVERY state shows up in an RHCP song at some point.

  20. Rich C says:

    terrible graph…florida is in no songs, should be taken down and corrected…and 2 wouldnt be so largely represented…its just stupid

  21. Chels says:

    yeah man, what about Michigan???

  22. villy says:

    I do believe the point has been made that Especially in Michigan is a song.

    I don’t think anyone else needs to point it out, but I suppose I could be mistaken.

    So… on that note…

    Especially in Michigan is a SONG! Oh Em Gee!!!!!11111oneoneone

  23. plaster says:

    Led Hot Lilly Peppels

  24. benjamin says:

    Its sounds like almost of you guys are main-stream listeners. To the poster, you obviously haven’t listened any of their previous music. It sounds like the extent of your Chili Peppers collection begin with the Califiornication release. and even then, the first track, “Around the world” is just that! I don’t even think they’ve even made reference to Florida in any track they released.

  25. Destin says:

    How about they just stop talking about states?

    • Geezus says:

      I can’t think of the name off the top of my head, but on Blood Sugar Sex Magik (track 13 if I remember) there’s a song set in New Orleans.

      It’s about a girl, but most of their California referencing stuff isn’t necessarily about the state.

      Fail graph

      • Just Me says:

        Yep. The opening lyrics to the song-

        Sittin’ on a sack of beans
        Sittin’ down in New Orleans
        You wouldn’t believe what I’ve seen
        Sitting on that sack of beans

        He mentions it a few more times too. I love that song!
        Lunatics on pogo sticks ftw!

  26. Sherlock says:

    all around the world.

    wisconsin, pennsylvania, etc… along with many countries.

    research, my dear watson.

  27. Douche Bagalow says:

    “Dani California” IS ABOUT A WOMAN!!!!!
    Having said that, they write some of their songs about California because THEY’RE( grammar win) FROM CALIFORNIA! Imagine that! Ever heard the phrase “write what you know”? Sheesh!
    Ever feel sometimes like you’re (yet another grammar win) the only smart person left???

  28. Bassplaya says:

    Out of country?

    Israel and Australia (Organic Anti-Beat Box Band)

    Cuba? (Havana Affair)

  29. Ali says:

    Lions and Tigers come running just to steal your luck. (Sports teams)

    A mitten full of fisherman / Down on the farm, we’ll be swimming with a mother duck deep in the mitten where… (Mitten reference – Michigan)

    =D

  31. Ruman says:

    “Around the World” lists pennsylvania, california, alabama, and wisconsin

  32. FungusMonk says:

    Michigan.

  33. Dukie says:

    This graph is disgraceful and should be corrected immediately. North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Alabama, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Not-Florida should be mentioned. Where did you even get Florida from?

  34. Trout says:

    Indiana was as well
