The song was a surprise success for the band peaking at #1 on the Alternative Songs chart, #7 on the Mainstream Rock, and #26 on the Mainstream Top 40.
Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman, Anthony Kiedis, wrote this song about his struggle with addiction from an early age. Seems kinda heavy for a comedy soundtrack.
The video features the band members playing “freaks” and makes references to coneheads and SNL’s Chris Farley makes a cameo.
