BY THE WAY
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
RED HOT Chili Peppers' 1999 album Californication sold 15 million copies, rescuing their career and reestablishing them as one of the world's biggest rock bands. Naturally, the first single off their follow-up full-length needed to be an absolute cracker. The Chilis rose to the task magnificently with By The Way, a song that spent seven weeks at Number One on the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Lyrically it speaks of a girl named Dani, and as such is reputedly part two in a trilogy of songs that first referenced her in Californication's title-track and then later in the single Dani California on 2006's Stadium Arcadium.

DANI CALIFORNIA
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS
AFTER THE troubled sessions for 2002's By The Way. Red Hot Chili Peppers returned with a sprawling double album of even sprawlier guitars. This was the collection's lead single, a simple, chugging ditty complete with explosive chorus and. of course, plenty of guitars. Written in celebration of singer Anthony Kiedis' former conquests, it sounded to some listeners' ears unfortunately similar to Tom Petty's 1994 hit Mary Jane's Last Dance - though the ever affable Mr Petty let the undoubtedly accidental resemblance go as the song clambered into Top 10s around the world and earned two Grammies.
