Charlie

Lead singer Anthony Kiedis (from Rolling Stone, June 15, 2006): "That has a lot of stuff going on. The third part is straight love song: 'My heart, your skin, this love I'm in.' It's also about the power of not having to be right all the time. If you want to get along with somebody, let them be right, and it will last longer."

This one of the band's favorite songs on the album. When the song was not released as a single, the Chilis took matters into their own hands. They held a contest on YouTube in which they asked their fans to produce their very own music video for the song and the winning video would be made the official video. The winning video was directed by Omri Cohen. It shows child versions of the band members driving in a van, picking up a Native American, and ending up at Venice Beach.

This funky track finds Kiedis stretching his vocal abilities - which have come along way from his early days as a shouter. "When you're trying so hard to get the ears of the world, it's really easy to be super-extroverted, to the point of obnoxiousness," he told Spin in 2006. "And it worked quite well, being the loud, brash, crass, aggressive guy. But instead of losing my voice or becoming a caricature, I found a way to make a transition into something new and different. And that would have been more difficult if I had been born a singer."
