Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Aeroplane. By Songfacts®.

This is based on a traditional blues song called "Jesus Is My Aeroplane." On their Greatest Hits DVD, Red Hot Chili Peppers explain that is how they feel about music, that it takes them to a higher place.

Towards the end of the video there is a group of kids singing "You're my Aeroplane." Those kids are from the kindergarten class of Clara, daughter of bass player Flea. Clara is the one towards the left, singing the loudest.

Some of the lyrics seem to be about hedonism and drug use, notably the refrain "I like pleasure spiked with pain." The line, "Sitting in my kitchen, I'm turning into dust again" is most likely a reference to lead singer Anthony Kiedis' relapse, as his kitchen was where he would often do drugs.
