Death of a Martian

This song was written as a tribute to bassist Flea's dog, Martian. The dog had died while the band was recording Stadium Arcadium.

Anthony Kiedis' dog, Buster, also died during the recording of Stadium Arcadium. Losing a good dog is quite a drag, the heartfelt vocals are genuine.

The line, "Make room for Clara's bare feet" is a reference to Flea's daughter, Clara.
