Spot The Real Red Hot Chili Peppers Song Titles

by Amanda Flinner

According to rock folklore, Anthony Kiedis was walking through the Hollywood Hills when he stumbled upon a "psychedelic bush with band names on it" and took the name Red Hot Chili Peppers back to his bandmates. With songs like "Grand Pappy Du Plenty" and "Hump De Bump," in their repertoire, it seems Kiedis also plucked some wacky titles from the magical shrub. Can you spot the real Red Hot Chili Peppers song titles?
