I was sitting in my garage with a bass Louis Johnson gave me—a Treker Louis Johnson Signature 4-string—and I started playing that ’70s funk line. The bass had light strings on it and had that whacka-whackita sound. It’s kind of a “been done” groove, but it’s nice and Anthony liked it. The chorus part was one of those things where we were stuck; sometimes when we’re looking for another part, I’ll have no idea what I’m going to do, but I’ll say, “What about this?” I went [mimics zooming sound up neck]; it’s all sliding on the E string.
Actually, “Aeroplane” was the only song I was worried about-I thought it sounded like another stupid white boy trying to be funky! I put it out anyway, but it’s the one thing I’d go back and fix. When I played it live in the studio with the band, the bass didn’t record right for some reason, so it was one of the few things I had to overdub. The part kept feeling stiff to me, as if it wasn’t my day; I wasn’t flowing with the drums. I wanted to redo it, but Rick [Rubin] said, “It’s cool.”

Red Hot Chili Peppers Lyrics

"Aeroplane"

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain
That motherfucker's always spiked with pain

Looking in my own eyes, hey Lord
I can't find the love I want
Someone better slap me
Before I start to rust
Before I start to decompose
Looking in my rear-view mirror
Looking in my rear-view mirror
I can make it disappear
I can make it disappear, have no fear

Sitting in my kitchen, hey girl
I'm turning into dust again
My melancholy baby
The star of Mazzy must
Push her voice inside of me
I'm overcoming gravity
I'm overcoming gravity
It's easy when you're sad to be
It's easy when you're sad, sad like me

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain

Just one note could make me float
Could make me float away
One note from the song she wrote
Could fuck me where I lay
Just one note could make me choke
One note, that's not a lie
Just one note could cut my throat
One note could make me die

I like pleasure spiked with pain
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Songbird sweet and sour Jane
And music is my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane
Pleasure spiked with pain

My aeroplane, my aeroplane
It's my aeroplane

Thanks to Jo, Heather for correcting these lyrics.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis on funk, as well as elements from other genres such as punk rock and psychedelic rock. Live, they incorporate many aspects of jam rock due to the improvised nature of much of their performances. Currently, the band consists of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009, following the departure of John Frusciante. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have won seven Grammy Awards and sold over 80 million albums worldwide. In 2012 they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. more »
