"The Greeting Song" is the fourteenth song on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik. A tempo of 134 beats per minute combined with consistently fast rhythms make it the fastest-paced song on the album (other than "They're Red Hot"). The song starts off with a short guitar / bass introduction. The same introduction riff is played throughout much of the song, along with a simple pre-chorus line, a chorus, and an instrumental interlude section featuring a somewhat mellowed guitar solo backed by unusual harmonies between Flea and Frusciante.
In Anthony Kiedis' autobiography, Scar Tissue, he says that he has always hated this song because Rick Rubin wanted him to write lyrics about cars and other things he didn't agree with.
