[edit] Video

The video shows the band performing the song in a strikingly psychedelic visual style, reminiscent of a kaleidoscope. There are also dancers performing in this video. Like most of the songs on the album, "The Zephyr Song" has a much more subdued, pop-rock sound when compared to Red Hot Chili Peppers' preceding albums.

[edit] Pressing error

There is a pressing error on the UK versions of The Zephyr Song CD1 and CD2 singles. The CDs and inlays have matching catalogue numbers but the b-sides listed on the inlay are on the opposite disc to the one included with the inlay. Retailers began to switch the CDs in the cases to correct the problem but the catalogue numbers on the CDs were then mismatched with the inlay numbers.
