Warlocks (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warlocks is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2006 album, Stadium Arcadium. It is the eleventh song on the 'Jupiter' disc and it features a guest appearance from Billy Preston who plays the Clavinet on the song. Reportedly, Preston, who was bedridden at the time, listened to the tape the band sent him, jumped out of bed, recorded his part, then got back in bed. This was one of Preston's final works, as he died on June 6th 2006.
Though not confirmed, this song appears to be about drugs. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis uses a lot of the same lingo for drugs that he used in his autobiography, "Scar Tissue."
[edit] Trivia
The song uses the word "Rockapotamus." This is obviously not a real word, but it is a little something thrown in for the Peppers fan club, formerly known as the Rockinfreakapotamus. This was also part of the proposed title for the album that became Mother's Milk after the fatal heroin overdose of former Chili's guitarist Hillel Slovak.
