Stone Cold Bush

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stone Cold Bush is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1989 album, Mother's Milk. It is the eighth track on the album and one of the funkier songs on the album. It is also the song with the most sexually suggestive lyrics on the album. It contains a bass solo and often on tour Flea would play an intro-like doodle (also seen on the Saturday Night Live video).

The Red Hot Chili Peppers performed a live version of 'Stone Cold Bush' on Saturday Night Live. It was the first of two songs performed on the show, the second being Under the Bridge. Near the end of the song, lead singer Anthony Kiedis swung his microphone stand around wildly, he fell and hit guitarist John Frusciante's microphone, which tipped over and hit Frusciante's face. In his book, Scar Tissue, Kiedis said that Frusciante was upset by his being hit. For the second performance, Frusciante played the intro of "Under the Bridge" off-key, and screamed nonsense during the chorus.
