Actually. I think it's more about love. Every kind of love.
"How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?"

I agree. In Kiedis' autobiography, he goes into what inspired the song, basically an act of selflessness that moved him. It's about giving, not about sex or drugs.

[edit] River Phoenix?
River Phoenix died 2 years after this song was released, so his death couldn't have inspired the song.
The line was written before he had died, but is about him.
[edit] Music Video
Could someone upload a screenshot from the music video? I would if I knew how.
[edit] Disambaug
Can anybody make a disambaug page for this. Due to the song by george strait "Give it Away"
[edit] Next track
"Proponents of this theory are also quick to point out that the next track on the album is "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"."
It's not a concept album...
[edit] NPOV
This article is praising the band too much. Someone need to neutralize it.--Nog64 03:02, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it is. Give me some examples and add it back, but I'm removing it for now.Xihix 02:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

[edit] Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
Has anyone else noticed that the riff Frusciante plays at the end of the song is *really* similar to the main riff of Black Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf". Apparently this song was written in a spontaneous jam, I think it's very possible that at the end they were intentionally jamming on top of that riff. At the very least I think we should include a mention of "Sweet Leaf" somewhere in the article.
During recent performances (such as their special concert for Top of the Pops), the band has begun to include a heavy, energetic intro inspired by the 1987 Public Enemy single "You're Gonna Get Yours" (the first track from their debut album Yo! Bum Rush the Show), before segueing into "Give It Away" itself.
They used this intro even back in 2001-2002 (on Off the map DVD, for example). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.222.142.20 (talk) 11:21, 16 November 2007 (UTC) DOes anyone think mentioning somthing about a Jew's harp being used in the song might help this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.5.204 (talk) 14:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
