Sunday Music: Me And My Friends (Old Red Hot Chili Peppers)
February 22, 2026·0 comments·zg
Am I nostalgic?
Is anybody NOT nostalgic, at least a little, at least in some weird ways?
When I think of my friends, or I so much as say the words, my brain rushes to fill in, “me-and-my-me-and-my-me-and-my-me-and-my-me-and-my-FRIENDS.”
I still have the red cassette case. I still smell green Palmolive dish soap and feel the cushy green Walkman headphone material resting on my ears when I see it. I don’t miss it so much as I know it.
As an adult, the lyrics are just as dumb as every other Red Hot Chili Peppers song. There’s nothing here to quote, really, but I do love the casual friends (by name) shot-outs in the verses.
I bet they loved it. I bet the band thought it was so cool and the friends got a good laugh at it the first time they heard it, and any time they were at a show and got to that part.
The song wasn’t written for the charts.
