No Picture Mr. Slave Wanna Be	#1 by Mr. Slave at Jan 7, 1980 at 1:48 AM EST
	man this song must mean SO much to them... it describes AK and fleas relationship in sucha nice way, and even flea gets a say in it (yeaaaa!) . i love fleas part, and the intro. i wish i had a friendship like they have

No Picture Alex Lead Player	#2 by Alex at Feb 6, 1988 at 12:27 AM EST
	awesome in its reflectiveness, definitely a hillel-themed song

No Picture rockeronbass Average	#3 by rockeronbass at Dec 25, 1990 at 1:53 PM EST
	this is my favourite rhcp song.its'about being free doing what you want to do.living life in a careless fearless way. that is looking for the deep kick ,getting a deep kick out of life.

No Picture Jonathan Average	#4 by Jonathan Williams at Aug 25, 1991 at 7:52 PM EST
	Wow flea is the best i love him in this song ahah

No Picture beast Average	#5 by beast at Feb 6, 1992 at 8:56 AM EST
	Yeah this song, as most of you said, is all about the adventures of Flea and Anthony. In his book Anthony says he actually wrote very little of the song because he was missing rehearsals and recording sessions due to his drug addiction coming back after about 4 or 5 years of being sober. So Flea came up with the intro and a lot of the rest. Great song, I love it. I agree with Sillwater, very underrated song from an underrated CD.

No Picture Redryder Rhythm Player	#6 by Redryder at Oct 9, 1992 at 4:57 PM EST
	i love the intro to this song, it builds up the rest of the song amazingly, then flea's speach at the end is to true, 'its better to regret something you did than something you didn't do' it is also cool hearing about stories they had when they were younger.

No Picture Zach Average	#7 by Zach DeLaRocha at Aug 12, 1993 at 12:04 AM EST
	this song is about the flea and anthonys experiences as a kid."Hopped a train into the night Got a ride with a transvestite "this is a true fact.anthoyn and flea hopped on a vegetable train trying to get outta L.A...but got caught by the conductor and were kicked off..later they hitchhiked and got picked up by wut anthoyn and flea swore was a hitchhiker.

No Picture Jeremy Wanna Be	#8 by Jeremy Lehman at Jul 6, 1999 at 11:00 AM EST
	the whole song is about the adventures of two idiots named anthony and flea. when they were young they did allot of crazy things. i cant help but think that i know them personally and that i was there with them. its like going back in time.

No Picture Chris Frickin L Average	#9 by Chris Frickin LaBenne! LaBenne at Jul 2, 2002 at 2:18 AM EST
	awesome song, a good example of the earlier RHCP and how much they've changed, not changed for the bad, just matured i guess...song has to be about anthony and flea, right? seems so...just talks about a couple of people lookin' for the meaning in their life? looking to keep occupied lol, something to get them off...good call bshburn, love and music can save us...my favorite part of the song is when anthony is like "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiit", very underrated RHCP song off an underrated cd IMO

No Picture jake Rhythm Player	#10 by jake lee at Oct 2, 2003 at 4:23 AM EST
	This song is about Anthony and Flea when the hitchhiked to San Francisco. Everything in the song actually happened to them. A guy picked them up, said his name was Don. Then he pulled over after a while and came back dressed as a woman and said he was Dawn. This is a signifigant song because its one of the few that Flea helped write, he also wrote most of Transcending which is also on One Hot Minute.

No Picture Jay Average	#11 by Jay at Jan 29, 2006 at 1:09 AM EST
	This song reminds me of my childhood friend and when we first starting go out in the world and looking around. Following railroad tracks for hours, trying to get to the river...A person can get easily bored in the ghetto. But I imagine RHCP has been through and done more than I can even imagine. And somehow came out clean on the other side.

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#12 by Tyler Marshall at Mar 9, 2006 at 8:26 PM EST
	anyone have any idea what the "if the French can unite, we can.." reference has to do with the song itself? It's right before the song picks up in beat originally. As for the meaning I think it's AK talking about good times and adventures the guys had, which if you read AK's book you'll see are enough to fill another double album,lol.

No Picture Plead the 5th, Professional	#13 by Plead the 5th, Cuz You Can't Plead the 1st at Mar 31, 2006 at 12:45 AM EST
	ppl say its about the adventures of flea and anthony but alot of the time it was anthony and some other kid flea did write on desks and sleep in the laundry at the snow and got "all drugged up" but he was not the one jumping off roofs into pools

No Picture The Ma Rhythm Player	#14 by The Masta Workz Fo’ Me at Apr 9, 2006 at 3:55 AM EST
	i love the intro to this song

No Picture girl. Average	#15 by girl. at May 2, 2006 at 9:02 AM EST
	a little bit of their lives is in this song... moustly of anthony and flea i guess. Great Song! i just love it... i love every thing this guys did.

No Picture ari Average	#16 by ari o at Aug 24, 2006 at 9:38 AM EST
	i've read anthonys book scartissue and alot of the things said in the song are the things he has done as a kid . . . so to me this song is about his teen years. .

No Picture Terp Rhythm Player	#17 by Terp Boom! at Oct 9, 2006 at 10:21 AM EST
	It's about searching for something and being immense friends with someone. It's a crazy song, it's so good.

No Picture Brian Average	#18 by Brian Crane at Nov 8, 2006 at 9:48 AM EST
	this song is gorgeous, nd i luv the way it is lay out. theres an intro, then three parts of their life, then a conclusion. the stuff about jumpin off buildings into their pools is true; anthony only stopped wen he misjudged nd broke his back. ow.

No Picture mario Average	#19 by mario ramirez at Dec 3, 2006 at 6:56 AM EST
	Anyone knows where can i find an accurate GUITAR tab for deep kick...? i just dont know how to play this ass-kicking song!!!

	3incubus11, just because a band's work isn't exposed doesn't mean it's nonexistent By the way, clever handle, buddy
