Despite numerous atrocities by Kiedis, I think Flea brought the greatest lyrical suck. How did this make it onto a major label album?

Macklemore levels of cringe.

Some excellent stuff here.

Surely, though, the line in Taste the Pain (a song I'll admit to liking; sorry, etc) about headlights flashing across the bedroom wall is a nod to W H Auden. Kiedis deserves some kudos for that

I find 'Pea' amusing, it's a nice contrast after 'Coffee Shop' (the only song on OHM I make time for now). Helps that it's also short.

There has to be a sketch out there somewhere, on some TV show, of a comedian in costume as Kiedis, in a recording studio battling writer's block, holding up the recording process, and trying to explain it to his bandmates:

"I dunno, I just can't get the lyrics right on this one...
'A dibba, a dilla, a jibba jab willa!...' ... no, that's not it.
Maybe, 'Willa, a dilla, a jibba jab filet! Oh my god girl ...' ... ... hmmm, that's better, but it doesn't quite capture the feeling I'm going for in the song..
...
[more scratching with the pen]
...
'willa jab jub, rub it in the tub'... ..
...
...
'A willa jab jub, a California son dug, kick it to the moon, 'cos we're all in touch!'
Yes!! That's it!!!
"
