In my search for Indiana mentions in popular music, it was neat to hear it from the well-known and loved band Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dani California comes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ Stadium Arcadium CD released back in Spring of 2006. It just doesn’t seem that long ago, does it? This popular song mentions Indiana–and makes me think of warmer weather than the current Indiana freezing of this very long winter! Enjoy the catchy beat!

Black bandanna, sweet Louisiana
robbin’ on a bank in the state of Indiana
She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner
On her merry way sayin; baby whatcha gonna
Lookin’ down the barrel of a hot metal .45
Just another way to survive
