Red Hot Chili Peppers: Dani California

Okay, so I admit I am not the biggest Red Hot Chili Peppers Fan. They are kind of hit and miss with me. Am I the only person in the world who hates, hates, HATES the song Under the Bridge? Hubs thinks I am some kind of mutant.

I do, however, like Dani California (it’s from the Peppers Stadium Arcadium CD). Hey! it mentions Indiana — and makes me think of warmer weather than the current Indiana freezing!

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

Maybe you remember when Straight No Chaser was a YouTube phenom? When their 12 Days of Christmas rendition was posted by a member of the group in anticipation of their ten year reunion, receiving millions of hits and leading them right into a record deal? Talk about dreams coming true, right?

Here is 12 Days of Christmas sung by the ten member Indiana University group Straight No Chaser, from their CD, Christmas Cheers. I’ve had this in my head non-stop for hours! Truly amazing. Your turn.

Jon McLaughlin: Indiana

Does Jon McLaughlin have an amazing voice or what! From Jon’s Indiana album, the song is Indiana.

I wonder how it feels to be famous
But wonder is as far as I will go
Because I’d probably lose myself in all the Pictures
And end up being someone I don’t know.
So it’s probably best I stay in Indiana
Just dreaming of the world as it should be
Where every day is a battle to convince myself
I’m glad she never fell in love with me

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers 1993 chart toppin’ classic, Mary Jane’s Last Dance, not only mentions Indiana many times…but it rocks! The question is: what do you think this song is about? Me? Well, after watching this video I have no idea!
