Hump De Bump

Complacency is not a virtue. It’s bad enough when stadium-sized acts start churning out tired old junk, brashly re-hashing the sounds with which they made their name. But when they don’t even bother writing coherent lyrics? Well, that’s just rude. With a gibberish chorus, ‘Hump De Bump’ is a white-funk flop in the worst taste. Kiedis, you should know better.

Hmmm, some people just dont get it really. Small minded view on it just looking at the lyrics which make no sense to him but Anthony has been in some kind of event that made them up.Hump de Bump was actually meant to be "American Ghost Dance 2000" as it sounds like "American Ghost Dance" from Freaky Styley.I thought it was a legendary song... they play it for fun!
