Red Hot Chilli Peppers praise Motorhead, Judas Priest and more in new song 'Poster Child'

Red Hot Chilli Peppers will release their 17-song new album 'Unlimited Love' on 1st April. However, the band has given fans a little treat with a single release of their song 'Poster Child' and the song gives homage to a heap of '70s icons like Judas Priest, Motorhead, Led Zeppelin, Ramones and more.

Additionally, The band's previous single 'Black Summer' is a smooth four-minute track of bass lines and soothing chords backed by a beat that's shuffling along to an exuberant chorus. In 'Poster Child' the lyrics mention the musical legends of the 1970s.

Unlimited Love will be Red Hot Chilli Peppers 12th album and the first album back with guitarist John Frusciante since their 2006 double album, Stadium Arcadium. It's been six years since the band's last album 'The Getaway'. Kiedis tells NME We're gonna put out music by the handful. Literally. Don't be surprised if another wheelbarrow of songs comes your way in the near future. … We have a lot of shit to turn people onto"

'Poster Child' lyrics

Melle Mel and Richard Hell were dancing at the Taco Bell
When someone heard a rebel yell, I think it was an infidel
Adam Ant and Robert Plant were center of a sycophant
Used to buy Ulysses Grant to record at the Record Plant
Islamabad is on the nod, Havana at the riot squad
And if you want to be a Mod, you'll have to meet me at the quad

You got the best of my loco
I'll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I'll take the rest of your low notе

Parliament's Atomic Dog that hats were filling up a fog
Wе talk about the life and death of everything in analog
The seventies were such a win, singing the Led Zeppelin
Lizzy lookin' mighty thin, the Thompson's had another twin
I thought I won the lottery, the numbers never thought of me
Ramones had a lobotomy, so spin me like a pottery

I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight, ow
La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum

A funky piece, the Sandinista, me and minor Mona Lisa
Judas Priest has whipped the beast, the mother love was named Teresa
Bubble gum, a cup of soup, dirty dandy nanda loop
A small banana in your hoop, and now I know the band is group
Bernie Mac and Caddyshack were dusty as the bric-a-brac
And if you ask me for the time, I tell you that the preacher's back

You got the best of my loco
I'll take the rest of your showboat
You got the best of my Yoko
I'll take the rest of your low note

Steve Miller and Duran Duran, the Joker dancing in the sand
Van Morrison, the Astral man, the festival of hurricanes
Speak of Chico and the Man, the silence of a certain lamb
MC5 kick out the jam, a poncho full of contraband
Merry Queen was on the scene on every preteen magazine
The Motörhead and mystic queen, I must've needed Valvoline

I will be your poster child
You know the world is ours for a little while
And then I will be your poster child tonight
La-da-da-da, bum-bum-budum
