About This Track
“Been Caught Stealing” is a song by Jane’s Addiction. The song was released on their 1990 album Ritual de lo Habitual, and was re-released on their 2006 compilation Up From The Catacombs. The song was Jane’s Addiction’s biggest hit, spending 4 weeks at #1 on the U.S. modern rock chart.
The song exhibits the band’s strong funk influences. The funk sensibilities displayed on this and other Jane’s Addiction songs inspired the Red Hot Chili Peppers to recruit Dave Navarro after John Frusciante’s temporary hiatus. Some listeners suggest that the song deals with kleptomania, though others might contend that the lyrics of the song’s chorus - “when we want something and we don’t want to pay for it” - suggest instead an anarchic theme, with the song’s protagonist refusing to recognize private property rights. The song is notable for the barking dogs in the introduction, possibly suggesting the singer is escaping from watchdogs.
