The song was released as the second single from their fourth studio album Mother’s Milk and is considered to be a significant component of the Chili Peppers’ success; even earning the band an MTV Video Award nomination.
The song is featured in the films Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995), Center Stage (2000), Walking Tall (2004) and The Longest Yard (2005). This version has also been played in a season one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover? This ought to be sacrilegious. To each his own though. They did their own thing.

@crispolly What? How can people talk about the song like that? This version is just heavier and rockish, but by any means...this cover wouldn't have existed if Stevie wouldn't sang it and composed it in first place :c
