Questo mese il fumetto di The Beat, curato dalla concept artist Mielle, è dedicato ad Anthony Kiedis, frontman dei RHCP. L’occasione è il ricordo del 1° ottobre 2001, giorno in cui “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” (Warner Bros. Records) entrò per la prima volta nella Top 10 mondiale, a pochi giorni dall’uscita avvenuta il 24 settembre.
Con 13 milioni di copie vendute nel mondo — di cui 7 milioni nei soli Stati Uniti, dove condivide il primato di vendite della band insieme a “Californication” —, Blood Sugar Sex Magik è stato acclamato dalla critica e riconosciuto come un pilastro fondamentale per l’affermazione del rock alternativo nei primi anni Novanta, anche grazie a singoli storici come Under the Bridge, Give It Away, Suck My Kiss e Breaking the Girl.
L’illustrazione di Mielle, è dedicata a Suck My Kiss, quinta traccia del quinto album in studio dei RHCP.
Ecco il testo:
And I’m sailin’
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Yeah
Oh, yeah
Hit me!
Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been dead
If I didn’t get the message goin’ to my head
I am what I am
Most motherfuckers don’t give a damn
Oh, baby, think you can
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
Someone full of fun do me ‘til I’m well done
Little Bo Peep cummin’ from my stun gun
Beware, take care
Most motherfuckers have a cold ass stare
Oh, baby, please be there
Suck my kiss, cut me my share
Hit me, you can’t hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she talking dirty?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, your mouth was made to suck my kiss
Look at me, can’t you see, all I really want to be
Is free from a world that hurts me
I need relief
Do you want me, girl, to be your thief?
Oh, baby, just for you
I’d steal anything that you want me to
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Chicka chicka dee, do me like a banshee
Low brow is how
Swimming in the sound of bow-wow-wow
Oh, baby, do me now
Do me here, I do allow
Hit me, you can’t hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she gonna curtsy?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, that mouth was made to
Shoulda been, coulda been, woulda been dead
If I didn’t get the message goin’ to my head
I am what I am
Most motherfuckers don’t give a damn
Oh, baby, think you can
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
Someone full of fun do me ‘til I’m well done
Little Bo Peep cummin’ from my stun gun
Beware, take care
Most motherfuckers have a cold ass stare
Oh, baby, please be there
Suck my kiss, cut me my share
Hit me, you can’t hurt me, suck my kiss
Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this
Is she talking dirty?
Give to me sweet sacred bliss, that mouth was made to suck my kiss
