Hold my hand
All the way back
To the brotherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Take me back
And my funky ass band
All the way back
To the broherland
Take me back
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hollywood..
I want to get up and go
With my funky ass jams
All the way back
To the broherland
Take me back
I want to go back
Hollywood..
Where the women
Is the women
And the man
Is the man
I want to go
As fast as I can
Slidin' on back
To the brotherland
Now children
Hollywood (Africa) (Extended Dance Mix)
Red Hot Chili Peppers' 'Hollywood (Africa)' stands as a defining track from their 1991 album, *Blood Sugar Sex Magik*. This recording exemplifies the band's signature fusion of funk, rock, and psychedelic elements, driven by Flea's propulsive bass lines and Anthony Kiedis's melodic vocals. While the original version is widely recognized, the extended dance mix expands the track's rhythmic complexity, making it a staple in electronic dance music compilations and club sets. The song captures the late 1990s era's shift toward more polished, groove-oriented production while maintaining the group's signature improvisational energy. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, frequently covered and sampled due to its infectious rhythm and cultural impact.
