Emit Remmus
Red Hot Chili Peppers · Californication
Angeleno but the devil may care
Summer time to talk to and swear
Later maybe we could share some air
IÂ’ll take to you the movies there
We could walk through Leicester Square
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man
London in the summer time
Call me now use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and itÂ’ll be all right
Hesitate but donÂ’t refuse
The choice is yours but you said choose
The look she used was green and sharp
Stabbed that boy all in his heart
Come what may the cosmos will
Take me up and down on Primirose Hill
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man
London in the summer time
Call me now use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and itÂ’ll feel all right
Cuss me out and itÂ’ll feel all right
ItÂ’s all right now
Call me now use the satellite
ItÂ’s all right
ItÂ’s all right
Down and out and itÂ’ll sound all right
ItÂ’s all right now
ItÂ’s all right
The California flower is a poppy child
Felony sends me all the gold in your smile
Drift away from anyone you can
Nothing ever goes according to plan
Though I know that every river bends
Time to say hello to snow on the Thems
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man
London in the summer time
Call me now use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and itÂ’ll feel all right
Emit Remmus
Emit Remmus stands as a distinctive song in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' discography, appearing on their 1999 album Californication. The track is a playful nod to the band's history, with its title serving as a backward spelling of Summer Time, a reference to the 1970s funk and soul influences that permeate their sound. Musically, the song showcases the group's signature blend of funk rhythms and melodic rock, featuring Anthony Kiedis's introspective vocals over a driving bassline. While often noted for its quirky title, the recording reflects the band's willingness to experiment with structure and theme during this celebrated era. It remains a testament to their ability to merge personal references with accessible, energetic rock compositions that defined their late nineties output.
