The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The first single from the upcoming Red Hot Chili Peppers album I'm with You, is "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", which will be released on August 26, 2011 in multiple European countries and in the United States four days later. It is their first single released since "Hump de Bump" in 2007 and the first single released with new guitarist, Josh Klinghoffer. The single was released to radio on July 15, 2011, three days earlier than expected due to an accidental leak. The digital download was made available on July 18 while the CD single was released four days later. The music video was released on August 17, 2011. The song reached number one on the Billboard Rock Songs chart in its fourth week on the chart. On August 10, 2011, the song became the band's record holding 12th number one single on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.



On June 23, 2011 it was announced that hip hop artist, Kreayshawn was picked to direct the music video. Kreayshawn told MTV that she was shocked when the band's label contacted her management about directing the video. She said she went to film school but never thought it would translate to something this big.

On July 30, 2011, the band took to the rooftop of a building in Venice Beach, CA to shoot a second version of the music video with director Marc Klasfeld.

The video was released on August 17, 2011 through MTV.com and the band's website. MTV aired the United States television premiere of the video on the same date at 7:53pm Eastern Standard Time which was followed by a live Q&A with the band answering fan questions through Twitter on MTV.com.

LYRICS

[Verse]
Lip stick junkie
Debunked the only one
She came back wearing a smile
Look-alike, someone drug me
They wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
It's just a turnaround
And we go, oh
Well then we go uh huh oh

Tick tock I want to rock you
Like the eighties
Cock blocking isn't allowed
Tugboat Shiela is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd
We better get it on the go

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

[Verse]
Raindance Maggie
Advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods
Little did I know
Her body was one
Delicious vinyl
To your method the words
I want to lick a little bit

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud.

[Bridge]
We've got the wrong girl
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
Cause I'll be gone girl

[Chorus]
Hey now
We've got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
How Maggie makes it in her cloud

I said hey now
I want to rock this rowdy crowd
She told me to
And showed me what to do
She knows how to make it loud

[Outro]
But not for long girl
It's in the song girl
Cause I'll be gone bye bye bye yeah
Bye bye bye girl

-scat-

Bye bye girl
Bye bye girl
Bye bye
