If you change the playback speed on the RHCP video to 1.25, it's almost a perfect match.

Having just heard Walk This Way on the radio, I maintain that Aerosmith sets the Chili Peppers template. Not just a song like Last Child, which is totally proto Chili Peppers, but in other regards, too. You've got a gibberish jive spouting lead singer, you've got a singer and guitarist who struggled with heroin, the bassist is probably the most talented member ... Against all odds you've also got popular peaks in the 90s. They should tour together.― Josh in Chicago, Monday, January 20, 2020 1:36 PM (two years ago) bookmarkflaglink

This is a quality take, excepting that Aerosmith don't have a ton of songs explicitly about Massachusetts, with titles like "Assachewsetts", "Boobston"; or "Fenway or My Way".

I mean, Anthony Kiedis had to have bruised his forehead when he realized Tyler beat him to "I wanna get high on the crack of that ass".

Between the two new songs, I liked "Black Summer" a bit more. Not saying much, as both of them are pretty unremarkable, but at least that one played to their strengths (i.e. Frusciante).
I think this should be the Chili Peppers album where Flea finally spits a verse and proves once and for all who the best vocalist in the band is.

Covering old ground here — I've said all this before, but:
The debut is OK. The second and third albums are shockingly good compared with what they've been up to for the last...holy shit, thirty years. Mother's Milk has its moments; their cover of "Higher Ground" rules. I liked the first half of Blood Sugar Sex Magick when I first heard it, but there's not a single good song on it after "Give It Away." The entire second half is dross. And they've been terrible ever since.
Also, I saw them in '89 and had a blast; they were fun live. But a year later — on the Mother's Milk tour — the pit was full of thick-necked chuds in Duke U hats randomly punching people. That shift in audience (symptomatic of the shift from punk-and-"college rock" to "alternative" as lifestyle trend) soured me on them in a big way.

From his memoir:
I started coming up with funny little songs. One was gritty and bluesy, a kind of a rap, “A mama and a papa and a baby Lu, all got something for me and you, so wrap it up quick and put it in the oven, it’s comin’ out quick so don’t forget the stuffin’.” Who knows what it meant. I was singing it one day alone in my bedroom, all earnest and feeling the funk, when my sister walked in, mimicking me and laughing. I was so embarrassed I wanted to crawl into a hole and be alone forever. I’d been found out. A few years later, I was singing along to the Beatles version of “Till There Was You,” when my mother heard me and said, “Michael, that sounds horrible, you are so out of tune!” I’ve always been insecure about my singing voice.Thirty-five years after that, I was doing a recording session with my friend Jewel when she asked about some songs I’d written and recorded a couple of years previously. It was stuff where I played acoustic guitar and sang, and she’d generously warbled backgrounds on it. I replied that I’d stopped that project, because I just didn’t have a strong singing voice. She said, “Flea, I think your voice is charming.” Then the producer of the session, Daniel Lanois, chimed in, “It could be charmingly bad!” Ha, I think Daniel was onto something.

The thing that makes Freaky Styley so great is that it is obviously a group of stoned white skaters doing their conception of a funk album; the fact that it actually ends up being a funk album is a bonus.
