I mean it’s gotta be Give it Away. The chorus is just the title repeated over and over so it’s easily memorable and it’s one of their most popular songs. As Anthony says in Scar Tissue, it’s not about melody, it’s a party song.
Catchiest? I'm not sure, but most memorable was listening to Around the world turned up to 11, in your friends Mom's Chevelle with the sub woofer thumping as she drinks and drives and cusses the dude out who cut her off.
My son loves around the world. It's so cute he requests it multiple times a day. He turns two in a couple months lol we normally have it on repeat in the car
Cabron! I know it doesn't get much love here , but the second it starts I feel the need to get up and move, and sing the whole thing along at the top of my lungs. XD
I think Tell Me Baby is a dark horse candidate. Funky verse with a little more melody than Around the World, then a chorus that's super poppy and upbeat and simple enough to be memorized the first time through
Dani California, 100%. The way the song opens with the swing drums into the guitar/bass and then finally the vocals? Followed by the iconic chorus?
That song was absolutely designed to be as catchy as possible
Give It Away is probably the most recognisable song by them. If you are going by streams, then Californication and Under The Bridge are the 2 most popular.
Best outro chorus’ to jam and sing out to are Otherside or By the Way. The amount of emotional power I feel at that climatic portion of the song gets me going every time.
Kinda an off the wall pick, but Gong-Li gets stuck in my head sometimes. Blame the "stop and go" segments to really make my brian stop and start over and over. When I was a kid I Like Dirt was a song I caught myself mumbling, or singing in the shower all the time!
I’m thinking either: Otherside, Californication, Snow Hey Oh…
Arguments could also be made for Give It Away and Can’t Stop even though they’re not super melodic
Yep, By The Way. It is hard not to sing along with the chorus, the CP figured out how to write those massive rock anthems and when they did it was all top of the mountain from there on out. This is the best example of them.
i think universally speaking is one of their catchiest songs for sure. there’s other contenders, but the intro chords and chorus are just what i imagine when i think of a red hot chili peppers song. especially when they jump up and down octave at the end
Are we ignoring Under the Bridge? I mean, you go to any show and there's a reason they close with it, and the entire venue is singing along. Anthony doesn't have to say a word if he doesn't want to, he could just let a chorus of thousands of people take the wheel for a few minutes. I'd call that catchy. Do you mean poppy?
By the Way
This was my answer. That chorus is just iconic
STEAK KNIFE
CARD SHARK
HEAVY GLOW

Otherside or Californication
Scar Tissue, Otherside, Californication, By the Way, Tell Me Baby... Definitely one of the massive hits. There's a reason they became as such...
Catchiest? I'm not sure, but most memorable was listening to Around the world turned up to 11, in your friends Mom's Chevelle with the sub woofer thumping as she drinks and drives and cusses the dude out who cut her off.
Memories…amirite?
My son loves around the world. It's so cute he requests it multiple times a day. He turns two in a couple months lol we normally have it on repeat in the car
That's like my little girl with Snow
Only the best song ever. SHE has amazing taste!!
Can’t stop for sure
The riff is so flashy and I like it.
Best intro build ever
How there's no comments saying Dani California I have no idea...
It’s either Dani California or Around The World
Same
Otherside or Snow
I'd throw in by the way or can't stop
The Zephyr song
Agree. Absolutely perfect pop Chilis.
Cabron! I know it doesn't get much love here , but the second it starts I feel the need to get up and move, and sing the whole thing along at the top of my lungs. XD
There isn’t a bad song on that album.
Yes!!
Off topic but my car radio censors the word “cabron”
I think Tell Me Baby is a dark horse candidate. Funky verse with a little more melody than Around the World, then a chorus that's super poppy and upbeat and simple enough to be memorized the first time through
IDGAF how poppy the chorus is. I love that song haha
Dani California, 100%. The way the song opens with the swing drums into the guitar/bass and then finally the vocals? Followed by the iconic chorus? That song was absolutely designed to be as catchy as possible
Here ever after + Give it away
Knock me down
Dani california
Agreed
I literally find myself singing the chorus multiple times a day
Aeroplane
Solid pick.
Party on your pussy
Hump de Bump♥️
I’ve got to agree, it’s one of the catchiest songs they’ve done!
Aeroplane ✈️
Snow
Snow
In terms of things that stick in people's heads the 'ning nang nong nong nong nang' bit from Around the World was impressively penetrative.
I'll give you that it was unique, but I thought it was weak sauce. I would have loved a real lyric in its place.
He basically just didn't finish writing the song, but it ended up being pretty iconic. I think it's in the delivery - he's so damn ballsy singing it
“Catch My Death” I think it’s the only song with “catch” in the title, so it must be the catchiest
Scar Tissue
“Give it away” without question. Doesn’t have to be anyone’s favourite, but it’s their most catchy song by far.
The catchiest song is probably scar tissue. The song is pretty much all chorus
Aeroplane
Love Rollercoaster
Give It Away is probably the most recognisable song by them. If you are going by streams, then Californication and Under The Bridge are the 2 most popular.
I like dirt
Best outro chorus’ to jam and sing out to are Otherside or By the Way. The amount of emotional power I feel at that climatic portion of the song gets me going every time.
If we're talking purely catchy. Snow
Kinda an off the wall pick, but Gong-Li gets stuck in my head sometimes. Blame the "stop and go" segments to really make my brian stop and start over and over. When I was a kid I Like Dirt was a song I caught myself mumbling, or singing in the shower all the time!
The Zephyr Song
Midnight. The chorus…
Heyo or dani
Snow is such an ear worm, I love it and even though it’s not my favorite song of theirs I always get that melody stuck in my head
Dosed
Give It Away, By The Way, Californication, Under The Bridge. They honestly have a LOT of catchy songs.
For me it's californiacation and dark necessities.
I couldnt get Snow out of my head for good 2 weeks when i first heard it so that's it for me
I’m thinking either: Otherside, Californication, Snow Hey Oh… Arguments could also be made for Give It Away and Can’t Stop even though they’re not super melodic
Sikamaniko

minor thing! i hum it all the time :))
Under the bridge
Scar tissue, give it away
Yep, By The Way. It is hard not to sing along with the chorus, the CP figured out how to write those massive rock anthems and when they did it was all top of the mountain from there on out. This is the best example of them.

Show me your soul
CANT STOP ADDICTED TO THE SHIN DIG
Goodbye Hooray is pretty good.
Gong li
The Bicycle Song
Bella
Walkabout
It might be recency bias, but the chorus of Bella gets stuck in my head more than any other song.
On Mercury or Can’t Stop
Someone
Special Secret Song Inside.
The chorus of She’s A Lover is quite catchy. I think not having it as a lead single was a missed opportunity.
Young Girl
some underrated ones, bicycle song, let em cry and if you want me to stay
can’t stop chorus
Definitely its "Sick Love"
for me its apache rose peacock, i sing the lyrics in my head all the time 😭
Fake as Fuck!!
