Save the Population - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Red Hot Chili Peppers are known for their unique sound and slew of hits, and it's very hard to pick a favorite song that they wrote. When it comes down to it though, theres is something I love about the simplicity of this chorus ; the double singing, the bass riff, the guitar lick that is both full but not over bearing. The line itself I think is absolutely perfect, Stay all night, we'll save the population. Why is this song so overlooked amongst their hits? Mainly due to the fact that it was released on a greatest hits album, being one of only 2 from a new 14 written deemed worthy to be on the album. Not only that, but it was the last song on the cd, so many fans would likely have tuned out or just kept switching back to one of their favorite hits to listen again. This cd is one of the best greatest hits albums of all time, and this song is worth checking out.
