MTV News spoke to director (and rapper) on the set of the Red Hot Chili Peppers music video for ‘The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie’. The debut single from their new album, ‘I’m With You’.

“I talked to Anthony a couple times, and he was like, ‘I want to do a couple changes to the video,’ but all the changes he had were, like, stuff we were already doing with the video, like slow-motion and stuff. So I was like, ‘We’re dialed in,’ ”

Stadium-Arcadium.com recently spoke to Melanee, the lead female actor in the music video for The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie! The Los Angeles based actor, producer, model, and singer shared some info with us about how the new Red Hot Chili Peppers single sounds, and, although she can’t share too much with us at this time (under production conditions), she even told us a little bit about the music video itself!

The Lead Female Role on RHCP’s New Single…
The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie has that funky Red Hot Chili Peppers bass beat you’d expect from Flea, meshed perfectly with a rhythm from Chad Smith you can’t help but want to bounce up and down to, groovin’ quirky lyricism from Anthony Kiedis, and some fresh string action from the “new” guy in town, Josh Klinghoffer. I’d call it very danceable and I hope people really enjoy rockin’ out to it – we certainly did, literally all day long!

As for the video, I don’t want to say too much, but I think it’s safe to say that Kreayshawn came up with a wicked awesome concept and you’re really going to love seeing what all the guys are doing– it’s like a bad-ass short film!

Interview coming soon…

“The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie is a hard-pop spin on classic Chili Peppers funk, with a creeping bass line and a marching-disco rhythm in the chorus reminiscent of the late-Seventies Rolling Stones.”
Rolling Stone Magazine June 8th 2011 http://rhcp.me/ak45

The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie is the debut single from the Red Hot Chili Peppers tenth studio album, I’m With You.

The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie Lyrics

Lipstick junkie be funky all he want
She came back wearing a smile
Look-alike someone drug me
They wanted to unplug me
No one here is on trial
Its just a turn-around

And we go
Oh
Well and we go
Oh oh oh oh

Tic-toc, I want to rock you like the 80s
Cock-blocking isn’t allowed
Tug boat Sheila is into memorabilia
Who said three is a crowd?
We better get it on the go

Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Oh 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

Rain dance maggie advances to the final
Who knew that she had the goods?
Little did I know her body was one delicious vinyl
To your neck of the woods
I want to lick a little bit

Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Oh Maggie makes it in her cloud

You got the wrong girl
But not for long girl
Its in a song girl
Cos I’ll be…
Gone girl

Hey, now
We’ve got to make it rain somehow
She told me to
And showed me what to do
Oh Maggie makes it in her cloud

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

But not for longer
Its in a song girl
Cos I’ll be gone bye bye yeah
bye bye girl

[scat]

bye bye
girl
bye bye
girl
bye bye
