What Hits ReviewWhat Hits!? (with it's nicely sarcastic title) is next to WB's Greatest Hits CD, the second best RHCP contemplation album. Spanning from 1984 to 1991, this features some of the Chili's best fan-favorite songs, incompasing everything from the funk/rock/rap/sex/mayhem of the 1980's to the sentimental classic "Under the Bridge". So without further ado, the review.
1. Higher Ground: An awesome tribute to Stevie Wonder, featured on the 1989 album "Mother's Milk". Very funky and energetic, a song to headbang to.
2. Fight Like a Brave: From the 1987 album "Uplift Mofo Party Plan", this is a rip-roaring song to raise your fist in the air to and chant "Fight like a brave! Don't be a slave!"
3. Behind the Sun: A delightfully playful (and psychadelic) acid-rock song, this tale of talking dolphins is a truly feel-good tune. From Uplift Mofo.
4. Me and My Friends: This song from Uplift Mofo is a tribute to the friendship of the Chili Peppers. Features some rapid-fire raps and a chorus to chant to, this is a great tune to dance like a freak to.

5. Backwoods: This tribute to the origins of rock music is one kick-*** jam! Featuring a rocking chorus and some funktacular (allow me to invent a word) rapping, make this a song a powerhouse of pure energy.
6. True Men Don't Kill Coyotes: From the Chili Peppers 1984 debut, this hard rockin' song has a certain quality to it unlike other RHCP songs; a rough, gritty garage-band feel. Another great 'chant to the chorus song'.
7. Fire: A minute-and-a-half of pure, unadulterated, musical insanity. Featured on Mother's Milk, but also a live favorite.
8. Get Up and Jump: One of the absolute best party songs, ever. Extemely funky and energetic, this song is guarenteed to have you jumping like a frog on speed. Featured on the Chili Peppers' first album
9. Knock Me Down: A bit of a darker song, this is an anti-drug themed song about the death of Hillel Slovak, the Chili Peppers' guitarist and friend. Not only does it rock, but it is also rather touching and true-to-life. Featured on Mother's Milk
10. Under the Bridge: Curiously, the only song from 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik here, which makes it feel rather out-of-place. If you have listened to a rock radio station within the past 15 years, you've heard this song. This is a sentimental and heart-felt song about Anthony Kiedis' drug addiction. This is also a special song for me, as it is not only the song that introduced me to the Chili Peppers (thus making me a big fan), but it also embodies what I feel about life (and I'm not a drug user, though). Features guitarist John Frusciante's mother singing harmony vocals, and an absolutely atmospheric outro.
11. Show Me Your Soul: A song that was contributed to the soundtrack for the movie "Pretty Woman", this is a very funky pop-flavored love song, like only RHCP can make.
12. If You Want Me To Stay: A stunning cover of the Sly and the Family Stone song of the same name, this is a song to both relax to and to slow-dance to. Featured on 1985's Freaky Styley.
13: Hollywood (Africa): A re-titled cover of "Africa" by 1970's funk band The Meters, this is a wonderfully funky slow-burning party jam. Featured on Freaky Styley.
14: Jungle Man: A tribute to bassist Flea, this is another funky song to chant to the chorus and dance along. Featured on Freaky Styley.
15: The Brother's Cup: A funky song for a party, this song features some very imaginative lyrics, a staple of the Chili Peppers. Featured on Freaky Styley.
16: Taste the Pain: A darker kind of Chili Peppers song, this features some very morose lyrics (try and find your own interruptation of them), and a knockout chorus. Featured on Mother's Milk.
17: Catholic Schoolgirls Rule: A literally "quick-and-dirty" (with emphasis on "dirty") tribute to the sexiness of Catholic schoolgirls. Featured on Freaky Styley.
18: Johnny Kick a Hole In The Sky: A song about Native American (that's "Indian" for you numbskulls) rebellion, this is a truly knockout song and outro. Featured on Mother's Milk.
