“Shoulda been, coulda been, shoulda been dead / If I didn’t get the message goin’ to my head.” Anthony Kiedis is honest and transparent in “Suck My Kiss”.  The Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman adds in the first verse of the Blood Sugar Sex Magik highlight, “I am what I am / Most motherfuckers don’t give a damn.” Ooh-wee, Anthony! For good measure, he drops the MF bomb later in the verse.  As intriguing as his swearing is, the sexual nature of “Suck My Kiss” is most captivating.

“Someone full of fun do me ‘til I’m well done / Little Bo Peep comin’ from my stun gun.” Dirty! It doesn’t stop with comin’ either.  In the second verse, he playfully sings, “Chicka chicka dee, do me like a banshee.” A banshee screams, which is what Anthony wants her to do when they’re having sex.  Horny as albeit, he wants some badly: “Hit me, you can’t hurt me, suck my kiss / Kiss me, please pervert me, stick with this.” Damn! Besides the entertaining lyrics and Kiedis’ terrific vocals, the music is fantastic.  The band is in the pocket with their infectious, funky brand of rock.  The drums (Chad Smith) groove hard, the bass (Flea) is active, funky, and robust, while John Frusciante kills it on guitar. RHCP constructed a gem. Rick Rubin poured in his expertise in the production seat. “Suck My Kiss” is one of the most badass, ‘sucking’ songs of all time!
