* The chorus of "Around The World" includes the line "You say hello and then I say adieu", which could just be [[WordSaladLyrics nonsense that happened to sound good]]... or could be part of the song's running [[ListingCities listing cities (or in this case mostly countries)]] theme. "Adieu" is French for "goodbye", so if you translate to English, that line becomes "You say hello and then I say goodbye", which is almost a reversal of Music/TheBeatles' "Hello Goodbye" [[note]]"you say goodbye and I say hello"[[/note]]: So, they could be making {{Shout Out}}s to England and France (countries that otherwise don't come up in the lyrics) by quoting a song by one of the most famous English rock bands in GratuitousFrench.

* Due to Kiedis's unique style of writing, a lot of their lyrics rely on this. An example would "What could be wetter than an English girl...?" in "Emit Remmus" having a double meaning, also referring to how rainy it is in England as well as the sex between the aforementioned English girl and American man.
