"Under the Bridge" by All Saints


 

Los Angeles, California alternative band Red Hot Chili Peppers had their 1991 single "Under the Bridge" covered by London, UK R&B chickadees All Saints.

Because, when hearing the song about loneliness and depression and drug use, they thought that it could really use some Spice Girls-esque treatment.

For more Chili Peppers covers, The Crane Wives version of "Otherside" can be found here, and Funky Rhythm Affair's version of "Give it Away" can be found here.

"Give it Away" by Funky Rhythm Affair


 Funky Rhythm Affair are labeled as a Bossa Nova/Chill band on their profile at Secondhand Songs. They're likely from Brazil, inferred from their inclusion on a Lounge Essentials album with some of the Bossa heavy hitters, as it were.

Their Spotify account has only two songs uploaded, one of which is this take on Los Angeles, California funk fusion superheroes Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1992 single "Give it Away."

Their version is neither Bossa nor Chill... but has Funk and Rhythm aplenty.

And, now I want to find their entire music catalog, which must span more than a couple of songs.

Come on, Funky Rhythm Affair, time to deliver...
