A Bot Wrote a Red Hot Chili Peppers Song, And It’s Pretty Good

What happens when you run the lyrics to all of Red Hot Chili Peppers' songs through a bot and then ask that bot to write a new Chili Peppers song? The answer, apparently, is the song "Tool Shed."

YouTuber Funk Turkey is at it again and has shared the very unique "Chili Peppers" song below. Funk Turkey went viral last month when he gave the same treatment to all of AC/DC's songs and yielded the track "Great Balls," which was shockingly catchy and good.

Despite what one of his followers said, when you ask a bot to write a RHCP song, the track's lyrics aren't just repeating the word "California" for three minutes, even though it would be low-key hilarious if that happened.

Instead, we're greeted with lyrics like, "I'd be there, can I find you papa?/And spank you upon your mama/I want to go robot, I scream/I did that, we'll find my feet."
