This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Origins and recording section, this sentence ---> "If Flea and Frusciante are unable to come to an agreement on guitar or bass progressions then they separately craft a part of the song", sounds like it was added by someone who was their with Flea and Frusciante when they were developing the song, in a third person view. Perhaps you mean ---> "Flea and Frusciante were unable to come to an agreement on guitar or bass progressions, but separately crafted part of the song"? In the Release and reception section, "Warner Bros. sought to have the song premiered on a popular rock radio station in Texas, but were turned back when the format refused to air the track", replace "back" with "down". Doesn't make sense with "back".

   Reworked. NSR77 ^T 21:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

   This sentence ---> "If Flea and Frusciante were unable to come to an agreement on guitar or bass progressions thy would separately craft part of the song", something is wrong here. Also, why is "If" still in the sentence?

   Ah, I misunderstood. Fixed now. NSR77 ^T 21:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

   Check.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   In the Lyrics and meaning section, "When Kiedis was looking through her closet he came across a jacket he liked, and commented to Hagen that it was "really cool", the source should be mentioned after the quote has concluded, here and here.

   Fixed. NSR77 ^T 21:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

   Check.

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   In the Music video section, is there a source for this ---> "Journalist Jeff Apter noted the video's "funky brew of goofy looks, a subtle invasive hook, Flea's spindly fingered baseline and Kiedis' crotch-hugging shorts made the clip essential viewing across MTV throughout the last few months of 1991"?

   Fixed. NSR77 ^T 21:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

   Check.

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!
