"Dani California" is the first single from the American alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers' ninth studio album, Stadium Arcadium. The single was first made available at the iTunes Music Store and then was officially released on May 2, 2006. The international radio premiere was April 3, 2006, when Don Jantzen from the Houston radio station KTBZ-FM, played "Dani California" continuously for his entire three hour show.The single debuted on the The Billboard Hot 100 at #24 and peaked at #6, becoming the band's third single (after "Under the Bridge" and "Scar Tissue") to surpass the top-ten. In addition, "Dani California" became the second song in history to debut at #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart, after R.E.M.'s 1994 hit "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?", and also charted at #1 on the Mainstream Rock charts. The song won two Grammy Awards, one for Best Rock Song and the other for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. The song was also nominated for Best Short Form Music Video.In the song, lyricist Anthony Kiedis laments the early death of Dani, a poor, young girl from Mississippi who lived in California, became a mother and lived a hard, fast life. However, Kiedis uses the name "Dani" to represent every girl he has ever came into contact with, whether in love or as a friend. This song shows his emotions towards the many girls he has known in his life as he represents them with the name Dani. It tells a tale of the life of Dani from her birth in Mississippi, to her death in California, as represented by the main chorus lyrics: "California, Rest in Peace." The character Dani also appeared in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 2002 single "By the Way", as well as the song "Californication" as it alludes to a "Teenage bride with a baby inside/Gettin' high on information"; although there is no mention of her. The character's story comes to an end in "Dani California", with her death. "When this funky groove came up it struck me as a perfect place to actually tell a story. It sort of revealed itself to me that it's been the same character, just kind of developing. At first I didn't realize that I was writing about the same girl."Guitarist John Frusciante utilized various instruments and effects devices in order to achieve the textures and treatments used throughout the song, including Mellotron, Moog effect pedals, and a Doepfer modular synthesizer, used for the filtering and processing of pre-recorded tracks. Although it is sometimes low in the mix, the main riff, (which is heard primarily in the first verse) plays throughout as an underlying tone. The chorus of the song offers an arena rock-styled chord progression that recalls the band's earlier work.The music video for "Dani California" premiered on MTV on April 4, 2006. Directed by Tony Kaye (who was only accepted after initial choice, Mark Romanek declined), director of American History X, the video is a quasi-chronology of the evolution of rock music; the band performs the song on a stage, but in a variety of outfits representing important figures and movements in the history of rock music.Flea affirmed that "[The band] mainly did eras, not actual people: rockabilly, British Invasion, psychedelia, funk, glam, punk, goth, hair metal, grunge, and ourselves being the sum of all those parts." The video finishes with the Red Hot Chili Peppers as themselves again, occasionally flashing back to the imitated artists featured earlier in the film. While the band's appearance was intentionally generic in each scene, obvious nods were made to certain specific artists, including Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, George Clinton and Bootsy Collins, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, The Misfits-era Glenn Danzig, Mötley Crüe and Nirvana Unplugged.The video received seven nominations at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards, but only won the award for Best Art Direction, failing to win its six other nominations for Video of the Year, Best Group Video, Best Rock Video, Best Direction, Best Editing and Best Cinematography. The video was also nominated for an MMVA for best international video.
