Red Hot Chili Peppers Signature Song

music

There's something that hasn't settled well with me since I heard the Red Hot Chili Peppers were suing Showtime over the name "Californication".  What I don't get is Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis saying "Californication" is the band's signature song.

"Californication" is a fine song, but does anyone actually consider it to be their signature song?  I don't even think people think of it as that album's signature song.  I think "Scar Tissue" is the signature song on Californication.

As for RHCP's signature song, most would agree it's "Under the Bridge".  I'm not suggesting that's their best song, but I'm pretty sure it's their signature song.

What's Kiedis smoking?  And why am I almost a month late with this rant?
