Hump de Bump is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2006 album Stadium Arcadium. The song is the fifth single released from Stadium Arcadium. Originally expected to only be released in the US, Canada and Australia ("Desecration Smile", the 4th single was released as a international single only) the Peppers have decided to make the single and video a worldwide release thanks to the positive feedback on the internet over the video. Release dates for the rest of the world are TBA. [1]

[edit] Style
Despite the change in musical style of the rest of the album, its sound is similar to that of the band's earlier albums such as Freaky Styley. The track was originally titled "Ghost Dance" as the bassline is similar to an older Red Hot Chili Peppers song, "American Ghost Dance," actually from Freaky Styley. The title was changed to "Hump de Bump" near the end of recording. Originally a jam from the Greatest Hits Era, Anthony recorded it on his phone to save it for a later recording. It has also been said by Anthony Kiedis that the working title for this song was "40 Detectives," assumably derived from the lyric "40 detectives this week." Flea plays trumpet on this track. There is also a large "industrial" instrumental bridge on this track, similar to that on "Breaking the Girl," a song from Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
During live shows in 2006/2007, Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez would come on stage and play bongos during this section.

[edit] Music Video
The video was shot in late December 2006, and was directed by Chris Rock. The video takes place at a city block party with Chris Rock as himself, being kept out of his own block party by a security guard, while the band is playing the song at the party. It is much like a stereotypical rap video, complete with Anthony Kiedis having grills. Chris Rock wanted the band to be the only white people in the video.
The video leaked to the internet on March 9, and it officially first premiered in Australia on March 13, [2] and in America/Canada on March 14 on Total Request Live.[3]
The video can also be viewed through the band's official YouTube channel.
