Q&A: "Dark Necessities"
|
|
Hey all! To kick off the new Q&A initiative, I went crazy on Red Hot Chili Peppers – “Dark Necessities.” There were no questions on the song before I started, so I added a ton of questions and answered them myself! Did you know that astronauts never actually had Astronaut Ice Cream?
https://genius.com/Red-hot-chili-peppers-dark-necessities-lyrics
I tried to get some staple questions out there and then focus in on some more specific ones that can connect to annotations—this is a great opportunity for directing people to annotations who wouldn’t otherwise click on them.
Can anyone make some music connections to answer this question: “What other songs does ‘Dark Necessities’ sound like?”
Did I slack on any questions? What other questions should be added? Which of these questions are the most important, and which ones suck? Share your thoughts below, and add your own questions!
