The Red Hot Chili Peppers offered up another sneak peek at their upcoming album Unlimited Love with their latest single “Poster Child.” The song takes on the dubious task of name dropping, well, pretty much every musician ever.

That last bit is an exaggeration, but the funky new single sees Anthony Kiedis shout out a plethora of artists. Ready to be impressed? Here’s all the artists that are referenced on the new Chili Peppers song “Poster Child.”
Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Richard Hell of Television, Adam Ant of Adam and the Ants, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Parliament, Led Zeppelin again, Thin Lizzy, Thompson Twins, The Ramones, Judas Priest, Steve Miller, Duran Duran, Van Morrison, MC5, Motörhead, John Coltrane, Michael Jackson, Flavor Flav, Chubby Checker, Talking Heads, M.I.A., Jane’s Addiction, and Sid Vicious of The Sex Pistols.
Aside from all of these artists, Kiedis also name drops other figures like Ulysses Grant, Mona Lisa, Mother Teresa, and Bernie Mac.
Unlimited Love is due for an April 1 release and will mark the first album with guitarist John Frusciante since their 2006 record Stadium Arcadium and the band’s first album since 2016’s The Getaway.
“Poster Child” is the second single we’ve heard from the record as the Chili Peppers dropped the first single “Black Summer” last month.
To celebrate the record, the Chili Peppers will be embarking on a massive tour this summer as they’ll be bringing along the likes of Beck, The Strokes, St. Vincent, A$AP Rocky, Thundercat, HAIM, King Princess, and Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals.
