Jungle Man (song)
"Jungle Man" is the first track from The Red Hot Chili Peppers 1985 album, Freaky Styley. Singer Anthony Kiedis wrote the lyrics because the track reminded him of his best friend, the band's bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary. It was released as a single, with a music video released in the same year. The band couldn't get a proper music video released so manager, Lindy Goetz decided to just piece together many different clips of live performances of the song edited together with the album version of the song playing on top.
Jungle Man has not been performed live since 1988 on the final tour with Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons although on October 19, 2011 the band teased playing it however did not play the entire song.

Famous quotes containing the words jungle and/or man:
“We’re headed for collapse, if you want my opinion, Missy. I can see it in the fallin’ off of the quality of vagrants. There was a time you could find real good company in almost any jungle you’d pick, men who could talk, men who’d read a book now and then; and now, what do you find, a lot of dirty little guttersnipes no decent tramp would want to associate with.
Well, it’s been that way all through history.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“No man but a blockhead ever wrote, except for money.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
