Red Hot Chili Peppers Join James Corden For Shirtless ‘Carpool Karaoke’

The Red Hot Chili Peppers joined James Corden for another installment to the “Carpool Karaoke” segment on Corden’s Late Late Show. Front man Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer buckled up in Corden’s car to sing along to some of the band’s hit rock songs when the segment took an unsual left turn.
Not long after the car ride began, Corden asked if he should play some music. All five carpoolers then started jamming out to their song “Can’t Stop”, followed by a random rendition of “Food Glorious Food” from Oliver.

Corden and the band then continued talking as the topic of wrestling came up after Kiedis mentioned he used to play the sport prior to his role of lead man for the rock band. Corden and Kiedis then wrestled one another in the front yard of someone’s home. The match ended in Kiedis eventually taking down Corden as he was overcome by laughter at the ridiculousness of the moment.

As the drive continued on Corden admitted to Kiedis, “I almost didn’t recognize you when you came up because you had clothes on.” The notoriously shirtless lead singer explained that it felt more ‘natural’ to shed his top during concerts, and then began removing his socks and shirt in the car. Shortly thereafter, Corden, Keidis, and Flea all were shirtless as they all sang along to “The Zephyr Song”.

When the band tweeted about the experience, they appropriately told their followers to check out the “bizarre” rendition of “Carpool Karaoke.” While it was one of the more bizarre episodes of the hilarious series, it was definitely entertaining.

Keep an eye out for new music by the Red Hot Chili Peppers coming June 17.
