"Soul to Squeeze" is a song by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers that was originally recorded during the production of their fifth studio album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991).[1] Although it was not featured on the record[1] and was used as a B-side on the singles "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge",[2] "Soul to Squeeze" was later released as a single in 1993 by Warner Bros. Records.[3] The song was included in the Coneheads film soundtrack.[4] "Soul to Squeeze" was eventually re-released for the 2003 Greatest Hits album.[5] It can also be found on the band's Live Rare Remix Box and The Plasma Shaft.
"Soul to Squeeze" became a success when it peaked at number one on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The single also peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number seven on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. In Australia, Canada, Iceland, and New Zealand, the song reached the top 10; in Sweden, it became the band's first single to chart, peaking at number 13.
Music video
The music video for "Soul to Squeeze" was directed by Kevin Kerslake and was shot in black and white.[6] The video is "set at a traveling circus with the band members playing various 'freaks' and makes several references to [Coneheads], including a cameo from Chris Farley".[4] John Frusciante does not appear in the video, as he had left the band a little over a year before it was filmed.[7]
