"Around the World" is a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers released as the second single from their 1999 album Californication. The single peaked at number seven on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks and number sixteen on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.
In 2007, the song was also heavily edited and used as a new soundtrack for the California Screamin' ride at the Disneyland Resort, as part of their "Rockin' Both Parks" campaign.
The intro riff is very similar to Breadfan by Budgie.
[edit] Music Video
A music video was made for the song, directed by Stéphane Sednaoui, who had previously made videos for other Chili Peppers songs such as "Breaking the Girl", "Scar Tissue" and "Give It Away". The latter in particular, with its unique, chaotic visual style, is similar to "Around the World"; Sednaoui used similar visual techniques in the video for R.E.M.'s song "Lotus". The video was featured on an episode of MTV's Making the Video.
