"Me and My Friends" is a song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1987 album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. It is the third song on the album and it was released as an airplay only single. The song is an ode to friends and in it Anthony sings of his friends, especially former guitarist Hillel Slovak. The band has played this song throughout their career as they've released new albums, it is one of the most played tracks pre-Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
This is not to be confused with another Red Hot Chili Peppers song, "My Friends" (from 1995's One Hot Minute).
Despite the fact that the Red Hot Chili Peppers disowned most of their pre-Blood Sugar Sex Magik material after attaining worldwide stardom with that album, "Me and My Friends" is a song of which they have always been proud of. It has been performed on every tour since 1986 making it the band's fifth most performed song behind only "Give It Away", "Under the Bridge", "Scar Tissue" and "Right On Time".[1] This is the oldest song that the Red Hot Chili Peppers continue to perform in concert on a regular basis, and it one of the very few songs from their pre-stardom albums that are performed live in any capacity.
