10. Right on Time - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Length: 1:52

Across their lengthy discography, you can't really count on any Red Hot Chili Peppers record being short. Even their most accessible albums are known to be a bit lengthy, usually spanning a solid hour with a huge amount of tracks. Californication is a prime candidate for one of those albums, but a song like "Right On Time" is the perfect example of less is more.

Rather than the soulful ballads like the title track or "Otherside," "Right On Time" is the Chili Peppers at their least chill, with the funk rock BPM brought all the way up before settling it down for the groovy choruses. This song could feel the time frame of about 3 more Chili Peppers songs, but it never makes you feel short-changed, with John Frusciante squeezing every bit of life out of the chords he hits as Anthony Kiedis raddles off his verses like he's on the brink of sanity.

The verses may be a trip, but the "it's right on time" chorus is one of the most downtempo and catchy moments in the band's entire catalog, which shows the Peppers finding enough time to even put a key change into the mix. You may have been drowning in the California sun, but this song wakes you up from your stupor before "Road Trippin" helps bring the album to a delicate finish.
