While he may have been found making a significant splash during Disney+'s latest live-action Star Wars spectacular, Obi-Wan Kenobi, as a no-good bounty hunter tasked with capturing a young Princess Leia, it's safe to say that Flea is more widely recognised for his topless exploits alongside fellow Red Hot Chilli Peppers on the music scene.

And it was a certain response to his day job that ultimately rubbed the enigmatic rockstar up the wrong way in the end as none other than Weird Al Yankovic's spin on Pepper hits Under the Bridge and Give It Away left a bitter taste in Flea's mouth in particular.

As he'd confess to VH1's Behind the Music upon taking in Weird Al's Flintstone-inspired yabba-dabba-doozy of a parody tune by the name of Bedrock Anthem:

"I didn't think it was very good... It wasn't that great. Yabba dabba do?"

Flea still admitted he was a fan of Weird Al and his works, but "everyone's hit and miss" as he also was quick to put it.
