The single was first made available at the [[iTunes]] Music Store and then was officially released on [[May 2]], [[2006]]. The international radio premiere was April 3, 2006, when Don Jantzen from the Houston radio station [[KTBZ-FM]], played "Dani California" continuously for his entire three hour show.<ref>''News'', Red Hot Chili Peppers Official Fan Site, April 3, 2006, http://www.billboard.com</ref> The single debuted on the [[The Billboard Hot 100]] at number twenty-four and peaked at number six, becoming the band's third single to hit the top-ten on the chart. As well, "Dani California" reached the number one spot on both the Billboard Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts.<ref>''Red Hot Chili Peppers - Singles'', Billboard.com, http://www.billboard.com</ref> In the Billboard album review of ''Stadium Arcadium'', which dismissed the album as indulgent and lacking cohesion, "Dani California" was described as "the one thing that truly grabs attention upon first listen and worms its way into your subconscious, where it just won't let go, as much of Anthony Kiedis' catchiest melodies do."<ref>Stephen Thomas Erlewine, ''Stadium Arcadium - Album Review'', Billboard.com, http://www.billboard.com</ref> A producer and presenter from the Delaware radio station WGMD have accused the Red Hot Chili Peppers of plagiarizing [[Tom Petty\|Tom Petty & the Heartbreaker's]] 1993 hit "Mary Jane's Last Dance," due to similarities in the chord progression of the verse, vocal melody, and lyrical themes.<ref>Daniel Melia, ''Red Hot Chili Peppers Accused of Plagiarism'', May 24, 2006, Gigwise.com, http://www.gigwise.com</ref> Both songs were produced by [[Rick Rubin]]. Neither Petty or the Chili Peppers have made any comments about this. "Dani California" was named the theme song for the Japanese horror film ''[[Death Note]]'', based on the [[manga]] (Japanese comic).<ref>Johnny Butane, ''News: Death Note Trailer!'', The Horror Channel, http://horrorchannel.com</ref> ==Music Video== The music video for "Dani California" premiered on MTV on April 4, 2006. Directed by [[Tony Kaye (director)\|Tony Kaye]], acclaimed director of ''[[American History X]]'', the video is a chronology of the evolution of rock music. There has been much debate on the [[Web]], about which bands are portrayed. In the June 2006 issue of UK Classic Rock magazine, Flea was quoted as saying, "We mainly did eras, not actual people: [[rockabilly]], [[British Invasion]], 60s [[Psychedelic music\|psychedelic]], [[Glam rock\|glam]], [[funk]], [[Punk rock\|punk]], [[Gothic rock\|goth]], [[Glam metal\|hair metal]], [[Grunge music\|grunge]], [[Emo music\|emo]] and ourselves being the sum of all those parts". ==Dani's Story== {{main\|Dani (Red Hot Chili Peppers)}} In the song, lyricist [[Anthony Kiedis]] laments the early death of Dani California, a poor, young girl from Mississippi who became a bank robber and lived a hard, fast life. A girl by the name of "Dani" also appears in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' [[2002]] single "[[By the Way (song)\|By the Way]]." Kiedis has explained that the character of Dani California embodies all the women from his past relationships, ''"When this funky groove came up it struck me as a perfect place to actually tell a story. It sort of revealed itself to me that it's been the same character, just kind of developing. At first I didn't realize that I was writing about the same girl."''' ==Track Listing== ===CD single #1:=== #"Dani California" #"Million Miles Of Water" ===CD single #2:=== #"Dani California" #"Whatever We Want" #"Lately" ===7 Picture Disc single=== #"Dani California" #"Whatever We Want" ==Chart Performance== {\| class="wikitable" !align="left"\|Chart (2006) !align="left"\|Peak<br>position <ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.musicsquare.net/charts/song/8284\|title=Red Hot Chili Peppers' Dani California: Chart Positions\|accessdate=May 30\|accessyear=2006}}</ref> \|- \|align="left"\|U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100]] \|align="center"\|6 \|- \|align="left"\|French Singles Chart \|align="center"\|57 \|- \|align="left"\|[[Dutch Top 40]] \|align="center"\|8 \|- \|align="left"\|[[UK Singles Chart]] \|align="center"\|2 \|- \|align="left"\|German Singles Chart \|align="center"\|12 \|- \|align="left"\|[[ARIA Charts\|Australian ARIA Singles Chart]] \|align="center"\|8 \|- \|align="left"\|[[RIANZ\|New Zealand Chart]] \|align="center"\|7 \|- \|align="left"\|Swiss Singles Chart \|align="center"\|4 \|- \|align="left"\|[[Irish Singles Chart]] \|align="center"\|7 \|- \|align="left"\|Austrian Singles Chart \|align="center"\|7 \|- \|align="left"\|Belgian Singles Chart \|align="center"\|15 \|- \|align="left"\|Swedish Singles Chart \|align="center"\|2 \|- \|align="left"\|Norwegian Singles Chart \|align="center"\|5 \|- \|align="left"\|Chilean Airplay Top 100 \|align="center"\|11 \|- \|align="left"\|Italian Single Chart \|align="center"\|4 \|- \|} {\| class="wikitable" !align="center" bgcolor="white" colspan="31"\|"Dani California" - U.K. Top 75 Singles \|- style="background-color: #white;" \|align="center"\|Week !01 !02 !03 !04 !05 \|- \|align="center" style="background-color: #white;"\|Position \|<center>12 \|<center>2 \|<center>6 \|<center>8 \|<center>16 \|} {\| class="wikitable" !align="center" bgcolor="white" colspan="31"\|"Dani California" - Modern Rock Tracks Top 20 \|- style="background-color: #white;" \|align="center"\|Week !01 !02 !03 !04 !05 !06 !07 !08 \|- \|align="center" style="background-color: #white;"\|Position \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|<center>1 \|} {\| class="wikitable" !align="center" bgcolor="white" colspan="31"\|"Dani California" - Billboard Hot 100 \|- style="background-color: #white;" \|align="center"\|Week !01 !02 !03 !04 !05 !06 !07 !08 \|- \|align="center" style="background-color: #white;"\|Position \|<center>24 \|<center>9 \|<center>10 \|<center>9 \|<center>8 \|<center>'''6''' \|<center>'''6''' \|<center>11 \|} {\| class="wikitable" !align="center" bgcolor="white" colspan="31"\|Australian [[ARIA]] Singles Chart Trajectory \|- style="background-color: #white;" !align="center"\|Week !01 !02 !03 !04 !05 !06 !07 !08 !09 !10 !11 !12 !13 !14 !15 !16 !17 !18 !19 !20 \|- !align="center" style="background-color: #white;"\|Position \|<center>9 \|<center>9 \|<center>'''8''' \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|} {\| class="wikitable" !align="center" bgcolor="white" colspan="31"\|[[Dutch Top 40]] chart trajectory \|- style="background-color: #white;" !align="center"\|Week !01 !02 !03 !04 !05 !06 !07 !08 !09 !10 !11 !12 !13 !14 !15 !16 !17 !18 !19 !20 \|- !align="center" style="background-color: #white;"\|Position \|<center>29 \|<center>18 \|<center>10 \|<center>'''8''' \|<center>11 \|<center>11 \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|<center> \|} ==Notes== <references/> ==External links== Red Hot Chili Peppers - [http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com Official Site] Red Hot Chili Peppers - [http://www.MySpace.com/redhotchilipeppers MySpace Page] Red Hot Chili Peppers - [http://thestreetnetwork.sparkart.com/rhcp/ Street Team] Stadium-Arcadium.com Unofficial Fansite - [http://www.stadium-arcadium.com http://www.stadium-arcadium.com] Video Interview with RHCP talking about Dani California - [http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/news/news.php?uid=151] Full Length Streamed Track - [http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/news/news.php?uid=161] or [http://music.download.com/redhotchilipeppers/3615-8573_32-100054124.html?tag=MDL_artist_tab_apsongs] *Full Length Streamed Video - [http://www.redhotchilipeppers.com/news/news.php?uid=174] {{Red Hot Chili Peppers}} [[Category:Red Hot Chili Peppers singles]] [[Category:2006 singles]] [[Category:2006 songs]] [[es:Dani California]] [[fi:Dani California]] [[fr:Dani California]] [[it:Dani California]] [[nl:Dani California]] [[pl:Dani California]]
