The direct inspiration that the Red Hot Chili Pepper music video, for the song 'Go Robot', predominantly applies a part of Andrew Goodwin's theory where he talks about music videos using cultural references to connect with the audience. In this case it is more than just a subtle name drop or reference in the lyrics of the song, but by creating a new narrative based off of an already existing part of pop culture. Go Robot is almost a shot for shot remake of the opening sequence of the film 'Saturday Night Fever'. The video below shows the two videos played along side each other so that they can be compared and that there likeness is highlighted.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Go Robot [Official Music Video]

# data[].attributes.body
The most recent Red Hot Chili Pepper song to be made into a music video is the song "Go Robot". Just from looking at the thumbnail of the video, we can already see a huge change in how the band is presented. The bands name "Red Hot Chili Peppers" in large, bold, red writing takes up the majority of the music video thumbnail. This just goes to show how big of a band the red hot chili peppers really are at this point in their music career and how big of an impact they have had on pop culture, as this song 'Go Robot', is being sold to the public and online audience not by people listening to the song first, but by seeing that it is by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and listening to it because of their reputation as a huge band who make great music. Their name is what gets peoples attention first before the actual music they make. One of the main theme's that follow through from the first music video to this most recent one includes, the video being set in California, the first one in Los Angeles/Hollywood and this one in San Francisco. California is a regular reference in the Red Hot Chili Peppers Musical history, as it is their place of origin as a band.

32 years later and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are now one of the world’s longest lasting and highly successful bands. Now having over 50 music videos to go alongside the songs they have created throughout the last few decades, we reach a point where we are able to see evidence for the evolution of this band and the way their music videos are directed.

All of the costumes, outfits and body paint worn during the video could be described as having a very drug infused eccentric sexual theme to it. In the majority of the shots in the video, all of the band are wearing very little clothing at all, and exposing close to the entirety of their whole bodies. Even when they are wearing some clothing it tends to be something fairly sexual suggestive, such as lead singer Anthony kiedis’s latex face mask. This is nothing out of the ordinary for the band however, as at this point in time (1984) the band was well known for performing live gigs wearing nothing but a sock to cover their private areas. Throughout the video the band members’ costumes change frequently, but never strays too far from the shirtless look the Red Hot Chili Pepper are so well known for. The band show incredible exertion, intensity and energy for the duration of the video, making this a staple of their performances as a band. As a first video for the band, many would see it as a huge risk, due to the controversial and arguably explicit images and behaviour seen in the video, taking in mind that MTV had only been on air for 3 years at this point, and nothing much like this had ever been shown before on TV. The Music video didn’t backfire on the Chili Peppers however, and gain them a larger fan base, although not avoiding the controversy that came with it.

The song “True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes” is coincidentally, the first track on their first album which was then made into their first music video. The music video from the Red Hot Chili Peppers debut album in 1984 was directed by Graeme Whifler. Whifler had very little experience at directing music videos at this point in time, so evidently the finished product comes off with a very amateur vibe to it. It is made fairly obvious from just looking at the mise en scene of the whole entirety of the video, that the music video has been shot on a very low budget, giving it a B-movie like tone. The video appears to be shot on only two very small sets, the first being a vibrantly coloured cartoonish desert-like crop field set in what we can presume to be a psychedelic and obscure interpretation of the Californian Hollywood hills. In the beginning of the video, an incredible weird, wacky and peculiar farmer character pours a radioactive-labelled liquid substance into a patch of desert in front of a crudely assembled Hollywood Sign. From this, the entire band bursts from the ground and start to perform the song. This act of the farmer pouring the waste onto the soil to create toxic crops beneath the Hollywood sign is a message that speaks with a whole lot of meaning behind, and is a theme that is reflected and reoccurring in the Red Hot Chili Peppers later work. The other set used in the video is much smaller than the first, as all it consists of is many spirited, dynamic and vivid UV coloured paints on the wall, again contributing to the psychedelic look and theme of the video itself.
