About Catholic School Girls Rule

"Catholic School Girls Rule" is a song from the 1985 album Freaky Styley by The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Although never released as a proper radio single, a music video for the song was made and was directed by longtime friend, Dick Rude. The video was only played on Playboy TV because of a nude scene, and because it also featured a controversial scene of Kiedis singing from on a cross. The song was also featured on the band's 1992 compilation album, What Hits!? and the music video can be found on the VHS/DVD of the same name.

Catholic school girls rule
Catholic school girls rule

In the class she's taking notes just how deep deep is my throat
Mother Mary don't you know
She's got eyes like Marilyn Monroe

(Catholic school girls rule)

From the cross she's raised her head
This is what the sister said
Give no love until you're wed
Live no life until you're dead
The good books says we must suppress
The good books says we must confess
But who cares what the good books says
'Cause now she's taking off her dress

(Catholic school girls rule)

Lead us into temptation
We are pure divine creation
Talkin' about my generation
Injected with the seed of emaculation, Catholic

Currently, the band consists of founding members Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Michael "Flea" Balzary (bass), longtime drummer Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who joined in late 2009, following the departure of John Frusciante.
