I'd forgotten about this RHCP song! It's the side of them I like best. While "Under the Bridge" was a huge smash, I always preferred "Breaking the Girl." "Soul to Squeeze" is pretty good too. I have to admit that as devoted as I've been to SNL over the years I never did see The Coneheads! I guess I don't need to now!

NWA did "Straight Outta Compton" https://youtu.be/TMZi25Pq3T8 and "F*ck The Police" https://youtu.be/qZuxPKUVGiw in 1988.
Good catch! I had NWA on the brain at that moment, most likely!
