The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are reportedly suing Showtime over the unauthorized use of the made-up word "Californication" for an upcoming new show. Says lead singer, Anthony Kiedis, "Californication is the signature CD, video and song of the band's career, and for some TV show to come along and steal our identity is not right." (Weird!! We always thought that was "Under The Bridge.")

Meanwhile, an unconvinced Showtime exec angrily shot back, "Whatever happened to 'Give it away, give it away, give it away, now?'" Or, for that matter, "Hump de Bump?" [CNN]
