}} "Can't Stop" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2002 album, ''By the Way''. It is the third single released from the album. "Can't Stop" is one of the few tracks on ''By the Way'' to revisit the original Chili Peppers method of short, rapped verses, containing less implemented texture. "Can't Stop" is unique, however, as it contains melodic and layered guitar and lyrical progressions, which the band's earlier work did not. The song was the Chili Peppers' eighth number one on ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks, where it spent three weeks topping the chart, and peaked at #57 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔(Allmusic - Red Hot Chili Peppers Singles chart positions )〕 The song performed moderately well on various other charts worldwide,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Worldwide Charts for "Can't Stop" )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Worldwide Charts for "Can't Stop" )〕 as well as Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts, respectively.〔〔''Billboard'' Red Hot Chili Peppers' Singles Chart Position; Various Charts. []〕 It was also the band's only #1 single not to be included on their 2003 ''Greatest Hits'' album. This song is a playable track in the game ''Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades''. ==Music video== The Mark Romanek-directed music video for the single features all four of the band members doing seemingly random and excessively abstract actions such as holding lots of water bottles or attempting to balance buckets on their heads. It begins with the camera swooping through a yellow tube to Anthony Kiedis, wearing glasses, and is subsequently followed by the foursome running through a hall with light fixtures attached to their backs. The band engages in various activities, such as wearing a giant purple hippopotamus mask, playing with rubber balls, jumping, abstract scenes with boxes, buckets, water bottles, trash cans, flying through the air, pink foam peanuts, plants, playing guitar in a room full of empty blue chairs/room with lamps turning on and off. At the conclusion, a sign stands alone with white letters that arrange the phrase ''"Inspired by the 'One-Minute Sculptures' of Erwin Wurm"''. At certain segments of the video, one can see guitarist John Frusciante playing an orange Toronado, which is unlike his style due to the fact that he only plays vintage guitars (the Toronado being under five years of age). Frusciante later affirmed that he was instructed to play the guitar by director Mark Romanek since it blended well with the color scheme used in the video; he also noted that he was never actually playing the guitar.〔The Making of ''Can't Stop: The Video'' - Red Hot Chili Peppers Greatest Hits〕 Inspiration for the video was attributed to Austrian artist Erwin Wurm.〔Red Hot Chili Peppers 'Can't Stop' video; interview with Director of Photography, Jeff Cuttler. ().〕 The lighting was positioned in order to provide a clean-cut, contemporary atmosphere which would integrate with the video's concept.〔 Orange was chosen to be the backsplash color by Romanek. His creative hand attempted to mirror Wurm's abstract "One Minute Sculptures", by having the band perform random scenes, which seem to fit no purpose. However, in retrospect, they were not intended to be anything more than arbitrary actions, fitting with the ideas expressed in Wurm's work. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Can't Stop (Red Hot Chili Peppers song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
