Charts

The song was voted number five in a Rolling Stone readers' poll on Red Hot Chili Peppers songs.[8]

The song appears in episodes of Beavis and Butt-head and Hindsight, as well as the video games Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and NBA 2K15 "Yakkem Trailer" and the latter's soundtrack album. Along with the rest of the Blood Sugar Sex Magik album, the song was formerly a downloadable track in the Rock Band series. A remixed instrumental based on the song is often used as royalty free production music.

A line was used in the Japanese TV show Tamori Club, in a segment called "Soramimi Hour", in which non-Japanese songs are interpreted into Japanese, according to phonetics. The line "Should have been, could have been, would have been..." from the first verse was interpreted as 白便　黒便　和田勉 (Shiro ben, kuro ben, Wada Ben'), which translates to: "White excrement, black excrement, Ben Wada").

The song was covered by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine on his 2000 album, Lounge Against the Machine.
