The Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1991 hit 'Give It Away' doesn't seem like the most natural choice for a bedtime lullaby, but that didn't stop kindie (as in kid indie) duo Renee & Jeremy from giving it a whirl -- or emerging with a surprisingly effective new version of the song.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have unleashed the latest and fourth overall offering from their new 7-inch single series of ‘By the Way’ outtakes.

Records or as digital digital downloads through iTunes. Both songs are also streaming below.

"Had the best time of my life and you did everything you could to throw some black disgusting paint on my memories."
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have spent the better part of 2012 rocking arenas and stadiums as they continue to tour behind last year's 'I'm With You' album, but they'll close out the year in a much more intimate setting. As MTV.com reports, the band has lined up a New Year's Eve gig at the Chelsea Ballroom at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' vault-clearing campaign, which started earlier this month with the release of the 'Strange Man'/'Long Progression' single, is continuing according to plan.
