Shindig Addict Kelly Clarkson Covers Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop”
In 2002, Anthony Kiedis opened the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ single “Can’t Stop” with these characteristically baffling lyrics: “Can’t stop, addicted to the shindig/ Chop Top, he says I’m gonna win big.” In recent months, that line has become a bit of a meme.
