Funky Monks is the title of a 1991 documentary (also the title of a song from the 1991 album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik") about the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers and the recording of their hugely successful 1991 Warner Bros. debut Blood Sugar Sex Magik which was produced by Rick Rubin and recorded in a supposedly haunted house which Rubin now owns. Throughout the 60 minute documentary, which was filmed in black and white, you will witness the band recording many of the tracks to make the album including ones that didn't but showed up a few years later, like the hit single Soul To Squeeze. Footage from this documentary was also featured in the Suck My Kiss music video, which was released in 1992. Funky Monks was originally released on VHS but was re-released on DVD. The Chili Peppers returned to the mansion located in California to also record their 2006 album, Stadium Arcadium.
