Hollywood (Africa) is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1985 album, Freaky Styley. It is the second track on the album, and it was released as a single in the same year. To the producer of Freaky Styley, George Clinton, the song was one of his favorites on the album. He used to visit the gigs of the Red Hot Chili Peppers every now and then, and when they performed "Hollywood (Africa)", he went on stage to join Anthony singing and to incite the crowd.

It is a cover of the song Africa by The Meters, from their album Rejuvenation.
