"The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released as the first single from their tenth album I'm with You (2011).

[...] I took it home and it felt so fun to listen to at length that I literally left it on in my driveway, opened the door and danced with the tree next to me for quite a while.

[3] On June 23, 2011, it was announced that hip hop artist Kreayshawn had been picked to direct the music video.

[4] Kreayshawn told MTV that she was shocked when the band's label contacted her management about directing the video.

On July 30, 2011, the band took to the rooftop of a building in Venice Beach, California to shoot a second version of the music video with director Marc Klasfeld.

Nelson said the video took place in a 1990s underground setting where she played a girl who knows everyone and features many antics with a geek-type character.

Nelson said the geek character's drink gets laced with something so there were fantasy scenes involving a goat and it raining inside the club.

MTV aired the United States television premiere of the video on the same date at 7:53 pm Eastern Standard Time, which was followed by a live Q&A with the band answering fan questions through Twitter on MTV.com.

[11] Rolling Stone gave the song 3 out of 5 stars, calling it "everything you want from the Chilis" and commenting that Kiedis "woos a wild child with the type of come-ons only he can deliver with a straight face".

A special Facebook page was set up where fans could RSVP to an online event where they would be the first to hear the new single, get the latest news and be the first to buy the digital download.

On July 15, 2011, the single was briefly made available through an accidental leak on the band's website but quickly removed moments later.

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Flea discussed the leak even further by saying "The only thing that I would ever worry about would be if I was lazy or I didn't really take my time in the songwriting process to make the music as good as I thought it could be.
