Well, if they're going to put more focus on Misa than in the actual manga, it works out (the song, that is). I've listened to the song, and it gives an impression of a very good "ending credit rolling" title. If that wasn't the basis of why they selected the song, then I'm lost as to why they went with it besides the stereotypical "wow, I think this is a pretty cool English song" reasoning.
The song itself is a continuation of a "saga", per se, of the RHCP (i.e. the story of Dani California, a ficticious woman who was first created in the song "By the Way", mentioned in "Californiacation", and continued in greater depth here; based on an amalgamation of the various women Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer and lyricist, dated in the past).
