I seem to like so many songs with California in the title or lyrics. If I was going to change my name, I might even choose California.
Anyway, post a California song you really like. Please.

As much as I love Robert plant can't stand 'going to California' cos of his yank pronunciation of califorrrrrrrrnia

Pink!
Does it have to have Cali in the title?
Have that!
California Dreaming is one of the few perfect songs ever released.
So instead I'll post a punk song that doesn't quite meet the criteria, but is appropriate for the day
And some Chuck Ragan
Does it have to have Cali in the title?
No, either title or lyrics will make me happy. Thanks 😀

I went on a kayaking trip to California 11 years ago.. It was rad.
I made a mix cd for the 'car' of as many songs as I could with California in them. Some above, doubtless some below.
I love this one by Joni Mitchell.

The Dictators - California Sun....
Kinda counts
Doesn't hit the mark as much as Marlene Shaw or Katy Perry though.
Always associated California with this, when the jasmine is out in spring.
The Mamas & Papas has to be the best but everytime I see Mama Cass why do I think never go on a blind date with your mates hot girlfriends best pal?
I hope the room she where she died is not an Air BB now seeing as that's where Keith Moon died a few years later. Can't take it away from her she was a great singer too young to die at 32
redmex, with respect some thoughts are best not shared. You seem to know your stuff, got a song?

Bother I should have waited for the youtube vids to link.
Here's the excellent Beth Hart from the Californication Soundtrack. (Season 6)
the original
(Other album covers are available which would get me vapourised off here quick sharp)
...I do actually love this one:
