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

Anyway

and that one about the hotel you can’t leave from or something something

I have more 😁

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.

eddiebaby you have transgressed and must now post another ; )

Didn’t see it listed with a vid, but I’m flagging this afternoon…

Oh and…

I would have bet cash money this would already be on the thread:

surprised this hasn’t come up…

[ video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqcqZlFMUYQ[/video ] failed miserably. John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, ‘California’

Can I have a couple more (spot the sub-theme)?

The Dictators – California Sun….

Kinda counts

Doesn’t hit the mark as much as Marlene Shaw or Katy Perry though.

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?

iffy spelling

I see TonyGs California sun, and raise you The Ramones California Sun.

Came to post the Ramones but beaten to it.

Here’s one. The chorus was something like Ain’t no place as bad as Southern California. Band was 80s LA punk like F.E.A.R or something. Bugging me now bit google doesn’t help.
