California Girls or just about any other Beach Boys song. They essentially popularized the southern ca stereotype to the world and subsequently enticed about 50 million baby boomers to move there between the 60s-80s.

However, my personal favorite of all songs about CA is Led Zeppelin's Going to California.

I Love You, California.

Have we really gone this whole thread without mentioning the actual state song? Best lyrics by far.

When I first read the thread title, I thought of Frank Sinatra's "I left my heart in San Francisco." That's the one that comes to mind for me. I know it's not about the state, but that's the one I think of first.

What fun to watch such a young Joni Mitchell. She still gives me goose bumps. Her voice is so mesmerizing.

Weird video. Watched 1:50 of some weird woman in a bathtub and Dwight Yokum on a TV and no singing going on. I gave up LOL!

He sure changed when he aged, didn't he? Used to be kinda sexy...

LOL. What kind of music video makes you wait 2 1/4 minutes before the music starts? The kind made by artists indulging themselves, I guess...

I'll take your word for it that it's a good song...
