Artist: Beach Boys
Song: California Girls
Released: 1965
Where to listen: Anywhere in California
When we visited California we drove all the way from LA to San Diego and then up to San Francisco and finally back down to LA again. That is a fair bit of driving and this song can take you across the entire state. California Girls has been making people dream of fun in the sun for over 50 years now. It is perhaps the best known of the Beach Boys songs. It is also a great tune for relaxing or singing along. You get your Beach Boys and your California Girls.
Artist: David Lee Roth
Song: California Girls
Released: 1985
Where to listen: Anywhere in California
If you want to mix it up a bit you can also listen to a cover version by David Lee Roth (former Van Halen frontman). This version is only 30 years old and has a campier feel. It is still Beach Boy approved as Beach Boy member Carl Wilson provides backup vocals. The song mentions girls from all over the United States but the West coast is the preference. We wish they all could be California.
