I'm making a mix with songs about California. I'm trying to make most of them "recent" (within the last 10 years) but 70s and 80s classics are welcome. I know I'm missing lots. Also, I'm specifically looking for Cali songs with a city/town in the title ("Santa Monica", "Malibu") and songs about cities/towns ("City Of Angels, which is about LA)
Can anyone give me some more? So far I have these
1. Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers 2. Malibu - Hole 3. California Love - Dr. Dre & Tupac 4. California - Phantom Planet 5. Hotel California - The Eagles 6. San Francisco - Vanessa Carlton 7. California - Lenny Kravitz 8. City Of Angels - The Distillers 9. Sunset Strip - Courtney Love 10. California - Semisonic

P!nk - "Don't Let Me Get Me" (there's that line "LA told me you'll be a popstar..." well, that's what Angela A said she thought "LA" meant the first time she heard it.)

LL Cool J - Going Back To Cali That's the version I like. Most of the others I wanted to mention have been. Nobody Walks In LA-Missing Persons Take California and Party-Propeller Heads California Mudslide- Lightnin' Hopkins California Sun-The Rivieras (most excellent in my opinion) California Rain- Silvertide For more just go to Launch and search for California, LA or whatever, there's tons more than I listed there. The above I recommend though.

California Sun-The Rivieras (most excellent in my opinion) I agree (I remember the song was used in a Pepsi ad campaign with Cindy Crawford years ago).

Nobody Walks In LA-Missing Persons That's a pretty good one, even though I thought it was really called "Walking in L.A.". Anyway... VAST - "I Woke Up in L.A." (on the import version of Nude, and on the download-only Turquoise album, released 8 months before the U.S. release) Tool - "รnema" (well it refers to L.A., although as a "f**king hole") There are plenty of others, but I can't think of them. I had to mention the one from my all-time fav. artist, though.
