A sunny climate like that in Southern California comes to mind on a day like this. Here are five songs with California in the title:1) “California Dreamin’” — The Mamas and the Papas had ugly winter weather in mind when they penned this ode about native L.A. while living in cold, gray New York.
2) “It never rains in Southern California” — Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood had the right idea.
3) “California Girls” — Surfing, cars and girls were staples of the Beach Boys.
4) “Southern California” — Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys returns to familiar themes in this song off his brand-new album.
5) “California Stars” — Billy Bragg and Wilco put music to lyrics by Woody Guthrie, who never recorded or wrote down what he had in mind for a tune.
