The California Myth perfectly distilled in one song. I know every time I hear it, I wish I was on a beach at sunset!

It's that incredible and signature swing by The Wrecking Crew that makes this so smooth. The genius of Brian Wilson does the rest

Thanks to today's political climate (those "protests" at U.C. Berkeley in 2017, especially), I'm actually glad they all CAN'T be California girls.

The intro just leaves you with far too great expectations for the rest of the song unfortunately. The Little Girl I Once Knew is otherwise just a better version of this

"Inspired the far superior Back in the USSR, so good for something." Haha, good joke. Musically, "California Girls" blows "Back in the USSR" out of the water. The latter is just a throwback to simple blues-based rockers of the late 50s. "California Girls" is far more harmonically interesting and melodically beautiful.

Why don't the song titles specify if it's a "live" version?? I prefer hearing the original studio recordings of all songs!!

According to Brian, the intro to this is his favorite thing he's ever done. It's a shame the lyrics are so bad.
