(The Spanish named the territory after a mythical island paradise they were searching for because it was supposed to be full of gold and ruled by a queen named Califa. Many songs describe a journey to or a longing to return to a sun-drenched coastal paradise where everyone is eternally young and beautiful and happy - in other words a fictional place that bears little resemblance to the real California.

If more than one song by an artist is included on the list, the brief description of the artist will be put only on the first song on the list. Most songs are also available on Spotify and other streaming services. I have censored the seven deadly words and other offensive words (not to protect you, but to protect this site from being censored.) YouTube links to the song are included if I could find them. The lyrics and comments are as accurate as I can determine but there are probably some mistakes for which I apologize. This is not meant to be a list of favorites, just some interesting songs. It's better to go the Title List or the Artist List, find the song there, then click on the "Artist" link which will take you to back here for comments and lyrics.Ĭalifornia is the main subject of some of these songs, but others simply mention something about the state such as a place, a street or highway, the weather, a person, or an attitude or lifestyle the state represents for the singer.
