Beach Boys - California Girls

[calpolisyummy]

Sounds a bit like Back in the USSR ! (ironie intended)

[MegaRandomness1997]

I hate it now a days when the artists nick song titles from older bands !!!!

[acdc123107]

listening in 2012



[malon1218]

@acdc123107 i don't care. everybody watches this everyday

[GouledXD]

I just noticed how much Katy Perry might have been influenced by The Beach Boys, since God Only Knows made her write music *gag*. I still don't like Katy Perry, she butchered Don't stop me now aside from all the bubble-gum pop garbage she's made.

[coed360]

@GouledXD Yeh, I prefer the Katy Perry version too ;)

[GouledXD]

@coed360 I didn't say that. I just mentioned Katy Perry may have been influenced by the Beach Boys.

[coed360]

@GouledXD K bbz ;D

[rambo9647]

good memories from this song

[lcvi100]

Cette chanson est géniale .

[toxicityedu]

Die Bitch, Die!

[isaacbateman76]

Katy Perry's Version Quite Sucks man compare to this~ Katy Perry IS A PLAGIAT~

[isaacbateman76]

51 Dislikes? man,they didnt like california girls at all~

[Sutherland46233]

Katy Perry who? Don't think people will ever call her a genius!

[Bencarmine96]

Katy Perry has 51 accounts

[ostereich1]

who could dislike any beach boys song???

[Daronzable]

KATT PERRY SHOULD DIE!! Becaues of her when you try to search up a song by good people it just shows up with her shit. THANKS FOR RUINING YOUTUBE YOU BITCH!!

[madass21]

@Daronzable lol

[sasybee]

@Daronzable ok guy but calm down and enjoy! love is the word ;)

[golfclub48]

too good



[alfredoking14]

the beach boys make california girls seem like, the cutest. but then katy perry makes them seem like dumbasses.

[SomethingRules]

sorry, but i like katy perry's version better

[neonnights98]

@SomethingRules Yeah well Katy Perry stole her song from the Beach Boys so you can't give her the credit. She wouldn't even have done that song if the Beach Boys didn't exist.

[isaacbateman76]

@neonnights98 Wow Katy Perry Stole Beach Boys song? what a plagiat~

[speedcontrol21]

love them.

[UncleErnie71]

Fucking love that intro.

[TheChickenMacNugget]

haha rush hour 2

[otakubabe555]

I know people like bashing new music, and this is pretty much my favourite Beach Boys song, but it really isn't necessary to insult Katy Perry. They have the same name, who cares? There's also a song called California Girl by Chilliwack. It's okay for multiple people to make songs with the same name.

[drjwthorne666]

@otakubabe555 That's how come people can cover other people's material

[RazrHack]

@otakubabe555 She stole the fucking chorus. How is that okay?

[UnLawfulName]

I remember Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan were singing this in Rush Hour xDD

[RobsysGames]

@UnLawfulName One of the best movies. Ever. Hurray for Rush Hour! :D

[wu1d0]

50 justin beaver fans....

[partypack29]

@wu1d0 lame

[noel2711]

I have loved this song for over 40 years but I have to say that the Boys had no experience of Asia. California Girls the greatest girls in the world? I don't think so. (I have been to California incidentally).

[ThisDudee]

i love beach boys yeah beach boys are dope

[MoleLoL]

50 people are not fans of the beach boys LOL AM I FUNNY YET

[PIROSKA60]

I WISH WE COULD GO BACK IN TIME!!!

[StillLifeWithMangoes]

Brian Wilson just makes this song. :)

[codman0987654321]

I find it sad I have to scroll down to find this song. Katy Perry takes up the top spots :(

[phsycospacezilla]

@codman0987654321 don't worry, i bet it'll be the opposite in 10 years.

[inhmn]

@codman0987654321 yeah, but Davie Lee Roth is top :D

[Avenger2680]

@onlythaking who the hell is chakie chan? jackie chan's evil khaki wearing step brother?

[faidhantu]

RUSH HOUR 2!!! yeppy WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

[CreamedCheesed]

I always have warm memories of The Beach Boys. Sat in the living room listening to my dad's old 'best of' LP locked in those exotic sounds. Sounds I'd never heard the likes of before, and have never forgotten.

I'm always slightly weary of people who don't like The Beach boys.

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[beans1308]

whos fucking brian n why should i be bovvered

[StillLifeWithMangoes]

@beans1308 hes the beach boy member who basically was the creative force behind a huge amount of their songs and particularly pet sounds, I believe

[colobius]

@paudiemaguire1 wellp, guess my mind is dirtier than I imagined, thank you good sir, here have ten internets.

[paudiemaguire1]

cant wait to see brian tomoro night in dublin!!!!!!!!!

[colobius]

Am I the only one noticing that they are singing "spooge" at the end of the song ?

[paudiemaguire1]

@colobius haha no there sigin "girls, girls, girls yea i dig the girls"

[acey45]

Canada has the best girls tho?

[otakubabe555]

@acey45 I like to think of us as the 'northern girls' when I listen to this.

[covertjo]

f**k katie perry

[Frank332666]

@covertjo you mean fuck?

[covertjo]

@Frank332666 yeeeeeeeeeep, but im just the kind of person tht likes to keep things on youtube 'family friendly' =D

[rousseaujj57]

best song EVER!!!

[97Lordflash]

Katy who?

[edunsworth]

god, this is so much better than katy perry.

[josearofutbol22]

well this aint my music ajajaja

[RioluTheShiny]

is this that snowboarding song from A view to a kill?

[humeyboy]

@RioluTheShiny, YES!

[RioluTheShiny]

@humeyboy

What the heck?

[humeyboy]

@RioluTheShiny, What do you not understand?

I answered your Q to the Bond movie!

[RioluTheShiny]

@humeyboy

Its just weird.

[ElvisLivesUpstairs]

I love the way they harmonize (Yes, I'm not a good speller) their voices more than anyone. Love that sound SO much. (By the way, I'm only 3 months old..)

[TheJayman213]

classic! screw katy perry and her california "gurls". ooohh, she's so gangster for misspelling "girls" on purpose.

[WeTheStrange]

The introduction is really breathtaking. The combination of instruments, the melody, the harmonies- absolutely sensational.

[72cleber]

É uma pena eu não ter vivido nessa época!

[Klystyr]

I mean, that Beach boys were one of the best music groups on the world! Excellently mixed vocals and rhytm are the largest differrents from another groups which use a similar style!

When I´m tired or I have sad mood I listen their music for my relax.

[NAJCR]

Why did Katy Perry's version come up before the Beach Boys's? :(

[humeyboy]

@NAJCR, Beach Boys 1st and foremost then cover by Van Halen, fuck Katy Perry! :-)

She will be forgotten in a few years unlike the two classic I mentioned!

[OutOfMyMindd]

Katy Perry, California girls < The Beach Boys, California girls

Katy Perry, Teenage dream < T- Rex, Teenage dream

I was born in the wrong generation ):

[Aarodynamicshiphop]

thumbs up if you didn't know there was a katy perry song by this same name until you tried searching for this song.

[LucaToni101]

thumbs up for rush hour 2

[Hellfire5500]

great song of the 60's !!

[marthabelful]

Me encantaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!



[kobana23]

This song is so fun!

[Bradwinston1981]

the beach boys rule

[kongomueller1]

bitch boys :) (at least thats how it sounds with my russian accent)

[kiko12347]

Oh my, i know allllllllll the lyrics to this song. it's soooo good. I just saw the beach boys in june, they held a concert where i live/

[sk8terboi142]

I can listen to this song all day driving thru California, or anywhere along the beach blvds;) in the morning, the afternoon or at sunrise...I really like the Beach Boys, and I'm actually in Punk Rock,Trance,Harddance,Hardstyl­e,Happy Hardcore,Techno line, but I love Surf,Classic Rock,Blues, as well.

[Nitromethanification]

Rush Hour brought me here!

[aserosero12]

Californian girls are much better than california gurls.

[4n3v3r1]

I love heavymetal

but somehow...i love this 2 :DD

[whachoutb4]

I wish they were all Pembrokeshire

[music0fan123]

Great song!

[tilerman]

Sitting in my van an hour ago in Nth London, pissing down with rain in the middle of July and this came on the radio, you would have needed a wire brush to wipe the smile off my face. Damn

[GreekAnimal1]

Rush Hour !!!

[NicolSlipknot]

thumbs up if you like this legendary version better than shitty katy perry's version!

[Yrrats]

@NicolSlipknot I don't know the shitty Katy Perry version XD

[NicolSlipknot]

@Yrrats that's even better!you don't have to know,it's dumb shit.

[60sisthashit]

@Yrrats She has never made a version of this. her song is called californie gUrls...

[60sisthashit]

@NicolSlipknot hey. criticise Jonas Brothers, Justina Bieber, or who you like. But please, don't drag Katy into it...

[ybrik222]

@NicolSlipknot

Technically, Katy's song "California Gurls" isn't actually a cover of this song. It was heavily inspired by the Beach Boys' song, though.

[Aseeym]

Who's to say that a state of girls are worth more than the girls from other places?

[niggyVB]

douch^

[bsedbrook]

@MrMeddled Somebody's still smoking crack.

[bsedbrook]

@MrMeddled Somebody's still smoking crack.

[famousashtray]

0:00 through 0:23 pure, absolute pop genius at work

[elise8latuny]

Eastcoast girls are hip

[azbaldy5]

an classic and brian wilson was not lying when he wrote this masterpiece

[corvette831]

Katy perry wishes she could be this talented

[CJarcenacovers]

Who's Katy Perry? :P

[kluter28]

thumbs up if RWJ sent you here!!!!

[huntudown4]

@kluter28 When did RWJ mention this? I must have missed a recent episode...

[CricketChapman]

23 years old...

And I totally dig the fucking Beach Boys. What a great band. Really learned a lot about them in a "History of Rock n' Roll" class I took as a freshman in college. Been hooked since.

[MarcAndreLavoie11]

@CricketChapman wow you could have a class about history of rock in roll in college? thats awsome lol !

[Jannto]

Ahhh, I love this song so much. ALmost 1 million views too...

[badnerved1]

Within a half hour, he had come up with the "well east-coast girls are hip, I really dig the styles they wear" part of the song. The next day, he and Mike Love supposedly finished off the remainder of the song.

[badnerved1]

The music for the song came from Brian Wilson's first LSD experience.[3] In the Beautiful Dreamer documentary, Wilson said that shortly after taking LSD, he ran up to a bedroom and hid under a pillow, shouting "I'm afraid of my mom, I'm afraid of my dad." Some time later he left the room and went to a piano. He started playing in the bass the B-F#-G# pattern over and over, and then added in the right hand after a few minutes a B chord, moving to an A chord.

[jkyriakides90]

the best of all are in the whole california

[briandoran1]

dont bitch at me for this but the katy perry song is a follow up to this one of the girls answering back

[ANewAccount43]

@briandoran1 It's taking all my restraint not to bitch at you

[briandoran1]

@ANewAccount43 this is better than the other song though

[badnerved1]

this song was written on acid - bet you never knew that

[kurdt1000]

@badnerved1

no, it wasn't

[cubbyblues]

They are not saying California girls are the best. They are singing about American girls and how they wish all of them could reside in California where they live. Listen to the lyrics people. You're smarter than that.

[RonnieLola]

@cubbyblues I already knew that! xD I thought I was the only one who thought that. c:

[growspecialist]

@cubbyblues california girls are beatiful but czech girls more :D



[xTheVanishx]

actaully it is about califonria girls cause back then in cali there were 8 girls to 1 guy on the beaches.

[xsingsthesorrow]

@cubbyblues that's just first verse, in the secon verse they call california girls 'the cutest girls in the world'

[cubbyblues]

@xsingsthesorrow Can't wait to get back to the STATES. Not just California.

[redman8903]

@cubbyblues yeah its true, i shagged a girl from LA once, was really fat, drunk and pale. Big disapointment.

[ClassicRockReviews]

@cubbyblues The way I interpret it, is that it's not only about the girls in America, but all over the world! :)

[NodrogTrax]

@cubbyblues Good correction, but you are mistaken, they are not smarter than that. This is post literacy, sir, we have certain rules now.

[jamin484]

Third verse

I've been all around this great big world and I've seen all kind of girls,

Yeah but I couldn't wait to get back in the states back to the cutest girls in the world

[TheSportsComedy]

@jamin484 If they think so... then they haven't been around the world.. Eastern Europe has the best looking girls, and that is FACT!!!

[antiscratchy]

@cubbyblues he does say he wants to get back to the cutest girls in the world though... how knows :S

[BIGDTXAN]

Everytime I hear this song it makes me appreciate my warm, intelligent, and beautiful California girl (wife) more.

[alexdanielfincher]

go beach boys AND beatles!

[cypressdrive1536]

I still love you!!

[GothicKnight2]

Saw this live in a San Diego concert tonight with my dad. At the end they said "I wish they all could be San Diego girls."

[13truelover]

im a california girl... i really appercerciate the credit i get from these guys.. and i LOVE there music

[2base]

IT'S THAT INTRO

[MrJeepsters]

peut être la meilleure chansondes beach boys dans sa conception

[xxxGOLDENGALxxx]

i dont like the beach boys. this is just my personal opinion. it has nothing to do with my age, where i come from, my gender etc..... i just don't like them. it is my taste. while i accept that the beach boys music has already outlasted katy perry's by about 40-50 years, and will probably outlast her, i do prefer katy perry's california gurls. does that mean i don't have musical taste? no. it means that i have *different* musical taste.

[StupidFuckingTrolls]

@xxxGOLDENGALxxx you have horrible taste. kill yourself please.

[thebestatitofcourse]

@xxxGOLDENGALxxx I hate you, the world hates you. You also have the worst music taste,. Die in a fire. BEACH BOYS RULE

[trogdor20X6]

@xxxGOLDENGALxxx It means you're wrong. That's the truth. ... Actually it's probably because you were indoctrinated to only care about heavy basslines in music by the Top 40 Stations.

[memejawd]

@xxxGOLDENGALxxx no it means you don't respect history, because frankly I don't see how one couldn't like the beach boys

[fallswhiteshadow]

I'll tell you what it is ok? Most of these new singers today cannot even imagine what it was like to live in the 50's or sixties. They get in a slump and then say "ooooooh, maybe I can do a version of this song and oh they'll just love me for it.. When actually they are making fools of themselves. If you sing pop music, Please don't insult us with your copying the real songs. Now watch and see someone who thinks by cursing at what I put here will make them feel big. Don't bother me with it.

[pamcartney]

Im sorry if this offends you but Katy Perry is a bitch.... in ALL her videos shes half naked with thousands of guys going avfter her.. I mean eww! (EXCEPT FOR FIREWORKS, WHICH IS MY FAVORITE kATY pERRY SONG)... anyways, this ORIGINAL version of this song is much better and melodic than Katy Perrys other version... sincerely: a real girl with a good taste in music

[daurpm]

@pamcartney its not a "version". They're different songs

[SuperRod88]

Happy Birthday Bruce Johnston (June 27)

[StupidFuckingTrolls]

Katy Perry shouldn't even be fucking mentioned in this video.

[ctraver]

How the fuck is this the #4 on a search for "California Girls"? Youtube, fire whoever is responsible for that.

[xXLunarEclipse896Xx]

This should be the song to describe California's girls. Also, it doesn't make all the other girls from different states sound like old hags.

And to all the Katy fans trolling here, the Beach Boys are forever a part of history. Their songs are priceless and can never be replaced. Katy Perry? She'll always come second to Gaga, and she'll mainly be remembered for her I Kissed a Girl song, rather than California Girls (as it's only really popular over in California).

[RosebudTheOfficial]

KATY RULES ;) MOOORE zbozoo

[xXLunarEclipse896Xx]

@RosebudTheOfficial She'll always be outdone by Gaga. She copies her a lot.

[pamcartney]

@RosebudTheOfficial WHO DA FUCK ARE YOU!??

[RosebudTheOfficial]

@pamcartney im a girl watching this video :D

[gozags77]

You think because of that terrible knock off, this video would have more views.

[WilWithOneL117]

Not gonna lie. I like Katy Perry's California Gurls. But! I prefer this one.

[mrputo27]

Glad to live in So Cal !!

[Trichomes503]

@mrputo27

Glad that I don't!!

[mrputo27]

@Trichomes503 Bahaha !! Whys is that ? We got the dankest :D

[S0ndor]

@furballjunior The car has a roof.

[dapik5]

WTF these guys copied katy perry, and made it so much worse. losers

[mysuper64]

@dapik5 Are you kidding?!?! the beach boys are classics! Sorry, katy perry was waaaaaay after this song.

[wtfswrongwithurface]

@dapik5 Your parents obviously don't love you, if they did, they would have introduced you to a thing called music!! Im not hating on Katy Perry, I love her music but you just cant beat bands like the Beach Boys!

[WilWithOneL117]

@dapik5 Are you high? Katy Perry was AGES after these guys. If anything, she ripped them off, but I won't say that, because I like her version too.

[mrturtleguy23]

@dapik5 fuck you and have  nice day :)

[mikawhofan]

@dapik5 Katy Perry is a novelty act.. If that.. she lacks the skill and song writing capabilities to even compete. the fact that most of her stuff was written by or with the help of some one else should disqualify her. Brian Wilson wrote most of if NOT ALL of the Beach Boys songs.. Songs that are timeless classics and actually you know sound like music.

[homicidalmaniac1123]

@dapik5 *Facepalm*
