  • i love Marilyn Monroe and so do most of the other kids in my class

  • What a jerk you are.

  • But she was so BEAUTIFUL!

    

  • I remember the summer Marilyn left us .... I was a "tweener" in today's language .... I could not quite get my head wrapped aroiund the idea of suicide

  • @gto66solstice08 a you mean a tween

  • I can't believe how gorgeous Marilyn Monroe was (still is). Not like these disgusting "models" we have today.

  • THIS IS CALIFORNIA or at least it was my California. It is long gone now. I do not know my own home anymore. It was great to be here in the 1950's and 1960s. This was my HOME!

  • it's katy perry

    

  • i remember back when i was a little a kid i was at california adventure at disneyland CA. i was heading over to california screaming and when i heard this song it brought joy to my life from that day on childhood memories is a thing i will NEVER forget i will remember that time for both life and death

  • @MrJangofett66 Actually they are still playing that. Its amazing. :)

  • I was lookin' for the music video!

  • Rush Hour 3 brought me here, when the guy was singin this for money

  • @low72 lmfaaaooooo "you fuckin got it, punk".......

  • Like if the movie Taken brought you here :)

  • @joeyweezybeatz01 No, absolutely not. I thumbs downed your comment because Taken didn't bring me here. Then I gave you another thumbs down because you asked for thumbs up. Then I gave you another thumbs down because "weezy" is in your screen name. You fuckin got it, punk?

  • God she was gorgeous. most amazing body, especially legs, ive ever seen. her secret was her eyebrows!

  • Haven't heard this song in a long while. And with an all american prolly the hottest woman in history in the US Marilyn Monroe ^_^

  • Marilyn together with this song is just awesome!

  • @Queenforumnl I hope that Peter Lawford & The Kennedy's are Burning in Hell for Marilyn's Demise that they were behind her death.?

  • So this song is about how the singer lusts after California girls more than others, who can be hot but generally aren't as good. When you think about it, that's the most judgemental and egocentric attitude a male can have towards women. Having a gallery in mind, and dividing between hot and not. Whoever you end up with, that's what should count as hot to you. American culture is such a wank culture.

  • @cadmus98 Oh? isn't that how most women think? Hot and not? And BTW, America has a lot of cultures within itself that are come to be by many, many, people who come to the USA and generally live there. Now you think about that for a while instead of, lmao wanking off ^_^ XD

  • I can't believe this song was inspired by Bach.

  • hello

  • man im stiff as hell

  • Great video.

    The music and images go together.

    I know.

    I live in California.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • As much as I love this song...not all California girls are tan. I would know, I am a born/raised Californian girl and I am still about as pale as can be. When I'm not white...I'm red :(

  • @daringdep You have no latin blood. All the pretty girls have latin blood, so theyre tan.

  • @SpadaccinoLuciano: So are you saying that all girls who are not latin are not pretty?

  • @daringdep Im saying latinas have traights men find extremely appealing.

  • KENNEDYS AND FBI KILLED HER

  • i think the connection between marilyn and the beach boys is the cutest girl in the world...

  • tell that to all the idiots who spell it "girls" and we won't have a problem i guess...

  • go to hell katy perry this is FOREVER a beach boys song title!!!

  • @tywilcox715 katy perry's is california gurls not girls

  • i love that intro

  • @bobshenix I know I was like hey I didnt know I was watching The American Muscle car!

  • my parents wine + this song = life.

  • @foopLpoof

    Wine pales in comparison to Chimay ale. Look into it.

  • California Gurls

  • The intro was wrote the first time he took lsd haha trtu though

  • @NVAKiller113 I think he pretty much came up with all the music and the first line of the lyrics on his acid trip. This is when their sound started to change, hinting at Pet Sounds.

  • @TheOneartist

    actually, Brian had taken LSD one afternoon, and it wasn't until he was coming down, which was at about 2 or 3 in the morning, when he wrote California Girls. I'm not just bullshitting, Brian said it himself.

  • @MeanMrMustard963 Thanks for the detailed info, but there's no denying it was still influenced by the experience. I haven't done acid yet (will soon hopefully), but I've done shrooms, and that come down is a long one. I still had thoughts going around in my mind and felt slightly high, in the zone.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheOneartist Like that feeling left once I finally fell asleep at like 2 in the morning and woke up the next day. And I had ingested the shrooms at like 3 or 4 PM.

    Acid lasts even longer than shrooms, so it definitely had an effect on Brian Wilson.

  • Marilyn Monroe... <3

  • I have always loved this song

  • Imagine you are just 15 years old and you hear this for the first time on the car radio on your way to a teen beach party . And you are totally blown away! Fast forward to 2011 and you are still bown away,

  • @BeachBoysJanDean1 Lucky.

  • ever

    

  • WEST COAST!!

  • why do all the good ones have to die early...

  • @Ameh1 I suggest everyone read a little bit about Norma Jean. Yes, she was beautiful and had a feminine physique, unlike today's models, but she should only be pitied--not respected. Norma cheated on her husband while he was serving in the military, divorced him simply because she wanted to be famous, worked as the personal sex servant of an aging studio head, had so many, many abortions she couldn't have children, was rude and horrible to work with...out of room, sorry...look it up if you wish.

  • i knew this song as a child,and i was born in 91!lol.i thank my parents for playing music of all decades while i still lived with them :)

  • is it me or did girls have bigger hips back then?

  • That was bad... I look for California Girls and get Kary Perry... What happened to this world?

  • @wibbelern No shit right?

  • @wibbelern The fact that you misspelled her name made it more hilarious. It accentuates the fact that artists today aren't worth remembering.

  • @wibbelern alot of things

  • @wibbelern It is a sacrilege to all music that does not suck that Katy Perry shows up before this. This song is 46 years old, and it still resonates. Perry's song is going to be like some crap by Menudo or Hansen or the Backstreet Boys.

  • Rush Hour 2

  • Beach boys are so smoove.

  • smoove?

  • I'm at norms in Westwood LA, just got a breakfast, didn't sleep tonite, now i keep on watchin this in loop, i love Marilyn and the song too, just love, and just lol as well cuz u know when u're too tired u keep on lol for nothing

  • CalIFORNIA

  • MM is the quintessential All-American Girl but she doesn't fit this hit song. Sorry, I'm not buying into your video tribute. That's not to say I don't think she's gorgeous. It was the California girls of the early Sixties that inspired this hit song by the Beach Boys. I lived out there in Los Angeles at the time the song was popular. I know what I'm talking about.

  • what boner shattering images

  • the beach boys need to work on their geography. it always seems like people on the coasts are horrendous at geography

  • I'm from the midwest but I used to live in California. I'm a midwestern girl by birth, and a California girl in my heart.

  • I have no opinion of this video.

  • Has anyone heard of "CAROLINA girls"... now thats a good song. (:

  • @holistergal88 Ha. You wish. Carolina is about as popular as saggy pussy.

  • @kushie002 Why are you talking about yourself?

  • I remember my dad and I used to sing this in the car together. Gotta' love the Beach Boys:)

  • 25 people have never actualy been to califonia

  • The world has always pretty much sucked to one degree or another. It's when people forgot music was an ESCAPE to a different plane that modern music was created. Now it's all about "keeping it real" instead of creating an attitude and "good vibrations". Reality TV, reality music, reality art, realistic video games. People have forgot what creativity is all about.

  • I'm a California girl. And so is my friend Katie. For she was supposed to be born there but then they're future house exploded...... so now they live in the island of misfit toys...... nearby malta.... and they have a maltese. And I live in California in LA and i take the five minute drive to san diego every day!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • Great song immaculately performed! A wonder work of art and nature -- as was Marilyn. Thanks for uploading, Albert.

  • the lower classes are dopey because their parents bring them up that way. their parents are dopes, their parents before them were dopes. It all goes back to the fact that dopes do not approve of education. I am, of course, excluding Special People from my observations in pubs and back street in Blaw Clee City, Southern Ireland, and rundown jungles in London. The parents are TERRIFIED their kids will bringhome and EDUCATED person thereby making them feel inferior. That's whythey're dopes

  • @squirell1952 You're a dope.

  • Even though Marilyn Monroe came from a deprived background, she wasn't as dopey as people said she was. If she had been dopey, she would have had twenty kids by the time she was twenty. No, Marilyn's trademark was her empty-headness

    She had her own business called Marilyn Monroe Productions, you know! Dunno how many flicks her company produced. A bit like Goldie Hawn who plays Dopey Dora on screen but is a hard-headed businesswoman off screen. Dopes relate

    to dopey onscreen characters!

  • Take THAT, Katy Perry.

  • it's funny that the band which exemplified the california sound so precisely came from the midwest..

  • Good Job!!! I wish she was still alive though~

  • i love Rush Hour

  • different california back then

  • When I become an actress... I'm going to be a California Girl !!!

  • great, now i want to go to Disney's California Adventure again.... i miss paradise pier

  • I WANNA BE IN CALFORNIA RIGHT NOW

  • milf-ness

  • I LOVE THIS! : ) I am not a California Girl but I love this song and I love Marilyn. All the pics were good except the one towards the end where she was wearing that funny wedding dress and veil.

  • Ive just had an Epiphany, I closed my eyes when I listened to this and I think i'm in love.

  • I'm not quite sure what the connection between Marilyn Monroe and The Beach Boys is. She died at the very time (August 1962) when The Beach Boys were just becoming nationally known.

  • @southwriter

    The Beach Boys and Marilyn Monroe are both Californian icons.

    Beach Boys represent the Californian sound. Marilyn Monroe the

    friendly and beautiful Californian girl and the Hollywood image.

  • @albertdiner Very well stated and I thank you, friend, for acknowledging the (late) superb Marilyn Monroe in the manner you did. May God truly bless you wherever you are.

  • @albertdiner Since when did Marilyn Monroe represent California? I always thought of her to be more like a city girl / New York jetsetter sort of person.

  • @albertdiner marilyn monroe is the image of the typical hollywood slut :D

  • @southwriter who cares? just enjoy it anyway, she was a legand and so were the beach boys.

  • @southwriter Who cares, shes hot.

  • How come all of Marilyn's beach atire and sportswear looked like girdles?

  • skip to 25

  • eh no more like the praire.

  • We California girls rule! Always have, always will!

  • Back when girls look like girls!

    Nice leggs, butt and calves... in the gym the other day a woman told me; "Oh my god look at my leggs, they are so buff, I hate them!", then I told her; "If you want to attract healthy heterosexual men, have those legs, but if you want to attract some naruto anime characters then starve yourself so you don't have any figures".

    Why do women buy the modern "style"... It's more like "NO-style"... I want healthy, meaty girls who smile wide :P!

  • love tht i live in california when anyone who doesn't kinda wishes they did..

    yea i have to work my ass off to live in this expensive state but hey it worth it :)

  • Regardless of this song, the best ladies are found on the east coast.

  • The 21 people who don't like this video are not californian girls...

  • @TheLucas936 Uh, I was born is California, I don't "LOVE" the vid, Just "sort-of like it" So.. HA!

  • The mid-west farmers daughters really make you feel alright

  • I'm not sure whether I've always understood the song wrong but to me the song is about the beach boys wanting that all US girls were where they are - in California. Because there they could see them in their bikinis AND be near them. That's how I understood it - it's not about Californian girls being the best girls :)

  • 19 people like the katy parry song 

  • The Beach Boys and Marilyn, shall I say no more! Great video, thank you!!!!

  • I love this song and I love Marilyn....and yes I am a CA girl. I live in ID now but whenever I hear this song it puts a smile on my face! There's nothing like a California girl!

  • i'm gonna kill 18 mother fuckers!

  • thumbs up if you liked this CALIFORNIA GIRLS The Beach Boys MM images

  • THe beach shots were not in California. They were taken on the most beautiful beaches in the lower 48. Long Island, Tobay Beach to be exact.

  • @WizardsMachine

    Yes, I think you are correct. At least the girl is Californian.

  • @WizardsMachine

    California beaches suck... (Im from CA) there all cold...

  • @WizardsMachine yer right ! and we DO have some of the most beautiful beaches in all the world, the City-idiots, OR citiodits nonwithstanding. ha ha ha

  • @WizardsMachine lol im from li...:3 i only go to jones though

  • @WizardsMachine but the point is exactly what albertdiner said.. The Beach Boys and Marilyn Monroe are both Californian icons.

  • @WizardsMachine

    Northwestern Michigan beaches crush all who dare try and compete. ;)

  • GREAT VID I LOVE MM THUMBS UP 711

  • 17 ppl don't like hot, good looking girls! Poor bastards!

  • see how the girls had meat on their bones? and those mounds of fat on their chest. those are called tits. the "ideal" models of today have the fat content of a boy and their chest is as flat as an ironing board.

  • @coolpilot2001

    .... you got that right!!!

  • Thanks 4 putting the 2 together-The Beach Boys and Marilyn!!!! Great video.....Melinda as Marilyn Monroe@Melindajazzrus

  • Que maravilha de mulher!A Pin-Upque habita nossas fantasias!!

  • Katy Perry can suck it.

  • @damnyoustamos she has nice titts, that's about it

  • Glasgow Rangers champions

  • 2:00 what's going on there?

  • 2:33 It's as if showing your belly button was scandalous back then! lol

  • @SerendipitousJ It was actually. 

  • Beautiful montage and the Beach Boys are amazing:)

  • im na east coast. ty brain wls on fro thinking i dress nice. im twevle

  • Ooops! It's coming again! I think... the Music Producer.... of this Beach Boys music.... thinks that Marilyn Monroe was his parent, but cannot confirm it...... ah! That bastard Music Producer!

  • Heheh! I see all you comments about this video. Well, I think the person who was Paul McCartney of the Beatles might have redered this video and uploaded it.

  • Wish they all could be from Norman Oklahoma. Check it out, Go Sooners!!

  • amazing!!!!!

  • Marilyn Monroe??!? What happened to California girls?

  • 2 things wrong: this is NOT the same California- and Girls in the States look like they do in Europe

  • the katy parry song doesnt deserve to bear the same name as a beach boys song

  • This society and his times was a dream frustated,the happy and sun of this age is revenged in the 90´s for other american people, that say or talk that the other side of his times,and hard or darkness of this time,they have more exitos..

  • She was one of the first women ever to have a chin implant too xD

  • That guy in the Sox uniform at 1:58..So close but yet so far..lol

  • Marilyn Monroe was the Britney Spears of her time period.

  • The opening shot of LAX is the opposite of what comes to mind.

  • When I lived in Monterey CA in the 70's we drive around singing this song!

  • Marilyn was so beautiful, I'm so proud she was born a cali girl! (I'm from Cali too, hehe:p) Great Video!

  • so intent on looking at Marilyn I didn't pay any attention to the music

  • @TaCtIcSfT ignorance is Bliss eh? Boring? Whatever... im off to check out some porn, then i'll come Back and Blow all over your stupid little comment ya fuckin 60's nerd... How's that for Boring?

  • @brettg82au Your real comment seemed to end at "Whatever...". After that, you seemed to run out of ideas and just start insulting me and talking about the porn that you watch since you can't seem to find a real girl to love. I guess some people just have to be alone.

  • @brettg82au Not only that, but you call me a 60's nerd although you know nothing of my real life, and just from the one comment i say to you, it triggers your pissy meter in your head and makes you say ignorant things that make no sense.

  • you're accusing one of the most honouraBle presidents in america's history for Marilyn's death? OMG! That's a very Big accusation! Anything is possiBle, I gather that, But to pass judgement on a rumour Hollywood circulated, in order for hollywood jews to continue selling her memoraBilia, royalties, etc, for millions long after her death to suckers like you. just cuz you're a gullaBle sucker, no need to accuse JFK of conspiracies, when he was the one who actually stood up to the mafia & gangsters

  • hey GUESS WHAT WHO CARES ABOUT THE DRUGS AND HOW MENTAL SHE WAS. Just listen to the dang song. ya'll are so gay. (i have nothing against gay ppl btw)

  • Marilyn Monroe was murdered by Robert Kennedy, in collusion with his worthless brother, John. Sam Giancanna was also involved. Way after that, his brother, Teddy, murdered Mary Jo Kopechne. Her parents were given hush money and were moved in northern Pa. Ted also spent rehab time in a hospital in Summit, NJ (Fair Oaks).

  • @Petekiv how did you come up with that?

  • How sad it must be to be know that  "they" are just using you because you are beautiful

  • I always thought Marilyn was prettier with her old nose that she was born with...I thought that of my own mum too.

  • Fool. It was not suicide.

  • What a shithole California has become. Amazing to think it used to be nice.

  • Yeah the same way modern Hollywood tricksters pose as Mother Teresa but are a bunch of drug addled bed hopping self absorbed dunderheads.......that's why we admire them

  • The word "project" is a powerful word. Many people faulsly "project" in order to achieve what it is they want. Especially those in Hollywood. I understand what you're saying. I'm just saying they're f&^&g liars. They'd rather put on a happy face rather than tell people they're miserable.

  • "Marilyn knew how to project the joy of living, and happiness."

    Really? That's why she lived on anti-depressents and other psychotropic drugs, and attempted suicide several times, until finally succeeding? Learn to see things for what they are

  • @brettg82au

    Thanks for your note. I refer to the "public image" she projected.

    In that sense she was a great actress, since she was able to project

    a hapiness she seldom experienced.

  • @albertdiner thanks... 2 brettg82au... its hard enuff to fake it in the real world than it would be to fake it in hollywood... if its true about her depressed life...i'm glad she passed on what she did... it makes it possible for us too carry on ..............................­.

  • @brettg82au it is speculated that she tryed to comitt sucide and comitting suicide but it was never fully proven

  • @brettg82au

    very good answer!

  • @brettg82au Or, you could just see things for the happy things that they are and stop being such a boring,sad, person.

  • @brettg82au sometimes,the people that enjoys happiness and joy the most,are the most depressed ones

  • @brettg82au she was a Midwestern girl.i admire your attempt,but Marlyn Monroe is about AS FAR away from a real California girl as is humanly possible.

  • @bobo007xx

    Hate to disappoint you, but Marilyn ( born Norma Jean) was born in downtown L.A.

    on June 1, 1926. She's the epitome of the friendly girl
