    California Dreaming

    On such a Winters daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaay.

    Positively orgasmic.

  • why is this song so short :"(

  • What A Great Song!

  • so anyway, I was in hollywood just minding my own business.....

  • god i love this song so much 1 of the best tunes ever

  • The best song ever made.

  • Simple, yet pleasant to listen to.

  • @Trashfished Just so you know, that old rumor that Mama Cass choked to death eating a ham sandwich has been proven to be false about a week after she died. The ham sandwich by her bed was never touched, and the coroners report was simply that her heart quit. Yes, a heart attack. The coroner determined there was nothing obstructing her air passage at the time of her death. Do a little research before yucking it up over someones death based on a rumor.

  • @gman10911 Thank you! I can't believe the myth about Cass's death is still being perpetuated 38 years later. I'm reading a biography on her at the moment called: Dream a little dream; the life of Cass Elliot. I thought I was a fan but there was so much stuff I didn't know. The amount of people she effected was amazing.

  • Love it! So uptone!

  • my teacher played this song in class while everyone was working and when they heard this song there were comments like " what the hell?" or wtf or they were giggling about how it sounded funny. omgosh kids of my generation these days....:/

  • @toughcookie9800 , my teacher did thee same thinq .. iloved it .. they didn't " |

  • Can someone tell me if california dream is from the mamas and the papas or is it a cover of bobby womack's. I'm think its the mamas and the papas though.

  • I guess Mama Cass last words were " Yeah A Ham sandwich would be Groovy".

  • Glad to say I have the privelege to cover this in music :D

  • I come here because I love california and I search California in Youtube but I'm exited I KNOW THE SONG, is from an advert in spain.

  • Unforgettable song. It is so melancholic and dreamy, anyone can relate to it.

    "California dreamin', on such a winters day...!"

  • Was hearing this song when it was gloomy and drizzly outside. Totally a chillin song.... :D

  • After growing up with this song, it kinda sounds really dated now. So how come every time it comes on the radio I still crank it as loud as I can?

  • @atomicpunk48 isn't it interesting the way old fat cass and the skinny chick really made this group a success. the so called men just helped out y'know bringing in stuff from the truck, sweeping the stage doing the laundry etc.....its a real shame that a oversize ham sandwich took it all away!

  • @atfatw if you knew anything you would know it was heart complicatioons not a ham sandwich that took mama cass have some respect

  • @2toestimmy 'heart complications' heart competations' what wimpy ass nonsense FUHGEDABOUTIT!

  • @atfatw  You may be right. I don't know, I was a little young at the time. But wasn't John Phillips the one responsible for writing all their biggest hits? I'd give him a little credit.

  • @atomicpunk48

    John Phillips was the principle songwriter and arranger for their group. A gifted musican though, by all accounts--including his own--not an easy man to live with. His autobiography, Papa John, is hair-raising.

  • @4Topwood Thanks for the tip. I am a reader and if I get time, I'll have to try to find that one. I remember all the horror stories from the later part of his life. He died relatively young. 65 I think.

  • so much epicness in a song

  • it's cold here in Michigan right now

  • I have a 45 of this. It's one of my favorites, as well as the kinks, beatles, and hollies 45's.

  • CHUNGKING EXPRESS

  • california is a'n angel name for me and philadelphia too you'r have angel country usa

  • Love this damn song~

  • This song single-handedly increased Cali tourism by 50%.

  • @Fersomling Don't forget the other songs about Cali, Hotel California, Going to California etc.

    They had a strong impact on the tourism too lol

  • this music will never die!

  • 16 years old, and this is one of the greatest songs ever! keepin the oldies alive! :)

  • @KAYZMJFAN same, its nice that we're not letting old songs like this die out as they're still awesome pieces of music :D

  • @connorhobson1 hell to the freakin yes haha

  • Good quality recording. I wonder who the engineer was.

  • @Realtors60004 Toby, Fixed my car the other day.

  • I'd have loved to experienced the sixties, but am grateful this music is still around and available for me, a 90's kid, to love and appreciate.

  • People should rephrase it. They wish music nowadays was like what it used to be in the 60's etc :)

  • Cool song !!!

  • wish i was alive in 60s n 70s

  • Comment removed

  • Why does being born now suck??? We have all this music with such easy access...

  • @lilmiceman i agree. also if we lived in the 60's, we wouldn't be able to take pride in listening to songs like this, because everyone would be listening to it.

  • @LolaLavonda Fucking hipster, you should judge music on how audibly good it is, not how popular it is

  • @lilmiceman but we don't have the experience that came with that time

  • @lilmiceman I want to like your comment 1,000 times. You are so right

  • @lilmiceman yes my friend. you have the access to it, but unfortunately you didn't live it. Different outlook on it that way.

  • Comment removed

  • Damn...i'm in the wrong era.

  • all the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray. that pretty much describes where i am now.

  • Comment removed

  • The Stig's vegetarian cousin

  • It's all electronic...we're ALL phonies!!!

  • @1957skeeter I agree, and don't get me wrong, I like electronics, but I feel like they're taking over everything.

  • God why the heck did you send me to earth in the 90's instead of year 5000 where inmortality is going to be invented and life is going to be extremly easy

  • Hasn't youtube become such a typical substandard amerikan cunt of a company.

  • this old song characteristic... makes me fell better.. but saddly i've born in 90's =I 

  • anelisa broown ? 0:09

  • Mna if only i was born in 1950 i wont have to hear and bieber shit but this instead :D

    but for dat i need a time machine... andone got a youtube video for a toturial on a time machine?

  • @minerdude888 Youtube is your time machine

  • I remember sitting on the tarmac at Tan San Nhut, mid '69. Somebody had this on one of those portable cassette tape players. We were waiting for chopper to some shithole fire base near Plieku. He played this over and over. Don't know why i remember this, but every time i have heard this since i can remember the heat of that airfield. Must have been August.

  • @pjriordan1 wow,dont know why im telling you this but your comment moved me. you must have had interesting life,lots of memories and lived in a time thats been highlighted by many but only known by those who really lived it. x :)

  • Thumbs up if the Citroen advert brought you here!!

  • CALIFORNIA DREAMING IS RIGHT I WANT TO LIVE IN CAL.!

  • As a non native english speaker I always thought this song had a deep meaning and social critique. It's always been associated with anti-war songs and whatnot, very vietname era-esque. I'm sort of dissapointed it's about a dude missing his warm weather.

  • A popular song by The Mamas & the Papas, it was first released in 1965. The song is #89 in Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The lyrics of the song are about a man in a cold winter landscape longing for the warmth of California.

    In Winter1966 I found myself longing for CA sun; I was in Detroit and it was COLD. I had grown up in Anaheim--back when it was full of orange groves and real people. Miss that.

  • @mangledinal wow,u were so lucky to have experienced that life,if only the world was still like that in the posotive ways. people tried hard to make a difference but were brought down and unheard. my dad lived here in edinburgh in those days and really believed in the hippys and those who wanted simpler,peaceful lives. maybe through listening to him and his music, id always wished we lived in america,haha the fantasy of an ideal life that once was. x

  • @jackbob4 Thank you for your response. I was lucky to live in CA in the late 50s and up to June 1966. Disneyland opened in 1955 and we moved to Anaheim in Oct. 1956. I remember orange groves everywhere and the smelt pots used to warm the trees in winter. I could see the top of Sleeping Beauty's castle from my bedroom window. In the summer, every nite, Disneyland put on the most fantastic fireworks display. We weren't far from the beaches or from the mountains. Michigan was different.

  • PURE FUCKING TALENT!!! The music back in the 60's & 70's is so much FUCKING BETTER & MORE SOULFUL then that shit being made now! No comparison.

  • Luckily I was born in California 6 years later and have lived here since. The state is not the Golden State it was a few decades ago, however.

  • I remeber my dad saying he moved from California to New Jersey when he married my mom in 1967, the year this song came out. He said he could really relate to the song, as New Jersey would seem bitter cold to a CA native. He moved back to California shortly after they moved there - so my mom was forced to follow. Now when I here this song can't help but think of that.

  • dada encore cover song at the  Red Devil Lounge in SF last week. SWEET Love

  • Pat Barry you legend!

  • Why do people listen to "Lil Wayne" when they can listen to this?

  • @WizWayneDrake1 doesnt your user name kind of contradict that haha i agree though

  • EAT'n'PARK

  • believe it or not, Dana Owens does a really good version of this song.

  • pat barry and mirko cro cop sent me here

  • they don't make them like this anymore

  • @ProductionsDiDi very true.

  • that was their life ?

  • can't beat the colors painted by the recording techniques of the 60's. For anyone saying todays music doesn't compare please look up the band Papercuts, they capture these analog vibes perfectly.

  • i love this song : 3 the good old days... <3

  • Touch meeeeeeee

  • these fucking winters are killing me. California dreaming mother fuckers!

  • EPIC

  • Absolute masterpiece, especially the singing, evokes a mood like no other song.

    No surprise it is the all time top 100.

  • Don't tell me you'd want to live in the sixties when you commented with your iPod, you phonies.

  • @HoboHero13 It doesn't matter if they did or not, what they are pointing out (including me) is that you can use technology because its there, but not make it your life. If you didn't have all this infrastructure based on technology like in the 60's, you obviously wouldn't be using technology, but you wouldn't care because you just would't. I am only a teenager, but I do agree with the fact that this society is getting increasingly ignorant.

  • @HoboHero13 I would be willing to give anything to live in the past. Don't hold me to it, but i think id rather live in the past rather than the future. peace and love

  • @ovoxox "Past is a homeland of our soul" (Heinrich Heine)

  • @HoboHero13 Steve Jobs was a hippy

  • @HoboHero13 yeah because they had computers and the internet and youtube in the 60's...

  • @HoboHero13 or with your computer.. ._.

  • @HoboHero13 I'd give that up. It makes people fat and gives them cancer.

  • @HoboHero13

    err well you must have commented with a laptop?

  • @NormbrettaMod err well derpy derp shut up?

  • @NormbrettaMod Clearly, you misunderstood my point. Of course I commented with a laptop!

  • @HoboHero13

    NO. how about YOU misunderstood MY POINT ???

  • @gloriahwapatha Oh haha only because this was in my music exam today and we had to say what instument was playing the introduction so I wanted to make sure:P

  • what instrument plays the introduction?

  • @redsmarties1471 Guitar? :P

  • @redsmarties1471 v=dN3GbF9Bx6E its a guitar with one of those things that clamp the strings short. i thought it might be a sitar for a  moment, but obviously not!

  • God... Why the heck did you send me to earth in the 90's :@ :@

  • @FillionDollarSmile So you can carry on the legacy of great music like this by listening to it and sharing it with other people your age?
