Albert Hammond - It never rains in southern California + text

[liegone]

Do I have any chance to sing it with my choir? :D

[16924fps]

Been one of my favorites since it came out.

[201248tan1]

Muy hermosísima canción deAlbert. Me llena de bellos recue4rdos de mi juventud. Con lindas chicas muy bonitas y respetuosas. Nunca comparadas con las de ahora, que aman solo a lo material.

[iconaclastor]

This is the best version on You Tube. Great Song to dance to or just mellow out to.

A classic for sure. All ages like great music.

[030terror]

Thumbs up <<if the movie : Stuck on You., (Matt Damon) Brought you here!

[1991misssunshine]

I'm addicted to this song! Can't stop singing it.

[xXsanitariumXx]

@AquaAngel374 Why do people always do this "I love this song and I'm 13" shit all the time? Who gives a fuck if you're young and like old music.

[terenas1986]

@AquaAngel374 no, that would be normal...

[junkgurra]

omfg one more comment omg i'm 13 and i like this is it weird i gonna shoot my head of

[ou812also1]

@AquaAngel374 I don't think it's weird at all! Classic music always sounds good to young and old.

[ou812also1]

Really clean sound for a 70's tune. Good job uploading!

[47midnight]

@AquaAngel374 not at all, im 20 and i heard this up on my college campus the other day and i liked it from the start

[westernwizard13]

@AquaAngel374 No, I'm also 13 and I like this.

[1IWasBornIn1973]

Good song !!!

[suziQ27]

[zeb123]

[Kimberly791980]

I love this I'm 31 I grew up listing to this great stuff in the 80s

[jorgybear42]

@AquaAngel374 No, it's strange that there are 13 year olds who DON'T like this ! ;-)

[NorwayAnonymous]

I got really into songs like this when I was 6 or seven.. at the moment i'm listening to black/heavy metal and stuff like that, but have to admit that nothing beats this.. now i'm 15 :)

[babyimawantyou]

The 70s Were Something That I Wished I Could Have Expireanced But Oh No I Gotta Live Here In The 2000's

[jakeinlondon]

@AcquaAngel374; @TheOptimus1993 Just goes to show great songs have timeless relevance and appeal, especially when the lyrics really speak to some universal issues.

[x2infinityandbeyondx]

*looks out window* ummm... lol

[TheOptimus1993]

@AquaAngel374 Not too weird. I'm 18 and I love these songs. Happy Holidays to you

[GibbyGibbyGibb]

The 70s are unbeatable for music. THE best decade ever!!

[bananaboy103]

@AquaAngel374 good for you son

[comaiou]

My dad always play the song like this since I was very young, and now I like it. ;)

[ddesjman444]

@AquaAngel374

Nope! I'm 17 and I grew up on this great era of music. So much better than most of the music on the market today (hence "most.")

[MrSlendermanxLove]

@AquaAngel374 Nope. I'm 14. I love classic rock

[BlacktulipSF]

wish they could still make those songs nowadays

[2WolfEver]

ขอบมากกกกก ขอบคุณครับขอบคุณ :)

[tonianka1985]

@AquaAngel374 Not weird at all, keep up the good work! I was (and am) the same way.

[YakosIoakim]

@AquaAngel374 Yes!

[norskeez]

@AquaAngel374 if we compare to other kids your age yes! compared with the rest of the worlds population no! : D

[sharrelgoh]

Thank you for sharing..the young teenage years memories come flooding back...was 14 and today songs like this still loved... thanks..:)

[MrRayg1969]

[Randy71138]

George Harrison meets the two guys who wrote the theme song to M.A.S.H. and Alice Cooper contributes some of the changes from his song, "You and Me." LMAOOOO!!!

[ivopoulsen]

@AquaAngel374 It's not weird you just have a good taste in music. Check out some of Albert Hammond's other songs.

[030terror]

[gaslave]

Lenguages are different horisonts,

but poetry is the same sun crashing its soul against your endless view ...

Thankyou from Chile

[Nalac96]

5 people got rained on in California....

[flugonuts]

@Nalac96 Unlikely, it never rains there.

[Transitionclan]

@flugonuts It is figurative, you know that right?

[flugonuts]

@Transitionclan It's discomforting to know that there is someone out there that didn't understand that what i said was a joke.

[sandymystique]

I need to go back!!!

[babyimawantyou]

California Is A Place Of Free Spirited Times I Need To Go There



[danifortravel]

GREENBERG

[KamuRolf]

The tune makes me wanna travel to Cali!

[1989NikeMcfly]

I love my beautiful California the Golden State.

[westernwizard12]

i live in californiia

[gizzmo54]

GREENBERG.

[ACC2410]

So Cal is the greatest place on Earth. 2 bad the taxes and housing prices forced my family to move out. I would do anything to get back there!!!

[cbimbi]

thanx for info, my daughter loves the strokes

[fr0zenbear]

It poured on 4 people...

[mimilopo77]

This song was in my parent's wedding.

It's so beautiful

Maravillosa!!!!!

[chuncky1993]

Four people don't believe that it never rains in california

[JasmineStarshine]

O.O This was the closing song for Veronica Mars. :'( That makes me love this song so much more. Veronica Mars is my lifeee <3

[averin91]

[blockcl]

Sang this one in a high school pops concert in Viroqua in fall of '75. Whistled the instrumental parts with the band. Either really dumb or really brave or both. lol

[TheKulka74]

[babyimawantyou]

[peterpib2]

@babyimawantyou There's one right below you mate.

[gambitx1985]

Don't like this song a friend ask me to listen to this,waste of time.......

[babyimawantyou]

who were the 3 little bastards who disliked this song!

[leochik2]

@babyimawantyou i don't understand why youtube has a dislike button in the first place... why so much negativity geeez

[lsmjan]

@babyimawantyou Tolerance, Dear. It's a matter of a opinion.

[TheLymus]

@babyimawantyou They've multiplied o.O

[MrKlapask]

@babyimawantyou lol, maybe they live in a place where it always rains :)

[ddesjman444]

@babyimawantyou

I think people who post videos should have the option to disable Like/Dislike bars. Only companies needing consumer opinion would value this function anyway.

Video like this don't need it, since only people who like such videos are the ones who watch them.

[TheMistermuppet]

i listen to this in my van when i hunt prostitutes

[kctimelady1]

To all those saying that the song doesn't make sense because it actually does rain in California - LISTEN TO THE LYRICS! The entire point is that it POURS in California, though popular talk would lead people to believe that it hardly ever rains.

[victorseaful]

there aren't any fucking married fags either.

[2kwolfgang]

I'm sitting in my house in LA right now and guess what.... it's raining! You lied to me Albert!

lol

[mynon42]

@2kwolfgang I guess you weren't paying attention to the words.. he says it never rains, it POURS.

[guzmane1987]

let it be summer once AGAIN!! ABOUT TIME!!

[ThePhilly76ersfan]

kinda funny cuz they had floods before christmas

[kctimelady1]

@ThePhilly76ersfan Listen to the lyrics. The point is that it POURS in California.

♫It never rains in California

But girl don't they warn ya

It pours, man it pours♫

[ThePhilly76ersfan]

@kctimelady1 OK then.... you don't have to be a smartass. Stupid bitch.

[kctimelady1]

@ThePhilly76ersfan Hey, I wasn't trying to be a smartass - all I did was explain. Seriously, overreact much? Geez. Try to explain something to someone, and they call you names.

[Mrplainz]

i knew a man that got me into radio the first time i heard this song.

[babyimawantyou]

First time i heard this was on the movie my girl

[o56kid]

Why is it soo good??

So many goose bumps. i guess it works best if you love CA

[o56kid]

Why is it soo good??

So many goose bumps.

[glamourboy89]

It always rains here in niagara falls i wish i could be in california

[kctimelady1]

@glamourboy89 Listen to the lyrics... the point is that all the talk is rumor. It POURS in California.

[beesty07]

incredible piece of music/artistry

[lorenzo152857]

the father of my hero :)

[cacam01]

@lorenzo152857 Julian Casablancas rules!!!! jk

[lorenzo152857]

@cacam01 hahaha yeah!!!! LOL

[cbimbi]

@lorenzo152857 who is his son?

[jmcandrew7]

@cbimbi His son is Albert Hammond Jr. one of the guitarists in The Strokes.

[geebeeman1]

Near the beginning, I believe the lyrics should be: "well, they ain't true, sure ain't true", not "rang true etc."

[lordlight1000]

does it never rain in southern california

[farloo100]

I luvs it

[mrzachattackf]

[realmoneyforyou]

[cocacola1645]

i just luv this song <3

[proudaddy1980]

out of work im outta my head,im underloved,im underfed,I wanna go home!

[TheSkiBum84]

Just sent to my friends from New York and New Canaan, CT, they are complaining about the snow, they think we are sitting on the beach out here right now, little do they know! :)

[TheSkiBum84]

Just sent to my friends from New York and New Canaan, CT, they are complaing about the snow, they think we are sitting on the beach out here right now, little do they know! :)

[fluffydanny]

When it rains,it pours.

[LASongwriter]

It pours, man, it pours! So true these last few days.

[VCthaGOATdunker]

Sorry but the guy in the song sounds like a total failed loser. He thought that he would make it big easily after making such a big sacrifice to move to Cali to make it as a star. He then failed and lied about it to people? haha.

[Storm331]

@VCthaGOATdunker actually he wrote the song BEFORE he moved to California. So the "total failed loser" theory doesn't fit. And the song almost was song of the year.

[OriahLivingston]

@VCthaGOATdunker I think we all should hear a song by all people like yourself, if you can write one, then if criticism awaits you, embrace it, since you all are good at giving it you can take it too

[VCthaGOATdunker]

@OriahLivingston You guys are misunderstanding me. It's a great song ang very well written.

I just get pissed off by the character described in the story.

[cocacola1645]

@VCthaGOATdunker how is the character described? i dont get it

[proudaddy1980]

@cocacola1645 The songs describes the failure of an aspiring artist,who left his family,his friends and his hometown in pursuit of a dream of making it big in Hollywood. Now he is lonely, hungry and penniless since "it never rains in southern california" for him.

[cocacola1645]

@proudaddy1980 ?

[izziredhead]

@VCthaGOATdunker no...what he is saying, is that sometimes, you leave it all behind thinking that you will be able to make a life for yourself somewhere else...he thought that California was that place, after everyone raved about it...turns out, he wasn't able to, but he was too ashamed to admit it, his pride was hurt....but surely it's better to live with regrets of trying something than never doing anything and looking back on it thinking "if only I had had the guts to do that "!!!

[Burnouts3s3]

Thumbs up if you checked this song, and it's raining in SoCal right now.

[lilazngurl563]

@Burnouts3s3 more like pouring 24/7...at least for the past 3 days it has been

[XbleedingXmascaraXD]

@Burnouts3s3 haha it's raining right now :D when yesterday it was soooo hot!

[beesty07]

true music. i thank anyone responsible for this recording.

[rentslave]

Looking at national radar,it looks as if So.Cal is the only place in the country where it is raining.

[fooloof]

it's raining in SoCal right now.

[wxyz483]

Im in sunny "Southren California" right now... enjoying beautiful Beverly Hill's & Rodeo Drive last night,such an amazing & beautiful place... I escaped the snow storm back in the Mid-West that hit over this past weekend on the 12th of Dec 2010 back in Michigan/Ohio.... Thanks for uploading this song

[tojinmah]

0Axwell0----are you Serbian?

[gulola]

@tojinmah you're asking because of the "Dziękuję za obejrzenie" at the end? It's non serbian, it's polish :)

[scottydukes]

[happysadgirl2]

tą piosenką kończy się mój ulubony serial Weronika Mars ;)

[TnseWlms]

I first heard this song on a Lufthansa jet flying from Frankfurt to Vienna. After the song ended, the announcer said "And that was the American hit 'It Never Rains in Southern California.' Is that true? I don't know. I've never been there."

[pantherproof]

I saw the film "Greenberg," and this song goes so well with the movie. Brings back memories, too.

[freeshot232]
