David Lee Roth - California Girls (Music Video)

[Merle1987]

I wish I was there right now, the weather here sucks and hot broads are harder to find than a needle in a haystack.

[fidoshark]

DIAMOND DAVE ROCKS!

[MrJoeCortina]

Is that Frank Zappa at 1:00?

[normals]

my only question is, why is that dude carrying a Polish flag?

[aerycksmusic]

Knocked out again, and again, and again.

[jplolo316]

oh my gosh. shores of california makes so much more sense now!

[skipplet]

Van Halen definied rock in the 80s. This was the original MTV.

[shaniegirl909]

I want my old MTV back.

[SouthernFryd]

The 80's were the music video age...and David Lee Roth had a couple of the best. Love "Just a Gigolo" as well as this one. "Hot for Teacher" with Van Halen rocked too. They ruled the music video age...and I miss it.

Thanks for posting this.

[Lieu3C4]

Katy Perry has a phalanx of tuxedoes, a style David Lee, bless his soul, hardly ever shows when he's out. *Blows raspberry*

[TheUtubeGang]

[MegaGEMBUS]

[housedlame]

His bio is crazy and shows a man who loves life. Great singer. Few rock frontmen will have his charisma

[ScottACNohea]

David Lee Roth lights the Menorah.....Happy Hanukkah, Dave!

[ScottACNohea]

Two great 60's songs covered in the 80's: David Lee Roth here with "California Girls" and Luis Cardenas's rendition of Del Shannon's "Runaway".....

[tweepixie]

If you come to Toronto you will start singing "I wish they all could be South Korean!I wish they all could be South Korean!I Wish they all could be South Korean Men!"

[Garnacher]

So, Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan and Gregg Bissonette. I never would have imagined

[oldstuff]

Never heard this before. A really freaky cover of the Beach Boys classic! :-)

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Music from the 1980's was so good.

The music videos from that era were and are the best ever.

This is a great one.

George Vreeland Hill

[WepX123]

[perimeterpost]

the tourist smacking the baby at 0:38 is Jane Leeves from Frazier and Hot in Cleveland.

[djeec1976]

OMG, why do people keep commenting on the fact that the Beach Boys did this first? We know that, people! Jesus!

[kaizerkroenen]

...where Amanda Palmer got her inspiration from.

[ZackTheGopher]

[Zrinschchuck]

Happy birthday David Lee Roth :D

fuck Sammy, you're the best thing Van Halen ever got

[KyiKyo95]

Can you say "refuge in audacity"?

[durgadiva]

David had a LOT of creative control on this video. I was in it (the hooker on the tram). I went on to do 3 more. Yeah, Dave was pretty freakin' hot all right. And a very nice guy. This is exactly what videos of the time were about - craziness. And lots of boobs. Hey, it was the 80's. We had fun doing it too. Don't like it? Sucks to be you.

[MegaWolfsBlood]

Im sorry, but, DLR is SO freakin HOT!!!!!!

[mammothfilms]

How much creative control did David Lee Roth have? Who is to blame for this and Just a Gigolo?

[Zrinschchuck]

David's and Beach Boys' version kicks katy's ass

[BruunoLoopes]

Actual videoclips: Woman kissing woman, sex, shit. BRING BACK THE 80'S!

[nickii1976]

My arse is still in the 80's!

[StringsForScars]

And after the video, Dave had sex with all the women in the video, and beat the bodybuilder in an arm-wrestling contest.

[gfranc79]

This is what music videos was all about.

[AdamRyanKirkwood]

Those girls are perfect.

[gmansi]

@AdamRyanKirkwood the first blonde is amazing....

[TheSocialDistorter]

Nobody has the balls/guts to make a video like this today in 2011. And this video was made 25+ years ago.

[gfranc79]

I remember watching MTV every single day. Now I just skip the channel because they show nothing but garbage.

[BDollScream]

Man this song is awesome. A favorite from when I was a kid. Viva 80s music!

[cliptwingz]

I wonder if they gonna make my favourite collection in 3D!!

[04jhayes]

it a schame we don't have good music vids

[jamzusa]

What ever happened to playing MUSIC VIDEOS on MUSIC TELEVISION????????????!!!!!

[ArmyRangerish]

@jamzusa jersey shore happened its a terrible terrible thing

[jwizmerlin1]

@jamzusa whats music tv?



[skilletREDfan]

The red car was actually my uncle's. Just found this out a few days ago.

[tvpolice]

@skilletREDfan Well that red car was the inspiration for the song PANAMA.

GOOD OLE F*CKIN DAZE, THANK GOD I SURVIVED!!!! U Bierber fans will never know

[skilletREDfan]

@tvpolice Whut? I'm confused o-o I never said it was the inspiration of the video, I'm just surprised my uncles car was in a popular video.

[TheNewMusicNetwork]

look at all the blondes and real tits. this was the 80s

[theFEMAcampESCAPEE]

1+1 is 2. 2+1 is 3. 3+2 is 5. 5+3 is 8. 8+5 is 13. 13+8 is 21. 21+13 is 34. 34+21 is 55. David Lee Roth is also 55. This is no coincidence.

[LiamOlivera]

The only band that still stands today that has good enough music videos to back them up are Foo Fighters

[KennethKaniffFromCT]

Some trivia for ya: Carl Wilson from the Beach Boys actually does some of the backing vocals on this

[whitbyjet65]

@KennethKaniffFromCT More trivia: Dave Lee Roth's nostrils are the same diameter as a praying mantis's eye.

[tanshark9]

Best vid ever!! David Lee Roth as a tour guide, HELL YA!!

[strickkarl]

Linda, you're right...the '80's was the era of music videos...65-75 was the era of MUSIC!

[quailblaster]

@strickkarl Correction: 30-80 was the era of Music.

[strickkarl]

@quailblaster you could very well be correct!

[mashui99]

@quailblaster I'd say about 35-91

[mrjoerondo]

i dig em!!!!!!

[clayriggs]

Yeah!

[shezcurvi]

Love me some Diamond Dave. MTV you have crashed and burned.

[bekki650]

Silicon Valley (and NORTHERN Cali) forever!

[luokus]

MTV

[CristiGiambasu11]

to skip the intro 1:15

[JamalDOA]

When I was young I thought this was a Rod Stewart video. VH1 would show it all the time in the late 90s...like in documentaries and stuff...swore it was Rod Stewart.

[ttr0Oper]

and you wonder, why eddie kicked him out of the band... great stuff anyway:D

[Peoria3165]

Diamond Dave kicks it!

[bumblescum64]

123 assholes on the planet

[Velvetaeroplane1]

I love david lee roth related music videos that have comedy in them.

a band Escape the fate did a parody of Hot for Teacher in their Situations music video its pretty funny and a good song

[GolasgilEldemar]

@Velvetaeroplane1

Lol Sweet Find!

[lchngn]

'80s were the shit ! who's this beeaver person ?

[djeec1976]

Sorry Katy, there's only one true 'California Girls' and yours ain't it.

[AlterBridge4ever01]

@djeec1976 This one isn't either

[djeec1976]

@AlterBridge4ever01 Ok, so there's two, this and the Beach Boys. This is still a decent cover and is a good representitive of the 80's. Katy can bite it.

[AlterBridge4ever01]

@djeec1976 Word

[MegaWolfsBlood]

@djeec1976 ROCK ON MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[servantlol]

@djeec1976 Actually, there's two: This one and the Beach Boys' original.

[djeec1976]

@servantlol No shit... :P

[Lawgivaah]

@djeec1976

Excuse me if I am wrong but I think The Beach Boys are the makers of the only one true 'California Girls'.

[pedroziese]

@Lawgivaah That's a cover, dude.

[hallabalooza]

@djeec1976 Actually, that would be the Beach Boys ;-)

[wafflemonster2]

@djeec1976 Neither is this, The Beach Boys were the first. This is an extremely faithful cover though!

[hellafan]

David Lee Roth and The Dresden Dolls, perfect. watch?v=Awnjw36mNEs

[Billinois78]

I haven't seen this video in over 20 years and it put such a big smile on my face.

I wish they all could be 80's groupie girls.

[70Kenny]

Christopher Cross sang backup on this song.

[buttercupme]

MTV used to play the hell out of this video back in the day.

[marina090996]

Jane Leeves! ahaaa!

[Shadowknight16]

said it before and ill say it again...someone find me the number to Doc Brown so I can borrow his DeLorean for a little while...lol

[memejawd]

CA girls of the 80s were really hot!

[peterp21]

Which Beach Boys sang back-up on this cover? Was it Carl and Bruce?

[EVNYC]

@peterp21 The Van Halen bio "Everybody Wants Some" only mentions Carl Wilson singing on this.

[HaikuAutomation]

One of the silliest and entertaining showman of modern times for rock and roll.

[Ted6976]

I love California Girls.

They are soooooooooo hot.

[binka21]

don't put your hands on another man's pineapple

[bepicoispeci]

eighties!

[apriltwentyfirst]

DLR is the best California Girl in this video!

[umumgot]

2:17 that woman married a fat english builder 20 years older than her, and went on homes under the hammer

[shadster73]

When you work at a mining site in the Yukon, ANY girl is hot

[80swerethebest]

121 people have no clue.

[scorpion3168]

At 3 minutes and 45 seconds the chick with the glass's flips him off. Anyone else notice?

[yabetterbringit]

@scorpion3168 nope, youre all alone bro

[Multi80sfan]

what happened to the good old days?

back when the AMERICAN car manufacturers battled it out on the streets & when cops patrolled the streets once every blue moon?

[olpap53]

Texas girls are prettier than Kalifornia girls .... heheh

[cac1987fcb]

@olpap53 i agree, texas girls are hot =)

[LedZepHead100]

@olpap53 texas girls are hot but not hotter than california girls...

[avionicswirenut]

Look at how gorgeous the 80's girls are compaired to the jelly bellies of these times....Man I miss the 80's.........

[redrockerdude]

This video...Diamond Dave is king!!

[bikeshortz]

Back in those days most australians did not have mtv we relied on the abc for our music videos !!!!!!!

[setpunk12]

man, dave was the best

watching this now is still a lot of fun

[Death2Fanboys]

We used to have the best looking girls here in California. But now all we have are Ghetto queens, trailer trash, and single latina moms. My beloved Golden State is broken. How I wish there was a time travel machine and just go back to the 80s.

[sexykatie90]

thumbs up if you liked this David Lee Roth - California Girls (Music Video)

[Hunkola]

DIAMOND LEE ROTH = OWNS THAT SMELLY CUNT KATY PERRY

[peterp21]

@Hunkola Recognizing that this is a DLR video, but sad you would compare Katy Perry to him rather than to the Beach Boys, as if this wasn't a classic by them first, 20 years earlier.

[CrushedJustice]

David Lee Roth > Katty Perry

[memejawd]

uggh videos like this of songs older than 1990 and life back then make me sad...

they show people having a fun time back when times were good

and although we have all this cool technology now, nothing can make up for the life lost over the years by american society

[Peoria3165]

I love Diamond Dave...Great video!

[MsShan80]

Take me back....80's loved it!!!

[barmtrail]

You left out the island girls diamond dave!!!!

[luissanchezHD]

[KingxJamie]

@luissanchezHD 1980 ---- is a sad time



[MonroeRCK1]

@luissanchezHD check out our band you'll dig it ! help bring back rock and roll! MONROE

[hotmn4u]

[daswerkari]

[dankoleonne1]

cuando vendras a chile david?????????? eres fantastico!!!!!!!

[lindasuekristen]

No Kidding.  MTV and VH1 have changed drastically for the worse. The '80's was the era of music videos.

[bekki650]

@lindasuekristen and up to the mid-90's.

[ElyssaWinn]

@lindasuekristen "VH1 Classic" is awesome though

[hotboyollie]

[Born2Rock1987]
