Californication Intro, beautiful!

[EenRollendeSteen]

I can't help but notice that this sounds very much like the intro of Incredible Bongo Band - Apache. give it a listen.

[Vilipp1993]

much too short -.-

[DeathStar9903]

best, show, ever..

just cant describe how  good:)

[julianfromholland]

Watching X-files will never be the same again.

[Ollay245]

sooooo so good :D

[fairuzalea]

what is the name to this theme tune and who did it please ;)

[florinelooo]

0:20-0:22 what's that effect?

[zkira67light]

@florinelooo It's just a little overdrive,maybe some phaser.

[iRanntt]

kinda hard to pick up the phone with this as your ringtone... true story.

[SpokeBASS]

Name ?

[xiniks]

the barely audible brass part sounds familiar....

[pranovaaa]

How can I get this song as an mp3? Is there somewhere I can download this from?

[Deadfox7777]

they should have used RHCP

[ekutianski1]

@Deadfox7777 bitch, please. RHCP's Californication is for pussies compared with Hank Moody. And man, I really like RHCP...

[Deadfox7777]

@ekutianski1 this music sucks

[Brain69222]

@Deadfox7777 you sir, are an idiot.

[Euclides287]

Hank Moody is my fucking role model!

[Gryffo7]

It's seldom I actually listen through an enjoy an intro to a tv show every single time.

[boxman09]

I rock out, with my cock out during this shit.

[rougewillow]

I hope one day I will be able to visit California at least once in 1/2 years. AMEN

[march23s]

just makes me wanna go to Cali ,L.A

[shade112211]

instant boner

[buzinaocara]

This series is ok, but this intro is just Beutifull. I wish there was a 4 minute long or so version of that song.

[lionel1166]

Hear it when I'm stoned makes me an erection:)

[lionel1166]

לשמוע את זה כשאני מסטול עושה לי זקפה :)

[notyoume100]

Imagine this: sitting on the sea shore with a cocktail in your right hand, held by just 3 fingers while the other two are holding a cigarette, an umbrella above you and one hell of a handsome guy next to you available for all of your little desires. Sun in the sky , girls rollerblading and this song. I want this ! badly!

[marcoadib]

@notyoume100 you just described my dream.

[Jackaars00]

Just beer, weed, sun and this song

CANT STOP LISTENING THIS!

[halloheyman]

I need another season HBO u HAVE to make another season come on we need it dont let us get moody

[SHIFTERnight]

Love the song, but wouldn't it make more sense to have californication from RHCP has the theme song?

[AresVolta]

The theme from Kids In The Hall would fit perfectly with this intro.

[RedlightExpressMovie]

best fucking show XD

[AMpr0d]

i love these super 8 shots they do for the intro and for alot of transitions.

[RastamanBadBoy1]

Best fukin theme song , try to jerk off while listening this it is awesome feeling

[qualung]

@RastamanBadBoy1

Haha, dude!

[brooklynboyPL]

@RastamanBadBoy1 45 second only! I want jerk off and listening this song all my fuckin day!

[fortesque]

@RastamanBadBoy1 haha

[TomAraya23]

@RastamanBadBoy1 I once was getting a BJ, and i was listening to one of chilli peppers californication intros, but the BJ was so god damn good that i accidently clicked on this intro by accident, and yes dude it was pretty good:) Thanks

[toby099]

@RastamanBadBoy1

thats fucked up

[NeyronFiction]

@RastamanBadBoy1 by that jerking off coment, you ruined the meaning of all video... asshole

[RastamanBadBoy1]

@NeyronFiction I don't know what u talking about I just give u the best way of consuming this shit and u are attacking me u should be grateful to me maybe even send me u r girlfriend to jerk me off to show me how grateful u are

[Kaka2122]

@RastamanBadBoy1 I have the same feeling:D When song is over im listen this again ;) Why its only theme song? Why they cant do full song :d

[YoshiHimself]

masterpiece! btw... does anyone have the tabs or chords or something?

[Jewellzz]

Californication and entourage has the best muthafuckin intros.I Love this show

[my8millennium]

Not bad, not amazing. Now Dexter, that show has a heck of an intro.

[CrazYMadarfakaR]

we are not talking about arts here... this is a 44 second intro from a show... so don't get all intelectual over an intro.

[himymizer]

Hank loves Karen.

[Deejeezy405]

Gotdamn it I love this shit.

[Eussama]

Previously on Californication :D

[ARebelos]

it reminds me of: The Rolling Stones - Monkey Man...

[rockinloveswebpet]

@ARebelos

Wow, nicely heard!

[BlomPaij]

fantastic intro!, It makes wanna move to LA right away and pretend to live the life of Mr. Moody and Mr. Runkulus Maximus! :D

[sethgraves]

i looked this up to see if anyone thought this looks as terrible as i think it does. apparently i'm alone? this looks like it came out of an art school in the early 90's and got a C+.

[Graenelolz]

@sethgraves But this is the whole point: it doesn't always have to be very glamorous and flashy, this series shows the simple things of life & the dark side of california.

So there's nothing that would fit better into this, than those simple, cool recordings, filled with little jokes and fast-paced scenes to show that life itself can be empty, dirty, ugly, depressing and most of all: beautiful.

[LcdNunes]

@sethgraves - lrn2 rock'n'roll, man! it's not about fancy stuff.. it's about pure sounds. A+ are for pop-stars and retarded stuff that won't last 2 weeks.

[sethgraves]

@LcdNunes it doesn't have to be fancy to not look like shit. from aesthetic standpoint, this is uninspired and lazy - and the show deserves better. that's all.

[LcdNunes]

@sethgraves - about the video.. lrn2 super8, VHS and video "supports" from the 80's and beginning of the 90's. HD is good, but it's just not that cool when we're talking about arts.

[sethgraves]

@LcdNunes that's just it. this isn't even Super 8. it's standard def digital with prefab fake-ass Super8 effects. my had they actually shot it on super 8, that would have helped. even if they were going for an intentionally dated effect, they could have at least done it right. my problem isn't with the lo-fi-ness of it all, my problem is that it's lazy, it's lame, it looks like shit and there's really nothing artistic about it whatsoever.

[LcdNunes]

@sethgraves - oh, yes. I can see what you're pointing out. Kinda right, indeed. But I see the show anyways, lol. maybe they tried to be so "pain in the ---" like Hank and just done it wrong.. who knows? lol!

cheers.

[blackcat74a]

Best opening ever.

[laufer2371]

OMG ! I love this intro!!

[slyboots47]

does anyone know how to make this lomo/super 8 effect in after effects? particulary the "sunburn" at the beginning and 0:15

[alforje]

damn this is good

[sampcops]

Damn like its not just an simple intro,I mean its an art ! God dammit,fuck I fucking love this intro !!!!!

[Braatwurscht]

the only theme song that i bang my head to each and every single time.

[mariablatter]

@Braatwurscht

word.

[marvelbox]

awesome ringing tone XD

[crystal186]

this is my ringtone!

[calgaryunderground]

This is fun as hell on the drums!

[Deejeezy405]

Gotdamn it, I wish this was longer.

[crespo1389]

Somebody have this song to send me??

[kanki666]

Really great series :P I usually only watch this drunk just to promote it in my own way.

[ekserchina]

Where the hell are the tabss.ss..ss..sss...seriously.­..but the REAL tabs. I'm not as musically inclined as some people to do them myself nor do I have time. I depend on YOU (real musicians). Have pity for me. Gimme tabs!!! (PLEASE?)

[MrScr3wy]

This always felt a bastardized Phish song.

[mau78910]

0:14-0:19

[TheIvanners]

check out this song... is a looks like: Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks

[NewYorkCityTaxi]

this is now my ringtone, its perfect, to bad its so short!

[fizzledizzle12]

@NewYorkCityTaxi haha was looking to it for the same purpose

[OsirisAD]

This song always gives me a Shadowy Men vibe.

/watch?v=ebHfMRw--sE

[XFILESfanchannel]

Kepp clicking 0:12 over and over!

[warcloown]

I love this series bro, but this intro has aids.

[xXSpartan150Xx]

Aw! I'm so disapointed to find this is such a short song :/.

[rotembub1]

bass tabs any1?

[zidanewewe]

niiiiice music. ive listened to it many times here and i always get excited near the end thinking an episode is about to start.... i cant wait 7 days for 22 minutes! iam just gona let a whole season go by before i start watching any of it

[karolpokrzy]

kick ass song

[BerryJoy]

i like the new video of this where he's flipping the bird and the skateboard cam at the end.

[dariusdareme]

man i love this intro

[SixtySeventh]

What's the song called that's played during the episode recaps? not Hank's theme, the other one...

[LolzNdolz]

A truly great song! Guys, it's not as tricky as i seems, it's all in the C#-bluesscale. You'll figure it out, just listen :)

[oggole123]

bogumiłek to cwelek :>

~wunderek :D



[VoodooPolitico]

WHY does everything that has to do with LA or California, show a shot of Randy's Donuts? Its not near the beach. Its in a SHITTY area of town. The donuts there SUCK ANYWAYS. The coffee is fucking nasty. Its a low rent nasty donut shop. They are a dime-a-dozen in LA. Randy's isnt "cool" or "trendy". The place SUCKS. The sign is "iconic"...whatever. There is alot more shit in LA that is "iconic" that that nasty place. Heck there is ANOTHER sign like that in South LA also.

[stealth313]

I want to move to California where the sunrise is beautiful and the sunset is awesome :-)

[zyemcarasophia]

look up tabs for Moneky Man - Rolling Stones. same song but faster

[mrkennedy4321]

watch?v=cW9yQvSEuBI

Check that one out, its like this song!! but longer

[BEASLAND000]

why isnt RHCP in the intro? watch?v=YlUKcNNmywk would have been a better pick amirite?

as an intro song for the show Californication...

[MacGovernor]

@BEASLAND000 RHCP's song is amongst the ones that just wouldn't fit with this series' atmosphere.

Just watched the last episode of S3. Can't wait to see what'll happen to Hank and Charles W. Runkle next season! I wish it was January already...

[kevinaushessen]

@MacGovernor they just released two new episodes and theyre pretty nice.

[sinsin92]

F**** RHCP This little piece of guitar is way better than the whole song title.

[untitledmessage]

youtube.com/watch?v=u_juH0AHvw­k this is an the original

[mrkennedy4321]

@untitledmessage can u resend the link please

[lallerdrum]

it's soo Good!!

[rodolfo11]

this song kicks ass! its a shame only 43 seg =( 3 min at least would be fine

[junimchair]

@rodolfo11

tem alguma musica maior pois a da introdução sao poucos segundos existe essa versao maior??

[theladiesmanou812]

WTF Runkle?!?

[rotembub1]

 the most addictive show ever

[OHxFUCKK]

such a good intro

[luismendezs]

GUYS! You gotta help me! I need the tabs for this intro, BADLY. ANYONE!

[DafftKillah]

Why isn't the intro Californication by The Red Hot Chili Peppers? WHY

[SilverrKL]

@DafftKillah The difference is obvious. Californication doesn't need RHCP because Hank's too cool for that

[NesalaxD]

Fuckin Great, love this show! :D

[filahohi]

Californication is without a doubt one of the top 5 shows on tv right now, duchovny is perfect for the role and the supporting cast fits the story Like a glove. All in all great show, can't wait for the next season

[arbitrarymudkips]

I love Californication, but I've always disliked the intro and skipped through it. It doesn't really fit the show.

[fugge]

best serie ever

[maverick1520]

Tree Adams is cool, they also did beautiful music for the movie Keith

[BBoy2020]

Why didn't they just use the Red Hot Chili Peppers song?

[sinsin92]

@BBoy2020 Because this one is wayyyyyyyy better !

[samgrahaminc]

becauase then they'd have to pay them money.

[corakanproductions]

@BBoy2020 also i think the rhcp song although being a great song isnt really fit to be an intro its to "complete"

[LucasVAAlmeida]

season 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i can't stand anymore

[griffmacdaddy2]

i want to go to california so bad!!! but not a choice of where id like to live

[fortesque]

i love this show

[wazzubmx]

love it!

[MSGslonikk]

This intro makes me wanna live in California :)!

maybe someday ...

[WolfpackUnleashed]

For a couple of episodes in season 2 they dropped the theme a half-step down, made it even more EPIC IMO

[noreggi]

Hank Moody.

[zeverus22]

i dont like very much that song, i think that would be better with californication from the red hot chili peppers

[leonis88]

totally agree with ya i really like this shit!

[senson1]

cool breezy beachy, perfect depiction of california

[TheMolotom]

great great great !!!!

[CaptainStomach]

Sound is brilliant...who is it ?

[rg743]

who plays thiss????

[cilantro79]

@rg743 Tyler Bates & Tree Adams

[rg743]

@cilantro79 thanks

[ThePkelly3]

best theme on tv

[ghoulgrl]

Good things come in small packages...I love this intro! :)

[teglaalatt]

it seems to be longer when i'm high...love this

[MB23ish]

This intro OWNS.

[karllos788]

The Rolling Stones-Monkey Man similar!

[heroineONhorse]

just ♥ it!

[hugoefoda]

this guy is amazing, i wish my father was like him!

[badoska]

@hugoefoda true! he is!  i wish my man was like him ;)

[Justas923]

This intro is the best out of all 3 seasons.

[Fendertastic]

Totally reminds me of Dogtown and Z Boys

[APPOCALYYPS3]

omfg i wanna live in the city of angels... some1 looking for a colleague :D?

[fellazn]

I love this music!

[SwCloud1]

to bad this song is only 43 seconds. I would love a 3-4 minute version

[YahkoKun]

@SwCloud1 - All good things come in small portions :P - Many times i'm even more exited doing a air guitar movements than wanting to watch the show itself :P

[qualung]

@SwCloud1

Yeah, this little bit isn't enough! *Playing Hank's Theme for comfort*

[sinsin92]

This show is absolutly amazing!

I'm watching it in French Tv

we have just the season one..

[gronot]

guys can someone write tabs for guitar path from this song?it's amazing !

[qualung]

@gronot

Sure, could take a look at it (: PM me your mail

[stryder10171]

@qualung any chance i could that tab too?

[theviker]

just discovered this sounds exactly like Monkee man by the Rolling stones, I'm surprised no one is sueing

[crimsonlung]

sounds VERY LITTLE like that song, what are you an idiot?

[marianoredhot]

it's a tv programme / series / sth like that

[falojazz]

@atrainpronto

..you of course on the other hand, are so hip that you know wich TV-shows are actually cool .. you are not a caveman like the rest of us ... Kudos to you .. I wish i was more like you ... dum-ass
