I requested this as our senior class song but we chose the current Graduation by vitamin C. 11th anneversary of graduating high school 6/15/00 to 6-15-11! Roosevelt high school Wyandotte Michigan!

[SuperLadyboyd]

love this live song of the beach boys..yeah...rock and roll!!!!

[spacepatrolman]

@SuperLadyboyd there are a lot of parallels between the beach boys and the four freshman both sing and play instruments both have brothers both on capitol records both had a long career the beach boys did four freshman songs the four freshman did beach boys songs there was some talk of the guitarist in the four freshman replacing carl wilson when he was being drafted

I remember playing this on my high school graduation on cassette. Next year I will play it again for my son, on cd via youtube! No one can harmonize like brian and Mike Love! Beach Boyz 4-Ever!

@genolatinoiii I just graduated on June 11 and the minute I got home I played this. Have loved The Beach Boys since I was 3 and knew I had to do it.

[etbella3]

@SixtiesMusicLover Shouldn't this song be played at ALL graduation ceremonies?

[SixtiesMusicLover]

@etbella3 It so should!

Rona, I love your postings and am impressed with your appreciation for 60's music, but please try to avoid cutting off your great selections so abruptly at the end. Thanks and Peace (/I\)

[MaresaEngo]

I dedicate this song to my two graduates - Jobelle and Janette Engo of the St Rose of Lima School Bacolod City. Congratulations! We're so proud of you! Hugs and kisses.

[trumpetchump]

Thanks for posting this GREAT BB (actually Freshmen) tune. I am from the 80's but know where I came from and what things are....i think.

[spacepatrolman]

Brian could have said he made up the whole thing of california himself but he was humble about it and acknowledged the four freshmann by recording this song.

[trainer51960]

one of my fav BB songs

[imkluu]

Thanks for uploading the tune. I'm more into the mid to late 60's but to be true to your name you need to cover all the decade.

[Azishome]

@imkluu Not necessarily cover all the decade. There are many of us who love the 60's Doo wop and the Beach Boys who will NEVER love In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or, worse, White Rabbit.
