- What do 4 handsome guys gotta do to flee California? In this parody of The Beach Boys' "California Dreamin'" - itself a totally tubular cover of The Mamas & the Papas - the Bee Boys sing of Cali's legendary brown streets, iconic muggings, and world-famous traffic.

Lyrics:
All the streets are brown
And the teachers gay
I went for a walk
Got mugged along the way
I’d be safe from harm
If I moved from L.A.
California fleein’
I gotta get away
Stopped into a woke church
With Rainbow flags displayed
When I pulled out my KJV (with Hebrew and Greek)
The pastor burst into flames (Pastor was aflame)
I know Montana can be cold
And Florida’s out of the way
But still I’m California fleein’
Just gotta get away
All the lights are down
The power’s out for days
Now I have to walk
Can’t charge my Tesla today (Got no electricitay)
The taxes are so high (They be takin all my money)
And the traffics a pain (I’ve been on the 405 for half of the day)
California fleein'

The off-key sax took it to another level of hilarity
I loved the sax bit but wonder if they were spoofing something or someone in particular, or just creating a mental picture of the place etc. Funny stuff either way.
You have to really know how to play... to play that bad!!! Jack Benny was actually a gifted violinist... but he couldn't make a living at it. So... he squeaked and squalked on it as part of his routine.
I thought that was Slick Willy Clinton chiming in. C'mon, man...
Was it because he was that "woke" pastor, wearing the rainbows?
I know, right?!? Totally unexpected 😂 Couldn't stop rewinding and laughing for a while! 🤣
That sax solo was so poignant and soulful, I cried. Of course, I live in CA so I was already crying.
That’s hilarious...Love you whoever you are 😂
Funny as fuck for me.
😂😂😂
I welcome you to TX so instead of CA crying you can cry about our power grid (except vast majority of the time it works and you'll be happy it's relatively dirt cheap). You can cry about the heat too. Can also cry about red-state stuff if you don't like that political preference (hint: move to Austin if you want a bluer life).
Could move to the Floridtheocracy or join the Texas Taliban.
I moved to CA in 1963 and loved "California Dreamin'." At that time being a native Californian was a badge of honor.
In '63 CA was synonymous with freedom, opportunity, good-paying jobs, and self-reliance.
Over the years, I fought the good fight and tried to stop the madness, but found it was useless. After being literally shouted down, called names, and even threatened ...
I fled the tyranny of overregulated, over-taxed, and the evil of so-called "social justice" in CA. And coming from CA, I was rightly viewed with suspicion and skepticism.
But moving to a free State has restored my sanity, freedom, and self-respect.
I moved to L.A. in July 1990. As I got off the plane and went to get my suitcases in LAX I saw the sign "Mayor Tom Bradley Welcomes you to Los Angeles." I remember his smiling face in the life-sized cardboard cutout. Those were fun times.
Wow. My sister CA 2 yrs ago for the same reason
You need a better governor!
I thought that song came out in the late 1960s not 63'....
@@joedirt3563 In 1963 I had completed my military obligation, was single, and 24 years old. It wasn't the song that enticed my move to CA, it was good-paying jobs, freedom, affordable housing, and the weather. And except for the weather the Democrats have destroyed a once beautiful and affordable State. So I left.
The fact that they're all great singers makes this song so much better
Yeah, the guy with the beard doing the second stanza was all-pro. That guy has had musical training.
👏👏 As a former Californian, who fled the state last year, I fully agree with this song.
The modern left is mentally ill.
You should have stayed and kept the mess you created in California
@@stubbingtonmarigold3032 Why? would I stay. Do you just assume that all of us are left wing, liberals . I have conservative views and vote accordingly. It seems that we are no longer welcome in our own state.
I did not vote for Newsom or any of his cronies.
I now live in a state and community that embraces the same values that I do. Life is good.
Fled away last year
@@stubbingtonmarigold3032, yes , we see you were raised contrary with a sprinkle of reality denier .
The Bee needs to come out with their own parody album like Weird Al.
Please!!!!!
Absolutely!
gotta get the rymes better then. I suggest Media Bear - they get in much better.
YES!
Absolutely a must.
Born and raised in California. I fled in 2006. Saw it all coming.
Loved your song!
sums up Califuko these days.
I was born and raised there also. I left there in 1991 at 29 years old.
I’ve visited a half dozen times since then and I’m glad I left
I came to CA in 2000, when I was 5. I can’t wait to escape to a free state.
Miss my people: those that didn’t vote for Nuisance & Pelosi.
Beach Boys? Mama Cass is rolling.
Right?! Give Mamas and Papas credit!
@@laurabaylessjohnson6749 I thought everyone would catch this immediately. I'm really feeling like an old fart now.
You mean Michelle Phillips!
It was Michelle Phillips and her husband John of the Mamas and the papas who originally wrote the song back in 1967.
But this version is even better!
Wow that they missed that!! Clueless!
@@chrismiller5198 😂 me too
As a Californian, I approve of this message. 🤣
As a human, I approve this message.
As both, I approve of these messages.
My wife wants to leave California, but she can't find a good place to move to, basically because of weather.
I hoping that we die of old age before things completely go down the tubes.
@@someguy7805 I hate to tell you it’s too late. It went down the tubes for me by 2019 and just kept getting worse so I left in the first week of 2020. I understand your predicament. One of my brothers is still in Marin because my sister-in-law can’t see it’s past time to leave. She used to do standup in SF, but she just can’t see how bad things are. I pray for her to see reality. Good luck out there.
@@brookeking8559
Thanks, we'll need it.
Who knew that a parody song complete with an intentionally murdered sax solo could still sound better than anything played on the radio today.
Exactly 💯 I punish myself occasionally by listening to 🇬🇧 chart 😆 🤣
That saxophonist identified as on-key. How dare you assume his sax!
@@gregoswald7723 😆 🤣 😂 😹
🤪😆
@@gregoswald7723 sublime.... 👊🏻
As a former Californian, I approve of this message.
I fled California (Los Angeles) two years ago for Montana. And yes, it's cold in winter as the song says, but everything else the song says and implies is true too.
Alaska is a little cold too, but the air is clean...
First line had me rolling- "All the streets are brown" 💩 🤣
Same!!!…I knew it was an instant hit after hearing that lol
I'm still waiting for someone to redo Tony Bennett's trademark classic as "I've dropped a deuce, in San Francisco!"
I too understand it's the beans as the dual meaning.
POOP MAPS!💯💯🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣THEIR HEEEEER!🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 FROM SO CA.HEEEEAAAALLLLP!!!!!🙋🏼♀🙋🏼♀💯💯❤❤
All the San Francisco streets are brown...turds!😂
Also a Californian, I nominate this song for a Grammy! You guys nailed it.
Enjoy wallowing in human feces!
No thanks!
Need to ship copy to our beloved governor office have his secretary play it on the intercom system.
Not Certain to be Heard or Even
Reviewed at the "Woke Grammys"
F new some!
Born in Santa Ana, raised in L.A...left for Georgia in '85 now in Florida. So glad to be in the S.E. Happy to be here vs being there.
Whoever wrote these lyrics, thank you. They both hilarious and accurate. California used to be the state to move to, now it is the state everyone is leaving or trying to.
Came for the satire, stayed for the music (yes, even the sax solo).
Satire?
@@Anonymous______________ "satire"
Sax was a little painful for me but the song is dead on
"I pulled out my kjv and the pastor burst into flames" KILLED ME, nearly spit out my coffee laughing so hard. BAHAHAHA
That Was My Favorite Line!!!!♥. (With Greek and Hebrew, too!)
My favorite part as well, hahahahaha!
Kjv means King James Version right?
@@DJShire_ATL Yes, and that's what's so funny about them bursting into flames just because he pulled out his King James Bible. I laughed outloud at that!
@@DJShire_ATL yes
This is gold! We left California over 30 years ago and I am now proud to say that I am from California - far from California.
Native of California but I fled the bay area September 2010 after 40 years. Been in the Blue Ridge Mountains ever since. May not be heaven but you can see it from here.
As a former Californian, I also approve this message.
Ditto!
I hope you left the politics that created their mess. There is a saying here “don’t mess with Texas” ❤
@@truthseeker6301 yes we did, NV is now RED! As a CA native, I feel CA I once knew left me.
@@truthseeker6301 But now we are challenged by the millions of migrants here and the hundreds of thousands people who have moved in from CA and NY and other more expensive places so rents are getting higher in Texas and there is some homeless here too but nothing like I saw out in Los Angeles but am back in my home state of Texas. Texas and CA have pros and cons but the cities are getting kind of crazy here too but not as crazy as some in CA yet. I'm an independent voter leaning conservative but lots of issues are challenging our entire nation anymore even Texas but yes Texas remains to still be one of the best run states in the country.
Born and raised in Gardena and don't miss it, I to approve of this message.
As a native Californian who recently fled, this is absolutely freaking hilarious 🤣 🤣🤣
You didn't flee.
You spread like the Socialist Party cancer that you are!
Yeah, better to laugh than to cry over what was once the coolest place on the planet crapified.
Just remember why you fled and try not doing it to your new state
@@a6m3reisen8 why do people think that those who fled Commifornia are going to contaminate their new states with liberal bs? Liberals don’t leave, they love their misery too much. Those that flee are the conservatives who can’t take the liberal misery anymore. We’re going to states that are strongly conservative because we are strongly conservative. I get so tired of being told this.
@@cyndajo No liberals do leave California. Often they wont admit it was there policies or politicians that did it. They will blame everyone else. Before admitting a mistake. They will even flee a leftist state to its basic self interest. Leftist politicians do it all the time. You may be what you say you are. But dont blame others for their skepticism. As long as you adjust to your new state go right ahead.
THE RESON WHY A MOVED OUT OF CALIFORNIA AND moved to Alabama last year? My story, My wife and I ran a small business Downtown in LA, Its are The taxes are so high I had to raise my prices at our store just to make ends meet. When I raised my price I could no longer compete with the big box stores thus losing business and as a result lowering my income. And I could no longer afford my property tax or my business taxes. 2nd California has the highest gas taxes, the highest utility taxes, and the highest Property Taxes in the Nation. 3rd reason crime. I we went to work at our store we drove past countless homeless people living on the street. We would drive by people selling and using drugs in broad daylight with impunity. Also 2 months before we moved, a man came into the store stuck a gun in my face, and told me if I didn't give him all the money in the cash register he would "BLOW ME AWAY' so I gave him the money I called the police they to a report and they promptly caught the guy two blocks away shooting up. He was taken to jail. The very next day the same man again robbed my store and took all my money again. On top of that, I have countless people shoplifting daily sealing everything from cigarettes to toilet paper with immunity. My insurance company dropped me, stating I was too high risk. So I had enough and we moved to Alabama where my wife's mother lives. Now I love California the state is beautiful
There are many free parks the beaches are great and recreation in California is second to none. But we were forced to give all that up including I was forced to leave my mother, father, and two sisters behind. My wife and I started a new business in Alabama and are making way more money than we ever did in California because no one steals from our store or tries to rob me. Not only that taxes are ridiculously low, we now live in a house that is twice the size of the one in California for Half the price. And the property taxes are so low here I don't see how they can afford to fix the roads or anything and don't get me going on gas prices I was paying $5.69 a gallon the last time I filled up 3.39 a gallon. But everything is not all roses. The summer here are extremely hot I mean really hot and humid and there are bugs everywhere. What most surprised me about Alabama besides the cost of living is that my family is black and I was told by all my California friends that I was making a grave mistake because everyone knew that Alabama was the racist Capital of the world! But I came to find out there are far more racists in California than in Alabama. The first day we moved in a white couple knocked on our door and invited us to a family BBQ they were having on Sunday. My wife was sure how we would be treated but we went anyway to my surprise we weren't the only black couples there were lots of them, along with Asians, Filipinos, and Hispanic couples they were laughing, kids playing together. They had just finished church and were invited to my neighbor's home for a BBQ.
The bottom line is I think I'm going to like it here in Alabama and wish I had moved out there years ago. So for my Fellow California don't be afraid to leave there is a brave and better life waiting for you outside California
Amen! So glad you see the rest of the country as what it really is. Most all color barriers are from the GOVT. Everyone in every state are great humans regardless race. Welcome back to America! Lol!! Glad your family is now safe and sound in a good place.
Since you posted things have gotten worse in Los Angeles. Every day the news is filled with smash & grab crimes, home invasion robberies, street crime, assaults by the homeless. The LAPD rarely responds to burglary calls. Instead, they tell the victim to file a report online and file a claim with the insurance company. A business owner called the police while his store was being looted by a mob of people. It took the cops 2 hours to show up. I'm also thinking of leaving CA.
I'm still here, and my partner, who is Hispanic notices that its becoming hostile here. It gets a little worse every year, you were right to get out of here. People here are looking for someone to blame, and they choose minorities, they give my partner the cold shoulder all the time, they give her the "stink eye", treat her rudely. You just can't win with Gavin Newsom in charge, he has ruined everything and he continues to cause more problems, every chance he gets. He's got everyone fighting each other.
And Vote Republican from now!!!Alabama is like that due to Republican leadership
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I am white and even though I feel like I love everyone equally, I wonder if I am unknowingly racist just because I haven't walked a mile in the shoes of someone of a different ethnicity.
May God bless you in your righteous endeavors and may you never have a gun shoved in your face again! ❤
I did my California fleein back in 1985 and have not looked back since. Praise God Almighty!!!!!!! Good job guys!!!!!!! Humorous, yet so accurate!!!!!!!
"... I pulled out my KJV, the pastor burst into flames... " 😂😂😂 Good one 👏
Hebrew and Greek
I grew up around idiot evangelicals who for absurd reasons think the KJV is the inspired word of God when it was clearly just a rewrite to make the Bible accord with 17th century theology. How on earth can people who think the Bible is good evidence for anything or their introspection ("my personal relationahip with Jesus") make fun of woke idiocy when it is exactly the same thing.
Definitely

I almost ruptured something!
Destined to become a classic.
It's a catchy tune; f'shore
Larry Kahhan. It aready is.
I wonder seriously when they get to the point where there's no revenue to pay all their handouts how long it will be before their own people come for the leaders in Cali, French Revolution style. Don't want to find out? ELECT YOUR LOCAL GOP.
Remixes can be better than the original.
"the traffic's a pain. I've been on 405 for half of the day." This line did it for me.🤣🤣
I'm still laughing like a fool, I loooved that sax solo, amazing !
As a Californian born and raised for almost seven decades, this brought a tear to my eye.😢
Oof
It is true; I was a native Californian and conservative. I fled to a conservative area of another leftists state, considering myself a sociopolitical and economic refugee. It was what I could barely afford.
R.I.P. California dream of yours
Native Californian here … it’s heartbreaking 💔 and infuriating… that’s my home but … it’s just a disaster now … sad.
I have to think that as bad as relatively high taxes, homelessness, cost of living, and degree of state control over your lives, that the amazing weather, geography, airports that can take you many places non-stop, beaches, and beautiful people everywhere you look would make up for the negatives. Maybe? I hope? You had Arnold as Governor for awhile! CA should be paradise!
That sax solo would have been a masterpiece at the WEF conference
good one
😂😂😂😂
They should rename WEF in WTF 😂
@@RobertoRoccoAngeloni I second that motion as it reflects the views of ordinary people who are awake to their nonsense.
Definitely
Me as well totally aprove this message.... I left 15 years ago....and never regret. I was able to learn the difference between “ democracy” and Republicans and conservatives. We leave California with brain washed... never again.
Wonder if gruesome has heard this?
That solo was the best thing ever😂
The sad thing is that everything in the song is so true. Well done Bee Boys!
Bee Boys😂
Mama Bees and Papa Bees....
except its not... California is one of the safest places to live in the country.
Land area wise you are correct .
Most of California is Republican .
Unfortunately , the major coastal cities outvote the rest of the state And the cities are where the crime is.
Mommas and The poppas....
As a San Diego native currently living in Texas, I can totally feel this video. a Hit!!
As a Houston native, I’d be mad that another Californian moved to Texas, but the fact you’re watching Babylon Bee means you at least vote right 👍🏻
SD is the only place worth living in CA. With enough money, I could make it work.
I'm in Chicagoland and there is nothing worth staying here for.
@@tomaslopez2940 Most Californians leaving are Conservative. There are Conservative areas there still but we were just outnumbered 3 to 1 thanks to the Bay Area and SoCal.
@Marc Linhardt S.D. has gotten bad. Over time, with the tents and nutcases, it will catch up to S.F. very soon.
From Palm Springs to Oklahoma. Love it here!! So glad I moved!
This is both funny and heartbreaking at the same time. I'm in NYS, I always wanted to move to California. Nobody saw what was happening in politics and schools, this has been building for a long time. Great song and video.
😂!!! Ex-Californian and shared this with all of our friends who also Flee’d !
The Bee Boys are the bomb and using an off-key instrumental to highlight the satire just iced the cake!
Best part. I literally LOL'd.
masterful
The sax identifies as in-tune.
Haha... Da Bee Boys (BeeGee's & Beach Boys = Bee Boys)
Cake can only be allowed if it is made with 60% or more bug flour. Your ruler, Dr Evil said/
As a former California native I left that dump of a state in 1980! I definitely knew something back then and I whole heartedly approve this message!
Sitting in the black hills...sending this to all the fam in Cali!! Btw, 2 of them already moving here. They are a fleein😂😂😊
And the facial expressions as they were singing spot on😂😂😂
'The Mamas and the Papas' were the group that made the song famous:) Still always great to get some comic relief from the BB team!!
Surely one cannot refer to the Mamas and the Papas today... it should be the Birthing person and the Significant Others... just saying!!!
@@fieryfredthebeaconlighter2259 Excellent point.
That's what I thought!
@fieryfredthebeaconlighter2259 Birthing Persons and Partners**. The number of straight people saying partner instead of boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/wife is appalling. Sure, it works, but why so intentionally vague???
@@fieryfredthebeaconlighter2259 the menstruators and the ejaculators. I’ve literally heard woke folks call moms and dads that. That’s not me being funny.
As a recent California refugee I approve of this song! I grew up in the OC and was heartbroken over what has happened in my childhood state. I’m now living in the south and detoxing. I miss the beach and mountains but I am so much more at peace. Thanks BB for these vids! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
hey, we gots lots of beaches in Florida! and still some room left for escapees!
Just don't vote like you did in commiefornia
Christine, I feel your frustration! I was raised in CA & went to college there! Since I married a military man we traveled abroad & throughout our country. Every time we would visit I saw my state deteriorate! I truly miss the clean, beautiful beaches & hills. CA had everything; beaches, hills, gorgeous forests in Northern CA, a paradise. I hope they can get a new governor to clean up the mess!
@@sassiegranny We tried last year with the recall election of the governor, but until someone can find a way to prevent the Dem Machine in this state from brazenly stealing our elections, NOTHING will change. All of our major officeholders in this state are INSTALLED by the Democrat Machine, just as they are in every other Dem-controlled hellh*le in the country. The Dems will NEVER allow the loss of their stranglehold on Sacramento and on the electoral votes in this state.. and now they've taken those same corrupt tactics nationwide, particularly to states with high electoral vote counts -- like Texas. I read recently that over 71% of the illegal invaders -- i.e., government-dependent, future Democrat voters -- that have swarmed across our southern border have been resettled in Republican districts all across the fruited plain... it's all part of their plan.
But hey isnt it the california you voted for so why did you left. Oh let me guess you left so you could turn that other place to shit as well?
Top! The off-key sax nailed it. That parody becomes a classic. 😁💪🏻
As someone who fled CA for MO in 2020. I couldnt be happier
“All the lights are down, the power’s out for days…” and the KJV and pastor aflame line was gold as well!
In Hebrew and Greek no less...

Just a couple of songs away from being able to produce “Babylon Bee’s Greatest Hits”! I love it 😍
As a Canadian from Vancouver, there’s a lot of similarities with our city. To me California was a place where everything was possible! I love your state. It’s such a shame what’s happened to the west coast from Vancouver, all the way to California. I was once in San Francisco and saw this guy on the street at Fisherman’s Wharf. He was playing a stereo with sax music and was pretending to play the sax. It was surreal! Peace to California ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
spit milk outta my nose before the chorus ... the sax solo nailed it 👍👍👍🤣🤣 😂
That sax solo will go down in history.... it's amazing.
It will go down in history as a sax solo.
It was one of the sax solos of all time.
It was a SAX solo? I tought he was mass turbating... sorry, same sounds just no spurt at the end...
This is beyond good. I wish it was playing on every radio station across the nation. I would love to see it as a #1 hit. Grammy potential!
Me too
Hey, if Dave Chappelle can win a Grammy in the new woketopia, it’s definitely possible for BB to win.
Not to worry I’m going to share this with many people it needs to be on the radio like you said
the off-key sax symbolizes an off-key California
Love this soooo much….touch of the monkees and whole lot of beach boys and best of all truth and it’s hilarious!
That sax solo was bold, inspiring, brave, and beautiful.
Beach Boys parody? , No, it was Steely Dan in 1957 that had the big hit California Dreaming that this is a parody of.
Amen and Awomen
@@fg6971 Nah, SD didn't even form until 1971. This was a Mamas and the Papas big hit.
I love these song parodies because not only are they funny, but they are done so well
I think all these parodies are this generations version of the protest of the anti-war songs of the Viet Nam era. And just as relevant as they were then
Anyone who enjoys these parodies has to check out the works of
Parody Project. For some great music and biting commentary
Weird Al would be proud.
The original,by the mamas & papas was soulful and beautiful. Very bittersweet that this parody is accurate …. and hilarious!
I successfully fleed CA in 2013, everything I owned packed into an RV and Harley trailer. Traveled the nation for 10 YEARS, landed in Florida...and love it. It's like living in HB where I grew up..in the 70's..
The sax alone is such a perfect musical representation of the state of that state.
That sax playing off key had me rolling
You have to really know how to play... to play that bad!!! Jack Benny was actually a gifted violinist... but he couldn't make a living at it. So... he squeaked and squalked on it as part of his comedy routine.
Full disclosure….I’m a fan of Babylon Bee.
But this is hands down THE FUNNIEST parody I’ve ever seen.
If anybody even reads this… One slight suggestion…
Because it’s a very beginning of the video and you don’t quite catch about “all the streets are brown”… maybe add a smiling poop emoji 😊.
Well done!
I live in Cape Town. This is how I feel. This is how we live.
I always thought "California Dreamin'" was by the Mamas & Papas. This same song could be sung about Illinois too. 10 thumbs up guys!
A Blues Brothers parody. Although it was a parody into itself.
LEAVE YOUR LIBERAL MENTALITY BEHIND
@Sea Shells I don't know about you...but I'm NOT a liberal.
It was mamas and the Papas
It was mamas and papas. BB never researched.
As hysterical as this video is, I just hope all those who are “fleeing” vote appropriately to their location …
the way you feel and they way you vote has nothing to do with where you live, who your neighbors are and why you even vote. voting is not a game and right or wrong has no team.
heres an example, i dont give a shit how my neighbors, friends or co-workers vote, many of them are out of touch with reality anyway and im not going to waste my time getting worked up over them being lost somewhere in the middle ages. i am my own person my own thoughts and i dont care what anybody thinks. i am independent i know my history and WHY some things are the way they are. political party means nothing to me i vote right or wrong. try it, its eye opening and empowering. declare your independence!!!!!!!!!
You no they won’t. They will think if this place were a little more like California it would be perfect and vote blue…. They will ruin the state they flee to.
@@orionoutdoorsandworkshop5617 The guy means that if you keep voting wrong your new place will end up the same.
Yyyeah, or just not at all. The world doesn't need more stoners shambling around at night looking for a Denny's to pass out in.
The indoctrination runs deeeeeep
Besides the sax, I love the song...been singing it for like 6 months now hahaha... all the way from Houston to rural East Texas haha
Brilliant...and so true! Yes...get out of Dodge, before the nuts in charge there tell you you can't!!
It is a rare event, but if we are lucky, a parody takes the original and brings it to a new, higher plateau. California Fleein’ is one such parody. The words, harmony, imagery, and subject take a classic into a new, distant country of excellence.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Even the Mamas and the papas would be proud of this one. Those background vocals are tight! 👍🏽
I actually need Michelle
Glad someone else caught that... "California Dreaming" by the Momas and Poppas (not Beach Boys).
Yeah, and they would have moved a long time ago LOL!
@@cb664 Yeah was going to say. Not even sure the beach boys did a cover of it.
They need to change the title from 'A Beachboys Parody'
California Dreamin' was written by John Phillips (with credit also given to Michelle Philips) and was a major hit for The Mamas & The Papas. in 1965
Love that Sax solo! (and Actually, pretty good close harmony). As a long-ex-Californian, I also approve of this message.... Great job guys.
The screeching but in exact perfect swing rhythm was hilarious
1960s: Anyone who doesn't live in California dreams about being in California
2020s: Anyone who lives in California dreams about moving out of California!
From a "Weekend Update" on SNL years ago:
"This just in: The Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced an upcoming album that will be completely different from all of their previous work. Instead of being all songs about California, this new album will have songs about... songs about California"

@@jeantuite-actress--imdb My theory is the further away from Ca. you get the better it should be. Texas is much better off not being next door to California.

That Sax solo really added to the parody.
The Bee has nailed our sentiments in CA! Thank you!
Yes. I'm married to a California fleeing. I'm from Baltimore. Wish they could do a song about Baltimore bleedin.
Absolutely hilarious. They crushed it.
Effing hilarious. The squawky sax.. omg cant stop laughing!
The KJV part was gold
Yes! Not a Bible reader but you’re right about that one.
Brilliant. Made me laugh out loud, literally. Came to the comments to see if anyone else appreciated those lines as much as I did.
The Bee NEVER disappoints. Fabulous.
It was pretty good. *Listen to Weird Al though: the meter is NEVER off.* No syllables crammed in. You can sing Weird Al lyrics over the karaoke track without every hearing the Wierd Al version. That means the meter is ON. Syllable for syllable.
This: good humor, but the meter kinda blows. I could fix this up for them in a day or two. It actually takes work to get the meter right. Somebody like Jackson Browne might spend 5 days on it... now think of the lyrics to "running on empty." Or any Talking Heads song. Perfect meter.
Just like Weird Al.
@@theminister1154 OCD is treatable.
Felt a slight hispanic tweak in there with the other horns and loved the 405 freeway comment!
I love the humor in the parodies and just subscribed. I am really in awe of how talented these guys are vocally. Especially the male lead singer. Keep up the hard work. It’s 💰off.
Incredibly accurate. The Bee just keeps smashing it.
So good! Another home run. These song parodies are some of your best material. Talented writers, actors, musicians, choreographers, graphic artists, film crew. Lots went into this and it shows.
Yes well done
Great singing skills and the horn was perfect
As a foreigner and old enough to have seen The Beach Boys live, I find this hilarious 😂
Go The Bee 🐝 🎉🎉🎉
Bee Boys, this is going to be a hit! *puffing on a cigar* The kids are going to like this and dance to it! You tubers will play it over and over all hours of the day.
But that last part is exactly what happened tho...
"Puffing on a cigar is ALWAYS better than smoking a dick."-Rush Limbaugh in heaven
This song is California Dreaming, by mama's & papas
I'm gonna end up singing these lyrics instead of the original 😅😍
Please put it on Spotify, I need it on my playlist 😁
Yessssssss! I second this 👍👍👍
I am learning them right now.
This was sooooo good!!!! You guys are geniuses!!
This song should be among the top 10 hits!
Omg I love this song!!!! Brilliant 👏. I have been a native southern Californian since 1962, and I, too, approve this message!!!
I use to love that song, now i can't stop singing California fleein'
🤣🤣🤣
Me too
One of the best songs EVAH!!!
The Babylon Bee has just been killing it one after another. I love it, keep it up.
It's almost that getting their channel suspended has energized them.
@@sp1nrx Yep, ban something, or even threaten to ban something...makes that something even more popular. Great parody, so much I just copied the lyrics down to sing at my next conservative meeting. 🤣
Definitely
Look, my friend sent this to me, literally while my wife and I were making plans to leave this once great state that the Left has reduced to a Dung Hole!!!! Babylon Bee is so dang creative and clever. This song totally lifted my spirits and changed my day. Love you guys!!!! Thanks
The saxophone solo in the middle really got me.
I can’t get enough of this channel.
Love to see them over 1M subs
Yay! It's now out for the masses. I loved seeing it debut at the Bee Live show!
Let the masses enjoy! I certainly did...
