Always loved this pix since it came out and I bought it in 65. Brian, Carl, Mike Love's hairline, then it looks like Bruce Johnson, but was he touring with Brian? Dennis is birdogging some Frenchbabe. The guy with the beard looks like a road manager.
Fun fact: The guy's beard as well as her sunglasses were actually airbrushed onto the original photo for whatever reason. You can find the original photo online if you look for it.
I love to listen to these `Mix` there is a certain snobbery regarding how `Pop` music was formulaic compared with Classical. It's the same in all life those with little real talent want to obscure and confuse the real skilled, those who have inventiveness and artistry in their soul.
Well East coast girls are hip I really dig those styles they wear And the Southern girls with the way they talk They knock me out when I'm down there The Mid-West farmer's daughters really make you feel alright And the Northern girls with the way they kiss They keep their boyfriends warm at night I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California I wish they all could be California girls The West coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tanned I dig a french bikini on Hawaii island Dolls by a palm tree in the sand
The intro is what makes this song.
I really love it.
The mixing of pianos, guitars, bass, and horns to make a sultry late afternoon atmosphere.
A phenomenal intro by a living legend !
Thank you, Brian Wilson. Your music is
on another plane of existence ❤️❤️❤️
Ditto
Sounds absolutely fantastic, so crisp. What a piece of music
The sensuality of this music is unmatched.

One of the most popular songs of all time, a true classic.
ive never heard the guitars so clearly in the outro, beautiful.
I believe the anniversary of the single was just a few days ago.
Timeless. Also makes a great instrumental. The genious of Brian Wilson. "Take 44!"
Oh my God you're right. I didn't even realize that. haha What a strange coincidence.
Such a great tune, thanks again Mark.
The Wrecking Crew were the cream of the West Coast musicians 🎶🔊🎵🎸🥁🎷🎹🎺🎻
Looooove the grinding sax!

Wow.
Songwriter Gretchen Wilson, yeah! 🥰
Could I use this for a school film?
I'll do you better than that. I can send you the file if you give me your email.
Sorry, but the picture does not go with the song, what was was somebody thinking , or did they think ?
They didn’t think
Good Lord, get a life. Fucking masterpiece of a song and you're whining about the picture.
What's so wrong with the picture? Those are the Beach Boys in the corner, are they not?
The picture is the actual sleeve for California Girls, with only the “Instrumental Mix” replacing “Let Him Run Wild”.
It sure does, it's the original sleeve for the 45.
