As a little boy, I constantly misheard The Beach Boys' song California Girls. It confused me, especially in their high-pitched voices, when I heard them sing "I wish we all could be California girls!" It made me feel funny inside. I knew they were very cool, because no one was cooler than a surfer--was I supposed to want to be a California girl too?
