Released: July 5, 1965
Brian Wilson conceived the song during his first acid trip, later arranging and producing the song's recording. Wilson was quoted saying in 1986, "[The song was] something I'm very proud of in a sense because it represents the Beach Boys really greatest record production we’ve ever made. It goes back to 1965 when I was sitting in my apartment, wondering how to write a song about girls, because I love girls.”
The instrumental was made on April 6, 1965 at United Western Recorders, requiring 44 takes before Brian Wilson could deem it a satisfactory performance. Vocal overdubs followed two months later on June 4 at CBS Columbia Square studios. Wilson recorded the Beach Boys' vocals using Columbia's new 8-track recorder, allowing Love's lead vocals to be triple-tracked. "California Girls" was the first Beach Boys recording to feature vocals from Bruce Johnston who had joined the group to substitute for Wilson on concert tours.
The song is considered emblematic of the 1960s California Sound. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included it as one of "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll". In 2010, the Beach Boys' recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

"Luna mezz'o mare" (Moon amid the sea)
Louis "Monte" Scaglione b. Manhattan, NYC April 2, 1917: d. June 12, 1989 (aged 72) Pompano Beach FL)
Hit recordings of the song in the United States have included "Oh! Ma-Ma!" by Rudy Vallée (1938, peaked at #8) and "Lazy Mary" by Lou Monte (1958, peaked at #12). Monte's version was initially banned from British broadcasts for undesirable innuendo, but has been played to a family-filled baseball stadium at almost every New York Mets home game since the mid-1990s, as the result of a fan survey. The humorous lyrics center around a young woman wondering about marriage with various tradesmen (butcher, fisherman, fireman, etc.), ensuring the song's sustained popularity at Italian wedding receptions, including the opening scene of The Godfather (1972).
Music and lyrics for this song appeared as early as 1835, in the art song "La Danza" (Tarantella Napoletana) by Gioachino Rossini and Carlo Pepoli. By 1871 in Italy, bawdier versions were circulating. In 1927, New York City's Italian Book Company arranged and recorded a version by Sicilian sailor Paolo Citorello.
Monte's first big hit came in 1954, with the release of his version of "Darktown Strutters' Ball". In 1962, Monte would release his first million-seller, "Pepino the Italian Mouse", which was awarded a gold disc. Co-written by Ray Allen and Wandra Merrell and sung alternately in English and a pastiche of Calabrese, "Pepino the Italian Mouse"

Produced by Allen Moy and 54.40, 1984

The band take their name from the slogan "54-40 or Fight!" The slogan was named after a line of latitude that served as the northern border of the Oregon territory at 54 degrees 40 minutes while the British claimed the territory for its own. James Knox Polk, considered the first "dark horse" president of the USA, knew that the American public favored expansion and wanted the entire territory of Oregon for the U.S. alone. He ran for the U.S. presidency under the Democratic Party using the slogan "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" to convey his intention to either claim Oregon for the U.S. or go to war with the British. But they didn’t. The two parties decided to extend the line from the prairies to the Pacific, that being the 49th Parallel.
The band, formed in 1981 and lead by Brad Merrit and Neil Osbourne, have been one of the biggest bands in Canada, right up there with The Tragically Hip and Blue Rodeo. And still continue on.
