These are songs with lyrics that mention female Californians aka "California girls," or use the phrase, or refer to a woman from California in some other way, like Malibu Barbie or L.A. Woman, etc. These are all from the main list of songs that mention California. The term might have originated in music in 1965 with the Beach Boys classic "California Girls"
but it could have been used before then. It can be a sexist stereotype, but because I believe in equal opportunity stereotyping, if I ever find enough songs about California boys, they'll have their own list here.
