Written by Brian Wilsonand Mike Love, “California Girls” featured a catchy pop-rock melody as it celebrated a carefree West Coast lifestyle and the girls of California. It reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 1965, becoming one of the Beach Boys' most iconic hits.
Despite a 20-year gap, the two versions of the song shared a remarkable connection: both featured harmony vocals by Beach Boys band member Carl Wilson.
“In the case of David and Ted Templeman, I think what happened was…they really wanted a stamp of approval and validation on doing 'California Girls,'” Cross told Popdosein 2011. “And truth be told, I think they knew I was close to Carl, and they thought, 'Well, if we get Christopher, then we can get Carl! And they didn’t care about me, ‘cause they got a real Beach Boy! So it was fun”
In an interview shared by Something Else Reviews, Roth summarized his cheeky “California Girls” video.
While the two versions of the song were very different, Roth did indeed get the approval of one of the original songwriters. In 2005, Brian Wilson told the New York Times he was a fan of Roth in the 1980s. “I thought that his version of ‘California Girls’ was really, really good,’” the Beach Boys legend added.
