    I didn't actually know who did this song, does anyone know if they've done others?

    Is this the same Jimmy Dean who was selling his "pure pork sausage" from the Atlantic to the Pacific?
    But seriously, thank you for posting this classic, porporme!

    Thanks! If you had to be farming this certainly beats the Central Valley.

    Did the T-Bird HAVE to be turquoise? And no California plate? I liked this song too, I think it came out at about the time that the family moved from Maryland to Pacific Palisades.

    But I heard this version a long time before the original. Not saying it's better, no sir.

    I am most pleasantly surprised, thank you Daniel! This is a great tune, I was too ready to diss it because it came with a "Monkees" label.

    I remember it from the wayback machine.

    Here's another well known one from 10cc:

    God yes! But our summers there were hot, August was unbearably hot at times. but the central valley was and now is in competition with death valley. Both can kill you fast you just see more green in central valley as your going out.

    If you guys have not heard this song, well now you can. When people inject humor into songs usually the music or the humor..Well they aren't quite there.

    I promise you you will never forget this song. If you know it then sing along with me! ":O}



    Sorry I couldn't find a better video.
