California Girls? Really? How about something from Pet Sounds? Wouldn’t It Be Nice or God Only Knows perhaps. Brian Wilson wrote hundreds of better songs than that throwaway.

  Wait, nothing from Pet Sounds is in the Grammy Hall of Fame?

  There’s nothing wrong with “California Girls!” It deserves to be inducted in the Hall of Fame for sure!
