What are some rock/pop songs that glorify California or LA?

I'll give 2 examples (please do not repeat them):

I Love LA by Randy Newman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lpxPUbn8y8

California by Phantom Planet
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZMCwa-Cvr4

The only specification is that the genre should be ROCK or POP

Thanks in advance for your help!

I thought all of 'em had been posted. However, I decided to still think about this for a while and I came up with a few more. I don't know about the "glorification" part, but decided to let you know about these and let you be the judge ; )

The Doors - L.A. Woman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5ndhb5PzhY

Other than that I love these selections!

Listen to the lyrics ... "sometimes i feel my only friend is the city i live in, the city of angels." The song is about his relationship with the city. RHCP have a bunch of california songs. But i didn't want to keep repeating the same artist.
