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!

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

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

The Eagles - Hotel California

Bad Religion - Los Angeles is Burning
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJjAVOxA63Q

@eatthatpopcorn : "City of Angels", which is mentioned in "Under the Bridge" is the city of Los Angeles (LA)

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.
