These are songs with a California city or place in the title that is not Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Los Angeles, Malibu, Sacramento, San Francisco, or San Diego, all of which have their own lists here. Those may be the California places with the most songs written about them, but there are lots more songs written about other California cities and places. (There are even more that mention other places only in the lyrics, but they're not included here.)

This list includes some cities and places that are also found on lists that cover a lot of territory (Los Angeles, The Bay Area, The Central Coast) including Laurel Canyon, Oakland, the Pacific Coast Highway, the San Fernando Valley, Santa Cruz, Santa Monica, Silverlake, the Sunset Strip, Compton, Topanga, Ventura, etc., as long as they're in the title of the song.
Listed Alphabetically by Song Title

Includes any articles at the beginning - "The" - "A" - "La" - "Los" etc.
