Can you remember all the lyrics in California Dreamin'?
MeTV fans voted it the best song of the 1960s. But can you sing every word?
You, the MeTV fans, voted "California Dreamin'" the best song of the 1960s. Sorry, Fab Four! The Mamas and the Papas — the folk quartet of John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot and Michelle Phillips — beat out the Beatles and the Monkees to take the top spot!
It's hard to argue with those beautiful harmonies. The bittersweet poetry of the lyrics still strikes a chord, too.
But can you remember all the words to the song?
"California Dreamin'" is just two short verses and a chorus. Sing along in your head and try to fill the blanks!

Pass or fail, you probably want to listen to the song again right now, don't you?

12/12 love the song... still have that album.
12/12 beautiful song
Nailed it! Might have had more trouble with Creque Alley
Oh you ain't kidding. That song covers a LOT of territory!

its began to pray
Michelle Phillips said (she wrote the line)said "it's pretend to pray
100% but if not multiple choice would've missed the preacher one because I thought it was "lights his coal." I didn't participate in that survey but am not surprised that the winner turned out to be one that is that familiar to everyone. It's not even my favorite M&P song, "Creque Alley" is.
10 out of 12.
Chump change. Got em all.
Great tune… but the BEST of the 60's? I don't think so. It should be one of The Beatles' songs!
12/12
I got 12 out of 12.
I remember hearing that song as a small child on the radio, when we had and I'm saying "had" Decades, I watched The Best Of Ed Sullivan every weekday. I loved watching it because I have zero memories of The Ed Sullivan show because It was bedtime for me about 8 PM. I am watching the Mamas And Papas singing California Dreamin' on The Best Of Ed Sullivan and I and I notice as they're supposed t be singing and eating fruit at the same time I know they are lip singing to music. They also looked stoned out of their gourds!
They probably were stoned out of their "gourds" BUT laughing all the way to the BANK🤑🤑🤑 CALIFORNIA DREAMIN 🍁🍂
