"California Girls" Gretchen Wilson
Sunday, May 15, 2011
A hilariously funny tongue-in-cheek criticism of Paris Hilton and all "Hollywood types" in the Golden State, "California Girls" is a single from Gretchen Wilson's #1 album All Jacked Up.
While this blog is the state of California's biggest cheerleader, it's only right that the occasional opposing view is presented for the sake of balance --- especially when it's a song that totally rocks!
Poking fun at California stereotypes, the video to "California Girls" (below) is very creative, titillating and humorous --- like California itself, really.
Sometimes it's good to take a step back and have a good laugh at ourselves as Californians in between practicing our fake smiles and undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures, right?Wilson highlights herself as one of the down-home girls "who ain't afraid to eat fried chicken and dirty-dance to Merle", but isn't that the ultimate sardonic slap to the Californians she humorously mocks?
Merle Haggard, the country legend she references, is a native Californian. Gasp!
With one of the funniest songs about California, we should thank Gretchen Wilson and "California Girls" for educating the ill-informed among us --- and for not being afraid to rock our world.
