Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


Daniel Wanna Be	#1 by Daniel Ramillo at Oct 7, 2006 at 4:02 AM EST
	whats not to understand about the lyrics? they make sense... californication is the 'deteriation of society' so to speak... plastic surgery, teen pregnancy... and so on....

fasterdisco Average	#2 by fasterdisco at Dec 22, 2006 at 3:00 PM EST
	this song is a shallow self-parody the whole theme is "oh, california is this very deceptive place; it's bright on the outside and a really dark place on the inside." not as well written as you may think OK song!

This is between Wanna Be	#3 by This is between me and this blade, and my heart Taylor at Jan 16, 2007 at 10:07 PM EST
	Great song. I think that it californication is a good thing, to me anyway,

Tracii Wanna Be	#4 by Tracii Guns at Mar 8, 2007 at 2:40 PM EST
	yeah, it's about how this materialistic culture that used to be so foreign and simply "california style" is now mainstream - it's not just isolated greed - it's everywhere. it's taking over.

l2aVeN-5 String Wanna Be	#5 by l2aVeN-5 Stringed Mother F***er at May 16, 2007 at 12:57 AM EST
