Plenty of songs make you want to sing along. California Dreamin' makes you want to sing 'just the guys part' or 'just the girls part.' Think about it. You know - in the car - when it comes on, you're either a Mama or you're a Papa.

Now that it's on your iPod, you can rest your voice. Take some extra time to appreciate the harmonies, the musicianship, the lyrics - it's really a well-made song...

Alright, you can sing now. Just roll up the windows, please.
