Offering keen commentary on snobbish east coast attitudes, “California English” stands out for being one of the most bright, jittery, and hyper songs on an album full of them.

It takes its name from the phrase/idea of “California English”, the name attached to the vernacular that is native to Californians. For example, to natives of the Golden State, freeways are “THE 101”, not just “101”.

Using famous Californian slang – “Gag me with a spoon” – and referring to Californian idiosyncrasies, at its core the song is a prolonged observation about California.
