California Girls
Wilson Gretchen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a lot of good women from Sacramento to Carona
But them Hollywood types after a while wearon ya
Struttin' around in their size zeros
Skinny little girls no meat on their bones
Never even heard of George Jones
[Chorus:]
Ain't you glad you glad there's still a few of us left.
That know how to rock your world
Ain't afraid to eat fried chicken and dirty dance to Merle
Ain't you glad we ain't all California girls
There ain't nothing wrong with plastic surgery
Well Dolly Parton never looked so good to me
Everybody ought to be exactly who they want to be
But that Paris Hilton Gets under my skin
With her big fake smile and and her painted on tan
She'd never have a chance at a real man
[Chorus: x2]
Ain't you glad we ain't all California girls.
In Wilson Gretchen's song "California Girls", she expresses her point of view regarding the stereotypical Hollywood girl, mostly in terms of their physical attributes and preference of music. She starts by clarifying that she has no problem with California or the women there but she gets tired of the Hollywood types who are always strutting around in their "size zeros" and whom she doesn't have much in common with, especially when it comes to music as she mentions that they "never even heard of George Jones".
In the chorus, she emphasizes that not all women are the same and she's glad that there are still women, like her, who rock the world and are not afraid to eat fried chicken or dance to Merle Haggard. She believes that there's nothing wrong with plastic surgery or people trying to look the way they want, but at the same time, she criticizes the likes of Paris Hilton who, to her, embodies a fake image that is far from desirable. In the end, Wilson Gretchen suggests that being a California girl has its ups and downs but she's simply glad that not all women are the same.

However, the Hollywood types can become tiresome over time

But that Paris Hilton Gets under my skin
However, Paris Hilton annoys me
With her big fake smile and and her painted on tan
Her heavily forced smile and fake tan irritate me
She'd never have a chance at a real man
She wouldn't have a shot with a genuine, authentic man
