California Dreaming - School of Rock version [View all]

Call me crazy but I actually prefer this version to the Mamas and the Papas. The original has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid but this version actually gives me chills and I really feel the longing for the California sunshine. Only negative is they didn't have a real flute in it.
