Note that in a large number of these, there is some sort of train in the cartoon, or some sort of refrence to trains. This is because "California Here I Come" is a song describing travelling to California by *train*
GO TRAINS WOO TRAINS
And in a boxcar too without tickets or money if I'm not mistaken, it was the 1930s after all...
Really? Why is it that there is absolutely no reference to trains, rails, boxcars or any rail term in the lyrics?
@@boxsterman77 When the song was written, the main way to travel to California was by train. The creator of the song, Al Jolson, in one of his covers has instruments mimic train sounds, which can be heard here:

The train sounds are still used, and have been carried over onto other covers, which also can be heard here:

Yes, trains aren't mentioned in the lyrics, but the fact train noises are heard in multiple versions of the song, including a version by the original creator, it is clear that the song is about travelling to California by train.
@@boxsterman77
Why are there train noises at the start of multiple covers of California Here I Come?
Al Jolson wrote California Here I Come, and in one of his covers, you can hear instruments making a "chugging" noise similar to a steam engine at the beginning of the song, as well as what sounds like a train whistle right after. Multiple other covers of the song also do something similar in having train sounds at the start.
Also, when the song was written in 1924, the primary way to get to California was by train. Although the song does not outright mention trains, we know the song is about traveling by train due to the train noises at the start of the song.
California here I come!
Right back where I started from!
Where flower in bowers bloom in the Spring!
Each morning, at dawning, the birdies sing at everything!
A sun-kissed miss said "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait!
Open up that Golden Gate!
California here I come!
One of the most used songs in this franchise.
9:14 Bugs’s Laugh when he buried Elmer is so hilarious and contagious 😂
LMAO at 1:03, the way the wrestling arena kept becoming more and more like a real train!
I love how the song was used in that short and in "Porky's Railroad".
Wow
Carl Stalling used that music whenever "travel" was involved.
Did he just like it?
He had a knack for choosing the right songs to use in his scores. It was "shorthand" for him to use certain melodies he associated with certain situations. With "travel", it was usuallly this one.
Stalling had a knack for matching certain songs to use in various situations (he started out as a silent film accompanist). He had plenty of tunes to chose from in the Warner Bros. music publishing catalogs- and to him, this song was "shorthand" for any travel sequence.
The original point of Looney Tunes was to advertise the Warner music catalogue. That's why so many of the early shorts were musicals. That evolved into inserting thematically humorous stings of existing music in the score as easter eggs, incidentally creating the leitmotifs of american film scores still in use today.

"They forgot to put out the cat. Hahaha...the cat?! I'M the cat!!!"
I can see why Carl Stalling used this a lot. It's pretty good traveling music.
Running a crack train means something a little different now.

🎵California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait,
Open up that Golden Gate!
California, here I come!
When the wintry winds start blowing
And the snow is starting to fall
Then my eyes turn westward knowing
That's the place that I love best of all
California, I've been blue
Since I've been away from you.
I can't wait till I get going
Even now I'm starting in a call.
California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers are flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
A sun kissed miss said "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait,
Open up that Golden Gate!
California, here I
California, here I
California, here I come!🎶

@@robbiewalker2831 thanks for the Lyrics.
@@looneytunessongs-xr5fs You should capitalize "Is" in "A Star Is Hatched"
A couple of things, in Porky' s Railroad, when his train met the Limited, his train performs what is called a saw-by meet when trains are longer than the siding they are in. Also, the signals used to stop him are patterned after Southern Pacific lower quadarent block signals.
"Hare-Raising Hare" is the best. Bugs really took that guy's clothes and packed them just so he could toss them everywhere.
Porky’s Railroad is how I was introduced to California Here I Come.
California,here I come!! Back to where I started from…..
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the sun
Each morning at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that golden gate
California, here I come!!!
@@jasobres Sunkist Miss said, "Don't be late!"
That's why I can hardly wait.
So open up that Golden Gate,
California, here I come!
@Dragon359 I was stationed in CA between 1985 to 3/1993 while serving in the Navy. Warner Bros sure got a kick using that CA song in most of the cartoons. I'm from Atlanta and to be honest I would mind going back to CALIFORNIA again.
7:04 Sign should read: "Welcome to California - Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter!"
Favorite uses/arrangements: Porky the Wrestler, Porky's Railroad, Hair-Raising Hare, Bushy Hare, Barbary Coast Bunny, Dog Tales, The Abominable Snow Rabbit.
Still the best versions of the song I've ever heard
I know right. I listened to almost all the covers of this song and these are still the best versions
Daffy saying “Say now! That’s just plain ‘ol silly!” Gets me every time 10:15 10:22
I think also the hasty hare was the inspiration for the galaxy express and galaxy railway.
Good video for the song’s hundred anniversary.
I really did take the train to California.
And I lost it when the dog crossed the state line and suddenly "everything was green." Sorry, no. Saw too much of California from San Diego to San Francisco, the majority of it looked more like the other side of the line 😂
California here i come put me in the mood like singing happiness.❤❤❤❤❤
Favorite uses/ Cross country Detours, Aviation Vacation, Nutty news, Hollywood Daffy, Bushy Hare, Canned Fued, Rabbitson Crusoe
This is my first time hearing this song's title, and have never heard it with lyrics, yet I suspected immediately what it would be, when I read the title.
I was not prepared for the boat acting link a snake
Porky the Wrestler actually did a FULL SEQUENCE
9:14 actually, the song plays a bit earlier when Bugs places Elmer inside the grave while pretending to die, starts at 7:01 when watching the episode
"So Long Mesalulah!"
lol big trees , yup they sure are.
Ah yes my favorite super famous Californian city, Big Trees lmao. Like I know it’s a tourist destination but to go straight from five super famous Californian cities to big trees is hilarious to me
Well, is a dog
7:07 now it's the other way around.
Sadly.
California was Hopalong Cassidy’s sidekick
And don’t think it has been a little slice of heaven, cause it hasn’t!
I always thought it was a Looney Tunes song as a small child.
You know it’s an old cartoon when people want to return to California
(11:26) How many times has he said "I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque"?
A lot.
i love this song
I think the first time I heard this was the variant from Animaniacs, “Purgatory, Here We Come” from “Hot, Bothered, and Bedeviled”
8:14 Ava Airways is a Dominican Republic airline venture with its headquarters and airline operator's certificate (AOC) base in Santo Domingo.
I didn't know that!
@@planelord333 Thanks!
Back in the days, California was the place to go. Nowadays, California was the place to flee.
Once A Beautiful Place...No More.
Thanks, climate change...
@@candyneige6609 Thanks Democrats for turning this beautiful place into a hellhole.
@@Hampstead343 Democrats caused climate change ? I thought it was either Republicans or China who did this.
@@Hampstead343 Weren't Republicans the ones who did it rather than Democrats ?
Because it is an established fact that Democrats are more worried than Republicans about climate change and therefore Democrats will take more actions than Republicans at fighting climate change.
We need to make this our state song.
8:37 looks like New Mexico class battleship and Tennessee class
Nowadays it's "FUCK NAH, IM LEAVING CALIFORNIA!"
They would've definitely stayed in California if it wasn't for something called climate change.
8:43 Los Angeles city l….aw-you know!
Now it's "California, here I go" and it's in a minor key.
Certainly don't want to go to California now, but that song was always fun to hear in those toons.
Wouldn’t step foot in California either. Not since like 2007-8
What's the name of the boxing cartoon with the train imitation gag?
"Porky the Wrestler".
Back when California used to be in a better place-a golden place, hence its nickname-than what it is now.
California is now too hot to live in due to climate change, which is why many Californians are moving up north to Cascadia, where the temperature is colder and more bearable to live in.
@@candyneige6609
No, it's not
@@kathleenking47 What do you mean ?
Nowadays, they'd probably just turn back and not bother with California.
Original California Diss #1307
Pretty much yeah
Seriously? You weaken the Nation more with absurd statements like that!
Except for the crack train. I bet that does a roaring business in California.
With how expensive it is, I wouldn’t blame them.
8:13 classic hitler.
Wow
And don't think it hasn't been a little slice of heaven......cause it hasn't.
6:14 is racist.
But nice voices though.
With that one-chime whistle.
Forbidden 11
0:38 OEHHHHHHHH
0:49 is it "I,m just wild about harry"?
This seems like a great place to ask: does anyone know the name of the music they use when somebody strikes it rich? Not “We’re in the Money,” but the music when someone strikes gold or wins at poker, etc. Appreciated in advance.
Do you have an example?
American anime > Japanese anime
What is the title of film with those hobos from 5:50?
"Hobo Gadget Band".
Back when cali used to represent something other than poverty and impossibly high taxes and prices
10:44 my favorite
As a Floridian, I can accurately say that we as a matter of fact deeply despise and hate California
Nobody asked 🫶 (As a Michigander)
The CA moving to The FL & TX
@@kathleenking47 quite the opposite actually
@@zeeb.1763 no one cares
2:15 Certainly looks like a crack(head) train to me...
People actually want to go to Cali?
Back then when these cartoons came out California was a paradise, nowadays it's a dumpster fire.
Please stop saying f*ck after I scroll down to the bottom of the description, Looney Tunes Music.
RUclips has made one of my videos rated as "made for kids" so I have to write FUCK in the description to prevent it from happening. It's worked wonders for me so I'm not stopping any time soon
@@looneytunessongs-xr5fs It automatically assumes Looney Tunes as being for kids.
@@looneytunessongs-xr5fs
Stop writing
Fornication under carnal knowledge....🤔
5:30 what cartoon was that???
Wow all of these aged poorly, because nowadays you would want to GET OUT of California.
And don’t think it’s been a little slice of heaven, cause it hasn’t!
