The Californians

[Spec]

Great Californians question, Staley! I've heard that little medley many times on SNL, thinking it sounded a bit familiar, but it took your question to really put it all together for me.

Thanks. I've long been interested in the use of "imitative music" in various forms on TV and radio. There are people who specialize in writing music that openly imitates famous songs (like "Pleasant Valley Sunday" in Hidden Valley Ranch ads).
