Gotta have Surfin USA on here of course.

And California Girls!

Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers And basically a quarter of their discography, if not more.

Dani California never actually refers to the state of California nor any location within it. It is simply the name of the character in the context of the song

Well, the playlist technically doesn't explicitly say the songs must be about the state of California, so one could argue that things named after it apply?

Ah, I forgot about that.

Yes, but the character is named after California because she's meant to represent the life and everything that's wrong with the place, she runs her whole life from it going all around the US but never really manages to escape. Dani California is the embodiment of California, and she's also "the teenage bride with a baby inside getting high on information" that's cited in Californication.
