24. California Dreamin' - Mama's and Papas

And I'm gonna go for a half point on #20.. Ike & Tina Turner is the artist.  The title I had in mind doesn't contain a city, state, country, continent or mythical place though.

California dreaming is right.
I know #20 is alot like "Proud Mary" but it is not.

The funny thing is, I can only remember two lines of the song...("Let us be lovers; we'll marry our fortunes together/I've got some real estate here in my bag") ...so I was just being lucky you picked one of those two! :)
And to be totally honest: I've only heard the song once in my entire life. :o

I only know a few lines myself,but they mention the New Jersey turnpike
in the song and being from New Jersey i thought I'd add this song.

Hi Doc,I didn't mean to step on your toes.I went back a few pages
and didn't see a quiz like this so I thought it would be cool.I should
have known someone else would have already thought  of this theme.

I had to give the answers.My computer is still
down so I can't keep up with this quiz.I do have
ideas for other quizzes so when I get my computer
back maybe I'll do another one but I doubt it,this
is too much like work.
