Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) was a successful Birmingham, England rock music group of the 1970s and 1980s. They incorporated the sounds of string ensembles, vocoders and dub echos into rock songs, thereby creating a very sophisticated studio version of rock. The musical content of ELO songs often went far beyond usual chord structures, mixing pop songwriting with classical romanticism and synthesized sounds. Formed in 1970 by Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne and Bev Bevan (the remaining members of the 1960s rock group The Move). The band used cellos, violin, horns and woodwinds to give their music a classical sound.

California Man Lyrics
Electric Light Orchestra
Goin to a party,
Meet me out after school.
Well we go to a place
Where the jive is really cool.
And if the band stops a playin
Theres a jukebox in the hall.
Well put your blue dress on,
And your folks all gone.
Youll sure give the guys a ball.
Chorus:
Get that real guitar boy shakin,
Im a california man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin
Im a california man.
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this a womans just a making me mad.
So I dont care if your legs start aching,
Im a california man.
Oh my, Im a california man.
Oh my legs start to shiver
When I hear you call my name.
Well, my knees keep a knocking,
And Im feeling tired bugs me down.
An when we take off fine,
An my jeans are way down low.
When I waggle my hips
Its making me feel like a king of rock n roll
Chorus
