lady, congratulations for your question! it s funny and should be instructive too! I always wondered why they used this title and i suppose they refer to some kind of fashionable or trendy behaviour in California. Your question is great, but answers are really marvellous. First i understand totally, but dont agree. Second i dont understand totally as my knowledge of russian is not that much, but i guess that the explanation of Alex would result from the word "californiaze" better than "californicate". Pitifully, i dont know how you say in russian "fornicate" but i ll be glad to know. This and other names surely not so "neutral". If you inform me i ll be very grateful to you. I really loved this question. As you live in Ukraine, i venture to say you could say "ukrainafornication" but never been there so i am totally ignorant of how it is like there. Anyway, i love this band and i suggest you to watch the video "dany california" for a succint history of esthetics in pop music. A good overview in just 5 minutes. friendly greetings!

'Окалифорнивать'. Означает прививать привычки,обычаи и традиции штата Калифорния на близлежащие штаты (Невада,Орегон, Вашингтон).То есть 'Окалифорнивать' их, говоря на сленге. Некоторые люди считают,что слово произошло от слияния 'California' (штат Калифорния) и 'Fornication' (секс вне брака и без разбора), якобы приписываемое калифорнийцам и насаждаемое другим.
