Hole: Malibu
John Phillips: Malibu People

Things that half-count:

Bacharach's Pacific Coast Highway
Neil Young's Zuma album

I had counted about a half-dozen or so a few months ago but I've since forgotten them. Surely there are some Beach Boys songs, maybe a Jan and Dean number? I'm sure Tim Ellison or Geir would be of some help.

i'm guessing there's something on the self titled Terry Melcher album, but don't have it in front of me.

There is a Jan and Dean song about the "sun and fun of Malibu Beach" but I don't recall the title. "Summer Means Fun", also by J&D kicks off by mentioning "surfin' everyday down at Malibu".

The song "Butthole Surfer" (by themselves) features this couplet: "I was running rings around Malibu Beach/A man came up to me he was looking like a leech".

GUYS, what about Kyle Gass's 'Malibu', a 40-second secret track at the end of Tenacious D's self-titled album?

Oh yeah, also Kevin Federline's album had some stuff I think. How I know that without ever listening to the album itself is something I don't remember and should be happy I've forgotten.

"Mountains Fall Down" by Michael Haaga. Amazing song on an incredible, unknown record.

"Sunset Grill" by Don Henley.

Was also heard at the time as a part-riposte to "Shelter From the Storm"; Dylan owned a Malibu house at the time. (Lost it in his first divorce?)
