Getting born in the state of Mississippi Papa was a copper And mama was a hippie In Alabama She would swing a hammer Price you gotta pay when you break the panorama She never knew That there was anything more than poor What in the world Does your company take me for? Black bandana, sweet Louisiana Robbin' on a bank in the state of Indiana She’s a runner, rebel and a stunner On her merry way sayin’ Baby, watcha gonna? Looking down the barrel Of a hot metal 45 Just another way to survive California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah She’s a lover, baby, and a fighter Shoulda seen it comin’ When it got a little brighter With a name like Dani California The day was gonna come When I was gonna mourn ya A little loaded She was stealin’ another breath I love my baby to death California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah Who knew the other side of you? Who knew what others died to prove? Too true to say goodbye to you Too true to say, say, say Push the fader Gifted animator One for the now And eleven for the later Never made it up to Minnesota North Dakota man Was a gunnin' for the quota Down in the badlands She was savin’ the best for last It only hurts when I laugh Gone too fast California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah California, rest in peace Simultaneous release California, show your teeth She’s my priestess, I'm your priest Yeah, yeah

A estreia internacional na rádio ocorreu em 3 de abril de 2006, quando o locutor Don Jantzen da estação KTBZ-FM de Houston tocou a música ininterruptamente durante todo o seu programa de três horas.
A faixa se tornou a segunda música na história a estrear na primeira posição da parada Billboard Modern Rock, um recorde anteriormente atingido apenas por "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" do R.E.M. em 1994.
"Dani California" ganhou dois prêmios Grammy: Melhor Canção de Rock e Melhor Performance de Rock por um Duo ou Grupo com Voz.
Na parada Billboard Hot 100, a música estreou na 24ª posição e alcançou seu pico na 6ª colocação, sendo o terceiro single da banda a entrar no top 10, após "Under the Bridge" e "Scar Tissue".
No Reino Unido, a faixa atingiu a 2ª posição nas paradas, ficando fora do primeiro lugar apenas por "Crazy" do Gnarls Barkley, empatando com "By the Way" como o maior hit da banda no país até então.
A música foi incluída como faixa jogável no videogame de ritmo Rock Band.
