Content
The song is about a marital affair with a woman in California which is unveiled when the mistress in the situation calls the narrator's wife, after which the wife questions the narrator with the song's title. No resolution is given to the song's question. According to Raven, he originally wanted to title the song "Who Do You Know in Dallas", but he felt that "California" fit the song's meter better.[2]

gollark: A few things to look for might be... bytecode, I guess, keywords like "payload", "uninstall", some process IDs as 6_4 suggested, hmm, what else.
