Phantom Planet - California
Clichéd? Sure. Overplayed? Certainly. Theme song to the best show on television for the entirety of my high school years? You bet Seth's sweet ass it is.
Random little known fact: Phantom Planet gives credit to previous playlist song "California, Here I Come", crediting the song as being part of their inspiration and, though this sounds like a stretch to me, the line "California, here we come / Right back where we started from" is supposedly a nod to the song.
And, if I may, to bridge the gap between past and future life experiences, let me throw down "On the Run" (originally "I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman", apparently changed for US distribution) by Toronto's K-os, which samples Phantom Planet's Cali anthem.
...as for me, I'm off to indulge in some O.C. reruns on the Soap Network. (Season 4 still kicks ass--haterz!)
