"San Francisco", de John Phillips, du groupe The Mamas and The Papas, a été écrit pour promouvoir le festival de musique pop de Monterey de juin 1967, premier grand festival de rock et signal de départ du "Summer of love" de San Francisco, rencontre phare de la contre-culture hippie, à l’été 1967.
Scott McKenzie est le nom de scène de Philip Blondheim, ami d’enfance de John Phillips. Dès sa sortie, la chanson "San Francisco" devient un succès mondial, sorte d’hymne du mouvement hippie.
If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there
*
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
*
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There’s a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
*
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
*
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
