The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" from …Blow in the Wind (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: How in the Sam Hill did the San Francisco of yore ever become the San Francisco of now? Danged hippies!
"If you're goin' to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair,
If you're goin' to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there…"
Also, the Gimme Gimmes give the song's title as "San Francisco," but it is properly titled "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)," so I reversed R.B.D.S.O.T.D. standard overrode & went against the album's given song title. Using proper titles shall henceforth be standard operating procedure.

Surprised you didn't go with "San Francisco" by Mu330!
I considered Mu330's "San Francisco," & listened to both songs this morning, as well as the other San Francisco-themed songs in my music library, but the Gimme Gimmes' cover of Scott McKenzie's hippy ballad was the song that seemed to be the most about the city of San Francisco.
