Eric Burdons hyllningssång till 60-talets San Fransisco och till den livsstil som präglade staden vid tiden. The Animals är ett helt "nytt" Animals, inte alls samma band som tidigare gjort House of the rising sun m.fl. Vid en konsert i Illinois 2010 sa Burdon att denna låt egentligen handlar om en kväll tillsammans med Janis Joplin i just San Fransisco. Tom Wilson är producent bakom låten, han är även producenten bakom förra låten jag la upp på bloggen Velvet Undergrounds Sunday Morning, en kille som producerar sköna låtar helt enkelt. En i raden av artister som gjort covers på San Fransiscan nights är den svenske artisten Harpo (Jan Harpo Torsten Svensson) 1977.
This following program is dedicated to the city and people of
San Francisco, who may not know it but they are beautiful and so
is their city this is a very personal song, so if the viewer
cannot understand it particularly those of you who are European
residents save up all your brand and fly trans love airways to
San Francisco U.S.A., then maybe you'll understand the song, it
will be worth it, if not for the sake of this song but for the
sake of your own peace of mind.
Strobe lights beam create dreams
walls move minds do too
on a warm San Franciscan night
old child young child feel alright
on a warm San Franciscan night
angels sing leather wings
jeans of blue Harley Davidsons too
on a warm San Franciscan night
old angels young angels feel alright
on a warm San Franciscan night.
I wasn't born there, perhaps I'll die there
there's no place left to go, San Francisco.
Cop's face is filled with hate
heavens above he's on a street called love
when will they even learn
old cop young cop feel alright
on a warm San Franciscan night
the children are cool
they don't raise fools
it's an american dream
includes indians too.
