"IF YOU’RE GOING TO SAN FRANCISCO, BE SURE TO PUT SOME FLOWERS 💐💐 IN YOUR HAIR."

Written by John Phillips (Mamas & Papas) in about 20 minutes. He gave the song to his old friend Scott Mckenzie who was with Phillips in the group named The Journeymen.

It was the biggest thing Scott ever did.

Thanks for the information.

My reason for presenting that song (written in 1967) is that was descriptive of what happened to San Francisco in the 1960’s. The song became the unofficial anthem of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, including the Hippie, Anti-Vietnam War and Flower power movements.

THAT movement completely changed San Francisco from a Republican City to a LIBERAL, LEFT WING city.
