| | | | | Scott Mckenzie - San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers in Your Hair) | "San Francisco" was actually inspired by Scott's paranoia about the Festival's (Monterey Pop Music Festival) more...potential gi-normousness.
My childhood chum (Scott Mckenzie) had this idea: 'Why don't we write a song - well, why don't you, John, write one - saying something like, "If you go to San Francisco for the Monterey Pop Festival, like, behave yourselves - let's not have a big riot up there."
So the first thing that came to mind was sort of a Grecian Olympic athlete image with the wreath on the winner's head and flowers in your hair, so I thought that would be the proper image for the song.
About 20 minutes later I'd finished it and told Scott. He and I played it for Lou (Adler) that night, we recorded it the next night, and it came out the following Monday. And just as fast, it became a worldwide hit. I mean, one week, Scott wasn't even recording and the next week he was internationally known, the High Guru of Flower Power. He's never forgiven me for that." - John Phillips (The Mamas & the Papas) less
