Written by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas to promote the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. In central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule. The song has been featured in several films, including Frantic, The Rock, and Forrest Gump.
