At some point we've all sung along to Scott Mackenzie's hippie anthem, "If You're Going to San Francisco," and to Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," but there are several tunes that pay tribute to our Paris of the West.

"Life in California (Used Up Man)," lyrics by David. G. Robinson, early 1850s

Or else the city'd sell me to pay up my physician
