  • I love this song about beautiful San Francisco.

  • прекрасная песенка супер не то что сейчас

  • Come on guys let's change the world! I have a feeling 2012 will be a great year. #OccupyWillNeverDie :)

  • solche lieder überleben ebbe und flut und alle gezeiten...

  • smoke weed <3

    

  • des is in Friedel sei Lieblingssong...meiner auch...

  • I hope Caesar and the other " Apes" are still flourishing . I guess they must be , if they're going to rake over.

  • The song was covered in 2005

  • Pure Magic !

  • These were the best years of my life great music more of a free life you could party your head off with out to much hassle. Going to Woodstock was great me and my friends went we broke down and thumbed the rest of the way we just took the plates off the car and left there it was one wild time I will never forget. I would love to turn the clocks bake just for a week.

  • A youth movement rebelling about an unjust and unnecessary war in a distant place no one cared about. Young men dying in terrible conditions . They are now in their 60s and 70s , those like me who were about to become teenagers are in their 50s.

    They probably wonder about the 99% movement like their parents who had fought in WWII wondered at the 60s.

    Plus ça change

  • i was one year old when this stuff was happening! i would have liked to have been a teenager and been there.

  • dass auch,immer wider geil

  • das waren noch zeiten

  • i like this song:)

  • oui je suis d'accord la plus belle mélodie du monde!avec le mouvement hippies! que de l'amour ! pour ce que ça a servi !!!!!!!

  • The Golden Years, If only  the world understood this generation, ........I loved it and miss it, we had nothing yet we were always happy.

  • @HippyGo 40 years ago folks were longing for the 1920s, and 40 yrs hence folks will be sighing to have lived now. Each generation offers new interest, you just have to be open to new experiences. Peace!

  • Wonderful song!

  • cool ;D

  • My dad still loves this music so much.. so do I :) thumbs up if you agree

  • i just like the i intro and the vers. this is my opinion and everyone can have their own opinion right?

  • Diese Musik liebte ich in den 70er Jahren, i loved it so much!!!!

  • Wish I could turn back the hands of time sometimes. :(

  • It was my generation. The people, the music, clothes, just being there. Believe me it was an awesome-groovy time to be young! Have been livin' healthy ever since (lots of aerobics) & living life to its fullest today. The memories are wonderful, but living in today is kool too. God Bless You All.

  • @VaudevilleJoe1925 as a gen x'er i beleive we were the best generation ever!, after the 60's of course.

  • When I hear this song, i feel another time, another place that i never got to know because my decade is the wrong.

    But although we are surely all born in the wrong generation, it's important to feel the sixties through the music and to keep it alive.

    I love it!

  • I like :)

  • thumbs up if you were born in the wrong generation

  • you teenagers who think they were born in the wrong decade: they had no internet back then

  • @SuperStonedWeed Right... AND no mobile phones. If you met a guy at a party and gave him your number, you didn't leave home the next 3 days in hopes he'd call you. (And it was out of the question for a girl to call a boy first.)

  • Definitely I was born in the wrong decade!

    I fell like I miss those decades,

    but how can I miss something that I had not lived?

  • @eltonpcaires so, you would give up internet, cell phones, PS3, All your games and you youtube account? don't think so either

  • @SuperStonedWeed Yeah I'd give it all up. The only one I have now is the internet- the rest I don't.

  • How someone could dislike this?! Are they retarded? It's so beautiful song !

  • i liston to the musik first in a techno sound mix then i want to listen teh real sound

  • Monterey in black and white? Ouch.

  • Forest Gump!!

  • Just visited San Francisco for the first time this past weekend. I am in love.

  • piece

  • Just lovin it. <3

  • Ive raped the replay buton

  • There is something magical about this song!

  • What an amazing, dreamy song.....this will be never forgotten, not in 500 years!

  • Je pourrais écouter cette chanson tout le temps. Pourquoi à notre époque personne n'arrive à faire un chef-d’œuvre comme celui-ci :'( Pourquoi à notre époque les artistes ne sont motivés que par l'argent...?

    60-70-80's <3 :'(

  • I have been to San Fransisco from Turkey and I saw lot of countries in Europe too but the most beatiful place I have ever been is San Fransisco.

  • C'était la première fois que j'ai eu 20 ans.

  • I know I was there in my first incarnation.

  • Why can't anyone be a bit more "hippie"? I want a different generation!

  • Von einem Sündenfall Dass sie blind macht ist fast schon Verleumdung Aber von Liebe bleibt in der Erkenntnis mehr als von der Erkenntnis bleibt in der Liebe Im Paradies wuchs der Baum der Erkenntnis Auch der Baum des Lebens soll noch dort gestanden haben aber der Baum der Liebe war damals schon umgehauen Ein Ast von ihm ringelte sich zur Schlange
  • hahaha 0:19.... this song is #1

  • theyll never be peace,one man will always disagree with 1 another,nice idea,fuelled by acid nd herion,but great tune...x

  • This is the exact QUALITY of this song that i love...not the other bologna music...or covers..I want the original...  but...the quality of this could be better.

  • @usmctelles But it's precisely the "AM" (medium wave) quality of the sound that places it in the Sixties.

    Great posting, thanks!

  • Dont say " I hate my generation I was born in the wrong decade" go out and change the world!

    peace, true democracy and respect

  • @The91Walrus

    I agree with you Walrus! "Our" generation started with Pat Boone and went on to become THE generation. Sadly it then went to the ME generation, and now the "i Generation"

  • @The91Walrus

    I agree with you Walrus! "Our" generation started with Pat Boone and went on to become THE generation. Sadly it then went to the ME generation, and now the "i Generation"

  • fuck my generation....mann

  • ich habe nie so über die 60th nachgedacht, aber durch diesen song, er beschreibt die Gefühle, die gemeinschaft, die liebe... dieser song beschreibt die welt wie sie sein sollte, alle sind so fröhlich...

    now in my (not so good ;) english:

    i've never thought about the 60th, but this song discribes the feelings, the community, the love... ist disrcibes the world like it have to be, everybody seems to be happy

  • @littleAngel0397

    ja stimmt schon ... was früher die "hippie zeit" war ist heute die techno-szene da ist es auch eine gemeinschaft voller liebe (Akzeptanz, gemeinschaft, zusammenhalt.... usw)

    achaj nebenbei die drogen die man in denn szenen benutzt sind auch gleich ;)

  • @xXM1N1M4LXx

    ich weiß nicht ob die ganzen schlägerein liebesbeweise sind... heutzutage geht alles nur noch mit der faust zu regeln, man kommt im leben nur weiter wenn man mit ellenbogen durchmarschiert. einige haben einfach keinen respekt, und das ist was unserer gesellschaft fehlt. wenn ich schon wieder höre das in meinem kaff 5 jugendliche 2 ältere herrn zusammengeschlagen haben, das macht mich traurig...

  • Comment removed

  • found the five who do not like this song I think the song is good (Serbia)

  • i was born in the wrong generation blabla GUYS COME ON WHY SO NEGATIVE? there's still many wonderful things in this decade to enjoy, many new things aswell. there may be things you don't like, as i do, but you shouldn't let them bring you down. i bet every decade had a thing or two they didn't like about society.

  • How could bald men wear flowers in their hair????

  • me also im a hippie peace man

  • humanity has its moments, but generally, its a story of failed species...

  • what the f*** that is horrible,

    joke ;) I like this song 5 stars

  • @ThieleMr you are right five stars

  • THIS was the time people used to be happy...

  • This is one good old song from way back then......if not the best

  • im 19 and i dont give a damn how old r u

  • Hermosa cancion.

  • du bist hässlich :

  • And what is this nonsense about idilic life. The native indian tribes constantly fought against one another.

  • Greed is natural.

  • Peace exists but is impossible to achieve, due to the nature of man.

    There is only war.

  • @Rullakebabsu

    Kid, please. There was peace in what we now call America, an idilic life but when Europeans arrived it was ruined. And now you're using your nature as an excuse for your greed.

  • @Rullakebabsu That is deep. Peace exists in many rectal cavities, butt I imagine is impossible to achieve in yours due to the nature of all that constant ripping and tearing what with the gonorrhea and chlamydia as well.

  • @ssafuss

    Hi, I'm a teenage french, and I really agree with you (sry for poor English^^')

    A lot of friend and me are saying that we was born to late to have good music...

    so today we live in the past, but we're trying to write news songs like theses old songs... Today, most of the song are insipid, and the good songs aren't relieved by the media (economic cause, that's all...)

    Wa ça fait longtemps que je n'avais pas parlé en anglais, j'ai bien galéré pour écrire ce message -très- médiocre^^

  • great song

  • Love and Peace is needed in our world

    greetings and hope for a new revolution of decriminilization from germany

    I LOVE the 60´s

    i would kill myself to be at woostock 69 just for 10 minutes

  • It is amazing how many young people love the music of the sixties and wish they grew up back then. I was someone who grew up in the sixties and loved it - wish I could go back to that special time!

  • i like the global dj's version of this song...

  • i miss San Francisco. and for those who say they hate this generation. don't say that. this past decade has been rough but the wonderful music back then was created from having some rough times. there is some great culture now days. you just have to look a little bit harder.

  • Just can say: perfect song

    Yeeah gad geester an dr faasnacht glooffee...andeersch abgangee!!!!:p

  • this is the best song that I listened when I was a kid

    today people are very rude, after people help thiers, i now that my english maybe isn't the best but, can you speak in poland like i can speak in english ;> :D?

  • this is just so touching. there are not many artists who have ever made something like this

  • Scott McKenzie, one of the best! San Francisco is a wonderful town and there are very nice people!!! This video is great!!!

  • Very foggy in Summer and in Winter a nagging cold wind means you have to wear a sweater.The sea is freezing cold all year round,but what a beautiful city and nice people

  • the only normal video of this song on youtube. :) thanks!

  • Nachtrag: Es ging uns nicht nur um kommerziell gnadenlos vermarktete Wunschfantasien à la Scott M. sondern auch um die Wahrheit über uns selbst und die Stärkung unseres Selbst, indem wir einander helfen, uns in unser Innenwelt und unserem sozialen Umfeld täuschungsfreier zu orientieren und eine Alternative zur damaligen, noch von Nachkriegsnot herrührenden, blinden Konsumgeilheit zu finden.

  • Eine wunderbare Melodie und ein großer Traum. Ich habe noch ein bisschen davon mitbekommen. Mir haben Frauen wirklich Blumen in die Haare geflochten. Doch die Zeiten waren nicht so friedlich, wie es "Scotty" im Namen vieler Amerikaner etc. in seinem Lied behauptet hat. Es die Zeit des Kalten Krieges, in der der damalige US-Präsident  Nixon die Nordvietnamesen "in die Steinzeit zurückbomben" wollte. In Deutschland gab es übrigens noch sehr viele Nazis in hohen Positionen. Leider nur ein Traum.

  • Brilliant Song .. Happy Times 

  • Brillian I love this Song.xx

  • From Jakarta, Indonesia. I would like to say, thank you for the great music and video. Lovely.

  • @ssafuss...... du sprichst mir aus der seele, leider wird "musik" heute mehr genutzt um sich darzustellen(trends,styles) und nicht um etwas zu vermitteln oder auszudrücken(emotionen,gefühle­) so schwul das vll. klingen mag, aber musik wird immer erfüllter und besser sein, wenn leute an ihren instrumenten jedem einzelnden ton ihre gefühle,emotionen aufdrücken, als jemand der am computer sitzt und alles mehr oder weniger per mausklick macht.

  • @guitardope123 Sehr gut gesagt !

  • ein klassiker

  • very good

  • Musica muito boa, prover ir para Sao Francisco do Sul. Brasil.

  • These were the days when real music was written. It had meaning

  • THIS SONG IS REALLY GOOD!

  • Nostalgia wannabes gonna nostalgia.

  • I'm only 15 but I think that the music of earlier is better than the bullshit runs today.

  • Aus welchem Jahr ist das Lied ? ♥

  • @RegenbogenCat 1967 ;)

  • @jadorevienne Lebt der Mann noch O.o ?

  • @RegenbogenCat ja ;)

  • @jadorevienne und wie alt ist der jetzt ;D ?

  • best time ever

  • We should have exterminated the hippies back in the 60s when we had a chance

  • @Aidpagemoocher YOU should have been exterminated before birth, you fat, nasty, racist, dirty old pedophile! You should have been aborted! Ignorant motherfucker.

  • @Thegrinch17 And your mother should have swallowed.

    Ah, the nasty Irish whore, Ive never heard of a hooker who didnt swallow !

    Maybe the fat bitch was wanting a welfare child, and she got one and named it Grinch17

  • @Aidpagemoocher You know nothing about me, so how would you know if I'm Irish, Asian, Black or whatever? I do know for a fact that you're a dirty, fat Mexican piece of trash! LOL! Fucking 54 year old loser who plays on the internet! PATHETIC!

  • @Thegrinch17 welll hunny, I know you're a 52 yr old paraplegic who wears diapers.

    Of course what people here don't know is you were once my gay lover

  • @MrNathanForst You know nothing about me & never will, so stfu already! I'm a stranger to you & I want to keep it that way. I think you would, too. If we ever met face to face, I guarantee you you wouldn't like the outcome of that meeting... >:)

  • @Thegrinch17 you're an idiot.

    Firsdt off you contradict yourself by claiming I know nothing about you but at the same time you claim I'm, like 54 , and Hispanic ?

    Please show proof of your absurd assertion.

  • @Aidpagemoocher Hahaha! You just gave yourself away as having multiple Youtube trolling accounts, you stupid, worthless fuck! This proves what a fucking liar you are. Every single thing you type is a lie & you're a racist sack of shit. Fucking loser!

  • @Thegrinch17 I never said I didnt have multiple accounts. I would ask you to back your assertion, but that would be a waste of time.

    Speaking of losers, whats it like being a wheelchair and not being able to fuck ?

  • THIS is music ... not this Justin Bieber crap.

  • the original is the best!!!!

  • Fue 1967 cuando fui a San Francisco ,y desde entonces me encanto...y esta rola de Scott McKenzie sonaba mucho en la KFRC.,mi estacion de radio favorita...Gratos recuerdos de esos tiempos en casa de mis tios y primos en San Lorenzo..Gracias tio Juan tia Maria..q.e.p.d...gracias a todos mis primos....amor y paz !

  • san franciscoooooooooooooooooooo

  • great!

  • Nice

  • Spent the summer of '67 riding a 305 Honda around SF/Bay Area putting up Avalon posters for Helms & the Dog wish I still had just the leftovers I'd be a rich man from what I hear about those old posters & handbills.

    NAB :-)

  • отменно

  • Lovely years.! Always reminds me my youth.

  • oh man, i wan´t the 60´s back!!!!

  • Hermosa cancion

  • Comment removed

  • i love moscow

  • @francisco5605 scheiß kommentar

  • @schleussinge fail language :/

  • i wished i was born at this time i were a hippy i swear now i´m a hippy of the furure and i´m proud of it

  • @poisonfan86 I was 3 years old when this song came out. I do remember hearing this song on the radio when I was a small boy.

  • @BananaJSSI cool this song takes you back to you´re childhood too. great have a nice weekend

  • @poisonfan86 Indeed it does. Right back at ya man. Enjoy the weekend

  • @BananaJSSI yeah i try to enjoy it i was at work 2 hours ago now chilling with this amazing song

  • @poisonfan86 Right on! I get the weekend off so I have been doing Fall clean up around the garden. Taking advantage of the nice weather.

  • In 1967 I was a boy of 15 years old but i still remember this song, as if it was released only yesterday, It was a wonderful time, a great period with great music, and optimism, pity i didn't last longer as a few years.

  • das wunderbarste Lied überhaupt !!

  • I was there then. SO many strange things happening all at once. War & Peace in a terrible unity. People landing on the moon and people getting assassinated . You just never knew if anyone would get out alive. That which didn't kill us may have made us stronger ... but none the wiser.

  • This song isn't just for the hippies; us jungle grunts loved it too - it gave us something to look forward to.

  • I miss home can't wait to go back and visit.

  • san fransisco !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hippie rocks!
