"the ones that are acclaimed in song and verse".

[thbucks]

I could not quite get the first part.

"Oakland, We're for you....

We are sure that you're aware of famous cities everywhere

The ones that I am acquainted with songs at first..."

Am I right?

[Baridan]

This is an amazingly wonderful piece of Americana. Is there anyplace I can find more from the Goodtime Washboard 3? I just LOVE them!!

Oooh...but I still can't stand the Raiders... :D

OMG, I love this. It's so Oakland. Unlike that other city across the bay (what do they call that place? I always forget.), we don't take ourselves too seriously in Oaktown. A great song for a great city.

[Nostalgist1938]

It's an old recording by the Goodtime Washboard 3, one of the great Bay Area groups from the early 1960s.
