A Musical Plea

[e_juliana]

Could my lovely and talented and knowledgeable f-list point me toward/hook me up with the following:

Songs about San Francisco (Bay Area/California will work, but I'm specifically looking for songs that reference SF).

Songs about Minneapolis (St. Paul will also work, but I'd prefer Minneapolis).

I've got a few (Lucero's "San Francisco", Lucinda Williams' "Minneapolis", "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay", Semisonic's body of work, etc.), but more is better in these cases.

Thanks, y'all.

Diesel, "Sausalito Summernight"

The Dinosaurs, "San Francisco" (never recorded, but I have a KILLER live version from 1982, with Kathi McDonald singing lead)

Jerry Garcia "Mission in the Rain" (studio version on one of his CDs, but the live versions are kickass and I have a few of them)

Scott McKenzie- San Francisco (Flowers in Your Hair)

Journey- Lights

Also one called "San Francisco Days, San Francisco Nights" by Chris Isaak.

San Francisco Bay Blues, by Eric Clapton leaps to mind. Also "Come Back from San Francisco" by Magnetic Fields ("lest pretty boys there tempt you).

I Left My Heart in...but I suspect that's not the vibe you are looking for.

"We Built This City on Rock and Roll" by Jefferson Airplane Starship Whatever is about SF.

Will think of more. Also will think about MN.

(And yeah, I know SFBayBlues isn't *by* Clapton, but I dig his version)

San Francisco Days, by Chris Isaak.

I keep thinking Prince must've done something about Minneapolis. Maybe "Manic Monday" counts?

How about "Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis" variously by Tom Waits or the Ataris?
