About the Song
“San Francisco” by Scott McKenzie is one of three songs the MonaLisa Twins recorded to go along with their trip to the West Coast of America in 2008. They shot their first big music videos there which helped kick off their YouTube career.
“When we recorded our version of this famous hippie anthem we really took care not to mess up what for so many people is a sacred piece of music. But we also couldn’t resist to give it a little twist by adding great amounts of harmonies to the last chorus while still trying to stay true to the essence of the song. That we got so much great feedback on it made us really happy.”

A wonderful version of a classic (actually written by John Phillips for Scott McKenzie).
Jung Roe –
San Franciso by Scott McKenzie is one of my all-time favorite songs. I’ve heard many versions of this great song over the years, and MonaLisa Twins version is the most beautiful I have heard. Their angelic voices and incredible harmony will truly move you. I think Scott McKenzie would be very proud to see his creation so beautifully interpreted by Mona and Lisa. Their original song writing is just as beautiful.
I highly recommend getting the “California Dreaming” album to experience the magic sound of the MonaLisa Twins. They are truly one of the best new rock/pop music talents to arise today with their incredible singing and original music (Orange is their new original album).
