Today's Forgotten Oldie...

"San Franciscan Nights" was a top ten hit in 1967 for Eric Burdon and the Animals. Other than Burdon, this is not the same band that gave us House of the Rising Sun. All the other original members were gone, and the band had moved from England to California to bask in the Hippie movement.  This song attempts to showcase every political issue of the 60's, and almost pulls it off.  Still a great tune, and mostly forgotten by programmers.
