"Theme from ''San Francisco''," also known as "San Francisco," is a song from the 1936 American film ''San Francisco''. It was written by Bronislaw Kaper and Walter Jurmann, with lyrics by Gus Kahn. It is sung by Jeanette MacDonald six times in the film, and becomes an anthem for the survivors of the 1906 earthquake. The opening lyrics are as follows: "San Francisco, open your Golden Gate You'll let nobody wait outside your door San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one Saying I'll wander no more. " The song is now a popular sentimental sing-along at public events such as the city's annual earthquake commemoration. It is one of two official city songs, along with "I Left My Heart in San Francisco."〔(sfmuseum.org )〕 Judy Garland included the song to her concert repertoire, with a new introduction that starts, "I never will forget Jeanette MacDonald; just to think of her it gives my heart a pang. I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette, just stood there in the ruins and sang. A-a-a-and sang..." She opened a late 1950s concert at the Cow Palace with her version. It was so well and tumultuously received that she sang it again as an encore. The song was also sung by the cast of ''Beach Blanket Babylon'' at Candlestick Park prior to Game 3 of the 1989 World Series on October 27, 1989, ten days following the Loma Prieta earthquake. The song is played after every score by the San Francisco 49ers at Candlestick Park. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Theme from San Francisco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
