LA song lyrics???

Question

I'm writing a paper for a class and I need to quote lyrics from a song that talks about Los Angeles. I'm looking for something that highlights that glitz and glamour of the city. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks!!

Answer 1

I Love LA, as quoted above, is the epitome. But if everyone else has the same assignment, you're all going to have the same song.

So for an alternative, how about L.A. Woman by the doors?

Or, Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger (wow, I'm dating myself):

Answer 2

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me, you bad girl

Rollin' down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana wind blowin' hot from the north
And we was born to ride

Roll down the window, put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don't let the music stop
We're gonna ride it till we just can't ride it no more

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He's down on his knees
Look at these women
There ain't nothin' like em nowhere

Century Boulevard (We love it)
Victory Boulevard (We love it)
Santa Monica Boulevard (We love it)
Sixth Street (We love it, we love it, we love it)

We love L.A.!!

I love L.A.
I love L.A.
(We love it)
I love L.A.
(We love it)

Answer 3

I got the perfect song if you like rap, if not its still great, the song by Tupac "To live and die in LA"

Answer 4

under the bridge by red hot chilli peppers.
