McKenzie's song became an instant hit. The lyrics tell the listeners, "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair". Due to the difference between the lyrics and the actual title, the title is often quoted as "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)". "San Francisco" reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and was number one in the United Kingdom and most of Europe. The single is purported to have sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The song is credited with bringing thousands of young people to San Francisco, California during the late 1960s.[citation needed]
In Central Europe, young people adopted "San Francisco" as an anthem for freedom, and it was widely played during Czechoslovakia's 1968 Prague Spring uprising against Soviet rule.[citation needed]
The song has been featured in several films, including Frantic, The Rock and Forrest Gump (Wikipedia).

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco

Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion, people in motion

Grammar: Present Perfect Tense and Present Perfect Continuous Tense
Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous
We use the present perfect tense to talk about things where there is a connection between the past and the present.
- He’s written 16 books.
He started writing books at some time in the past. So far, he has written 16 books. He may write more books.
As well as the present perfect simple, we can use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about events with a connection to the present.

As well as the present perfect simple, we can use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about events with a connection to the present.
1 Look at these 2 sentences:
- I’ve been decorating the house this summer. The focus is on the action – decorating – and the action is unfinished.
- I’ve painted the living room blue. The focus is on the finished result. The activity is finished but we can see the result now.
We use the present perfect continuous when the focus is on an activity that is unfinished.

2 Look at these two sentences.
- I’ve read that book you lent me. I finished it yesterday.
- I’ve been reading that book you lent me. I’ve got another 50 pages to read.
The present perfect simple (I’ve read) gives the idea of completion while the present perfect continuous (I’ve been reading) suggests that something is unfinished.

3 Look at these two sentences.
- She’s been writing emails for 3 hours.
- She’s written 10 messages.
The present perfect continuous (has been writing) talks about how long something has been happening. The present perfect simple (has written) talks about how much/how many have been completed.

- I’ve worked here for thirty years.
- I usually work in London but I’ve been working in Birmingham for the last 3 weeks.
We can use the present perfect simple to talk about how long when we view something as permanent. But thepresent perfect continuous is often used to show that something is temporary.

Use
Both tenses are used to express that an action began in the past and is still going on or has just finished. In many cases, both forms are correct, but there is often a difference in meaning: We use the Present Perfect Simple mainly to express that an action is completed or to emphasise the result. We use the Present Perfect Progressive to emphasise the duration or continuous course of an action.
Result or duration?
Do you want to express what has happened so far or how long an action has been going on yet?
| Present Perfect Simple | Present Perfect Progressive |
|---|---|
| Result (what / how much / how often)
I have written 5 letters. / I have been to London twice.
| Duration (how long)
I have been writing for an hour.
|
Certain verbs
The following verbs are usually only used in Present Perfect Simple (not in the progressive form).
- state: be, have (for possession only)Example: We have been on holiday for two weeks.
- senses: feel, hear, see, smell, taste, touchExample: He has touched the painting.
- brain work: believe, know, think, understandExample: I have known him for 3 years.
Emphasis on completion or duration?
Do you want to emphasise the completion of an action or its continuous course (how has somebody spent his time)?
| Present Perfect Simple | Present Perfect Progressive |
|---|---|
| Emphasis on completion
I have done my homework. (Meaning: My homework is completed now.)
| Emphasis on duration
I have been doing my homework. (Meaning: That's how I have spent my time. It does not matter whether the homework is completed now.)
|
Result or side effect?
Do you want to express that a completed action led to a desired result or that the action had an unwanted side effect?
| Present Perfect Simple | Present Perfect Progressive |
|---|---|
| desired result
I have washed the car. (Result: The car is clean now.)
| unwanted side effect
Why are you so wet? - I have been washing the car. (side effect: I became wet when I was washing the car. It does not matter whether the car is clean now.)
|
Time + negation: last time or beginning of an action?
In negative sentences: Do you want to express how much time has past since the last time the action took place or since the beginning of the action?
| Present Perfect Simple | Present Perfect Progressive |
|---|---|
since the last time
I haven't played that game for years. (Meaning: It's years ago that I last played that game.)
|
since the beginning
I haven't been playing that game for an hour, only for 10 minutes. (Meaning: It's not even an hour ago that I started to play that game.)
|
Permanent or temporary?
If an action is still going on and we want to express that it is a permanent situation, we would usually use the Present Perfect Simple. For temporary situations, we would prefer the Present Perfect Progressive. This is not a rule, however, only a tendency.
| Present Perfect Simple | Present Perfect Progressive |
|---|---|
permanent
James has lived in this town for 10 years. (Meaning: He is a permanent resident of this town.)
|
temporary
James has been living here for a year. (Meaning: This situation is only temporary. Maybe he is an exchange student and only here for one or two years.)
