WITH THE 2028 SUMMER OLYMPICS SET TO RETURN TO L.A. IN JULY, 2028, I HAD TO DOWNLOAD RANDY NEWMAN’S FAMOUS ANTHEM: I LOVE L.A. THIS SONG SHOULD BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE 16 DAYS OF COMPETITION FOR OUR U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. It’s a great song, Sir. Kenneth Huang. 8/10/24.
Ironically it was written to be the theme for the '84 Olympics, but the IOC saw the irony in the song and thought "that's not really the kind of image we want for this..."
When did the LA Dodgers start playing this song every time they win a home game? It happened again tonight, October, 6 after LA Dodger Chris Taylor hit a walk-off 2 run HR in the bottom of the 9th. I'm not a Dodger fan, but that was damn exciting, and hearing "I Love LA" was the icing on top of the cake.
@@muttleydastardly3610 every home victory by ever sports team except thr kings I think plays this song. The kings play it after they score iirc. Been a thing for at least 30 years, cuz this song is etched into my memory from every win in my lifetime.
His tone and control of his lyrics is amazing. I’m a musician, and blown away by the subtle nuisances and way he sings and plays. Cannot replicate him.
Yeah this tune is paradoxically highly celebrated yet under appreciated. It’s deceptively complex, beautifully structured, packed to the gills with tons of disparate musical ideas, all of which fit together so neatly. I Love L.A. is an elegant masterpiece of a song.
I spent 6 months in LA this year and I unironically echo this song. Why? Because its the only place on this planet where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon and still be back to hold a paying job the next morning. It's nuts - full of crazies who both make your day hard - but also change the world. And speaking of the world - it's truly a microcosm. LA isn't a city, it's a culture and nearly a civilisation of its own, one that treasures its prominence and diversity in all the right ways. I love LA.
You're hallucinatin'. No way beach to mountain within hours. Too much traffic!! L.A.'s unique, terrific and terrible all at once, will give it that. The place needs a Buffalo NY 6' snowstorm from Pacific coast to Rocky Mountains. Water wate... wat... wa... w... ... ... ... ...
This video is a nice nostalgic time capsule of a time LONG GONE. Hey Randy, try making ths video all over again, same locations, in 2024!!!! lololololololololol!!!!
You want genius? Newman scored the movie(not the broad way show) RAGTIME... listen to that playlist. He brought his style to the year 1906. Have fun Earl!
What a killer time to have lived in LA. ( i was in Sacramento at the time...but coming down to showcase in the 'hollywood rock club scene then) and, hearing this song...seeing the video of ..'how it used to be'...and hearing essentially, the Toto Band... backing up Randy here...just makes the heart long for all those wonderful moons ago. what a time...
Before the dookeycrats made it a SHITHOLE. Back when you had Republican governments and LA had Republican mayors, LA and California were the most dynamic and powerful ONE TWO punch in the world! Now look at them. After 19 years of complete dookeycrat control, the entire state is a steaming shithole! Hell, Even Cleveland stomps the fuck out of L Shit!😆 No offense to Cleveland. It's always been a big turd! 😁
To those who tell the Lakers and Dodgers to “Enjoy the asterisk”, I say F**K THE ASTERISK!! A WIN IS A WIN DESPITE THE HELL COVID-19 WREAK ON THIS NATION AND AROUND THE GLOBE 🌎!!
It's also Steve Lukather's screaming guitar, the late, great Jeff Porcaro on drum and David Paich on the Fender Rhodes, all from Toto with the ever present, Waddy Wachtel on rhythm guitar! Also Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie on backing vocals. What a cast!
@@ninevehguitar I know. It used to be my favorite city though I had never been there. Fell in love with it in the mid 70s watching Battle of the Network Stars and CHIPS. I'm so pissed at what dookeycrats have done to it. Now you couldn't pay me to go there. Sad.
I was watching “Naked Gun” and heard this one in it. Been listening to this one all week lol I can’t believe I just now heard and found it. Was born in 1987 lol
FERNANDO AND THE BULLDOG .. tommy ,steve garvey , magic , kareem , worthy , rambis etc . LA fair in pomona .. my 83 celica .. fishing at big bear .. good times .. i love LA .

When this song came out....California was still enchanting and L.A.was a great place for fun.I would not say that now.They have to get back to basic law and order just to start cleaning it up.California is a great State that needs an attitude adjustment.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe California isn’t the one with the bad attitude problem? There are places in California that need cleaned up for sure but point to a state that doesn’t have its dirty spots that need some fixing? There isn’t one.
That song was used in the baseball scene in a 1988 film "The Naked Gun: From The Filed Of Police Squad!" and in the ending and end credits to a 1997 film "Vocano".
Theres something about the 80s what i can remember was this.....people worked hard...no social media.....th way the sun glared in the 80s something nostalgic...the grass was greener and fresh....the trees were beautiful the music was the best 👌 👍 ...people socializing no anxiety just people out there enjoying the time out there....bmx, skateboards, 10 speeds...parks were filled kids like me having the time of our lives....Wow what a time to be alive i miss the good ole 80s 😢
My 2 year old daughter is obsessed with that song from toy story! Thought i recognized the voice! I am from LA!!! I used to live near imperial highway!! Lived on century! The east side! Grew up on the east side! I miss my pops so much right now!! I can hear him and my Ma laughin their butts off watchin naked gun!! It was a family experience like no other! I LOVE LA!!!
Going back to LA again for the first time in 32 years (back when this song was only 9 years old) next week, this song/video has me very pumped for it. 🙂
I moved here in the mid-70s. Fulfillment of a dream. Even after all these years, this video moves me to tears of joy. No, LA isn’t perfect. No place is. But, my God, why would anyone live in hideous, graceless, mountainless Texas ( where the only good thing is the brisket) or disgusting, bug-ridden, sticky-icky Florida (where the only good thing is .. wait… I’m thinking .. ok, nothing) rather than HERE, where your wet bathing suit dries out in 20 minutes, rain will never spoil your summer picnic, and the mountains lift your spirits every day? No way. Newman captured the beauty, the pride, and the exultation that comes with spending life in one of earth’s most magnificent settings. Our taxes are high, but hey, no snow, no hurricanes, no tornadoes, no alligators that love to chomp on old ladies like me, almost no mosquitoes, and - even today, if you know where to look - acres of free parking. I grew up in NYC, freezing my tail off on bus stops, fending off weirdos (yes, even then) in the subway, and I HATED it from the time I could talk. Give me my car, lock the doors, and leave me alone! LA is freedom. Long live Newman.
I left my home LA, 20 years ago. It's sad to see what politicians have done to destroy it, but every time I hear this song, it gives me hope that one day it will return to sanity.
That is Steve Lukather on guitar, David Paich on keys, and the late great Jeff Porcaro on drums - on video and in your ears. Known collectively as Toto.
I just realized this too from something I saw on Instagram about Toto!!!! I remember hearing this song as a kid, but don’t remember seeing the video. I would have remembered Luke, Paich & Jeff b/c even as a little kid I already loved Toto. After seeing the Instagram post I HAD to come look for the video. Really glad it’s here b/c some things from back then are hit or miss to find here. This is great! A fun song to begin with, but realizing not just one of your favorite bands, but your favorite musician -Luke- is playing on it really kicks it up a notch!!! ❤️✨🎸🥁🎹✨❤️ Including them in the video, that’s just gold🤩
Funny, I had a Buick like this (and a redhead girlfriend!) but the town was Tempe AZ. You never hear songs about other places... that make you wonder why you don't live there already.
I was born in Los Angeles in 1959. I graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1977. I've lived in Denver since 1997. But no matter where I am, I'm a 60s, 70s, and 80s, Southern Californian.
Randy used to love LA until he jumped onto the 405 at 4pm.
He and the big nasty redhead could use the diamond lane.
Been there, done that. Lol
405 South (from the Hills to past LAX) usually isn't that bad, only Afternoon rush hour, North is F-ed up pretty much nonstop until early evening
elon musk's boring tunnels underground should help solve some of the traffic.
Traffic on the 405 is enough to make anyone not love LA.
WITH THE 2028 SUMMER OLYMPICS SET TO RETURN TO L.A. IN JULY, 2028, I HAD TO DOWNLOAD RANDY NEWMAN’S FAMOUS ANTHEM: I LOVE L.A.
THIS SONG SHOULD BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE 16 DAYS OF COMPETITION FOR OUR U.S. OLYMPIC TEAM. It’s a great song, Sir.
Kenneth Huang. 8/10/24.
Absolutely
Spot on!
But only if L.A. can turn itself around and live up to the song :)
Please let this be played in the leadup to the 2028 Olympics
Ironically it was written to be the theme for the '84 Olympics, but the IOC saw the irony in the song and thought "that's not really the kind of image we want for this..."
@@mcj88 Then don't play the first four lyrics.
I attended the 84 Olympic Games out there and heard this song on the radio several times driving around..Memories

Subtle nuisances…??? Lol. I think you mean nuances!

World Champions? Of which "world", the USA?
But anyway: Who cares? ;-)
We did it!
I spent 6 months in LA this year and I unironically echo this song.
Why?
Because its the only place on this planet where you can surf in the morning and ski in the afternoon and still be back to hold a paying job the next morning.
It's nuts - full of crazies who both make your day hard - but also change the world.
And speaking of the world - it's truly a microcosm.
LA isn't a city, it's a culture and nearly a civilisation of its own, one that treasures its prominence and diversity in all the right ways.
I love LA.
Well said and it is a tragedy what is happening now, because of greedy, corrupt politicians.
WE LOVE IT!
