"San Bernadino" is a 1970 song by English band Christie. The song did not match the success of their previous single "Yellow River", but was still a top-ten hit in several countries and topped the charts in Switzerland.[1] In the US, the song only managed to peak at number 100 on 30 January 1971.[2] After the song became a hit, the band members admitted that they had never visited the city of San Bernardino, California. Despite this, the song was eventually adopted by the city in 2006 as its City Song.[3]
