Song |
"I Love Livin' in the City" is the first single by the punk rock band Fear. It was originally released in 1978 on the Los Angeles-based Criminal Records.
Background
The single's A-side was re-recorded twice: once during the group's unreleased 1979 sessions, and again for its debut album The Record.
"I Love Livin' in the City" is also featured on two video game soundtracks, The Warriors and Tony Hawk's Underground 2. It also appeared in the movie SLC Punk.
The song was covered by Rotting Out (on their This Is Just a Life demo), The Meatmen (both live and on record), and Method of Destruction (as "The City" on 1989 album Gross Misconduct). At a May 2, 2012 Red Hot Chili Peppers show, bassist Flea (who had played in Fear) teased the song as an intro to the Chili Peppers' song, "Look Around".
