"Home in Pasadena" is a song with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Grant Clarke and Edgar Leslie.[1][2] In the song, the singer, about to travel to Pasadena by Pullman Train, describes the attractions of his destination.
It was published in 1923, early in Warren's songwriting career, a year after his first published song "Rose of the Rio Grande".[3] In 1924 it was recorded by Paul Whiteman, by Billy Murray with Ed Smalle, and by Al Jolson.[1]
The British band The Temperance Seven recorded the song, with the title "Pasadena", in 1961.[1][4] The Pasadena Roof Orchestra, a British band founded in 1969, was named after the song.[5]
