Cover art for Crown Of The Valley lyrics by Jets to Brazil

This is a song about the immigrant influx and social changes in Pasadena in the 60s. The supposedly "upstanding" members of the community are threatened by this change:

"Thought we had the lock in '54 / now the maid owns the house next door / and what's more / swims in the pool she used to clean / our new king looks like a queen."
