Very catchy tune, you feel kind of happy when listening to this and isn't that the purpose of music? At least music from The Great Era Of Real Music, the 60's, 70's and 80's make me feel that way!
I've always liked this song. When I was 4 yrs old, I would play this 45 rpm on my record player. But seriously... what's up with the faggoty stewardess/smock/skirt thingies. A guy turned up on a Paper Lace film recording wearing the same damn thing, but the video is in color and the smock/skirt is powder blue and as fruity as you get. "Night Chicago Died" is a good song. What's up with the homo look? And was he a wash up from Vanity Fair?
I got Honorably Discharged from the Marines and was released in San Diego to the streets of California in 1975, I hitched a ride from there to LA it took me two days and I slept on the beach with a fire to keep warm, these days you can't even walk on the beach past dark or you are arrested and insofar as hitching a ride on a California freeway, it's suicide. My what a great world we will leave our children.
whatever happened to hitching rides?????????? . no way on earth would I ever recommend anyone hitch a ride as before. but there was a time you could cross all of the USA this way
I sure miss the Old Ways"..........thanks for this great song
Wow, it has been a long time since I've heard this, What a happy song! What happened - doesn't seem to be too many happy songs anymore. Thanks for sharing this!
I used to hitch hike everywhere in the late 60's and most of the 70's and pick up hitchhikers as well that is until I picked up a weirdo one day. He made me nervous. I had never been afraid of anyone before. I never hitch hiked or picked up anyone again.
for all of you wonderful people who posted such heartfelt replies to my post, I didn't mean to take the attention away from such a terrific song and the cherished memories each of you had of it. Regretfully, I selfishly did not keep in touch with the gentleman over the years and by the time I decided to search him out--he had retired to So. Carolina in the mid 80's, he had already passed away 8 years earlier.
But he made a lasting impression on me for 40 years and counting--a prince of a man!
this song makes me sad. I was hitchin' home from the army in VA during this time and was picked up in PA by a gentleman who not only insisted on buying me breakfast at a great diner outside of Harrisburg--he watched me eat while he had coffee, but also taking me within 10 miles of my Ohio home--225 miles from his original destination, I later found out his son was killed in Vietnam the year before and he had an affinity for servicemen.
Even my friend and I had to hitch a ride to get back to the Hither Hills camp site, after we spent hours hiking west down from the camp site looking for girls when we were 14 or 15! Back in those days, 1976 or 1977, it was still somewhat safe to hitch a ride! I love this great song from my childhood! Peace and Love to All! BobbyK
It's 1970 in California. My father pulls over to pick up a hitch hiker on our way up the 99 north. We stop at a fruit juice stand that for 25 cents is all the juice you can drink from a dixie cup. Pixley isn't that the town from Green Acres? Selma the raisin capitol of the world, Fresno no Walmarts, Targets, Panda express, just farmland and the smell of bovine. Clovis and the hitch hiker says " thanks for the ride man, peace". A two lane road takes us up towards Dinkey Creek. Ahh memories
thats the lead singer of shawadywaddy??? i was 41/2 when this came out so only remember it from replays over the years..but i wish i could go back to the 70s and 80s things went baaaaad in the 90`s and are getting worse..anyone got a time machine???
@ReneeEvans27 Surprisingly, I saw a few hitch hikers this summer, when I was on vacation on the Central Coast of California, by San Luis Obispo. Ha ha!
@gogomountain Maybe, but around here, I turn around and realize I haven't seen people with placards for a long time, especially at the PA Turnpike interchanges, the most likely places.
what year was this out..maybe 70?..i think i was probably 6 first time i heard this, my older sister had taken me to the beach with her boyfriend..what a great time..great memory, thanks for posting
Omg this was my favorite song when I was little, wow, haven't thought of this song in forever! Funny how they all wore matching outfits back then lol.
The 60s were great I was there I loved the music it was great you were able to live more of a free life then we would party for 3 straight days in a cow field we 3 or bands come in and play at different times all the pot food & booze you could eat and drink and smoke with no hassle from the police as long as we stayed cool. It was an-awesome time of my life today they have laws for every thing. I would like to turn the clocks back.
Damn. I remember hearing this at a the beach in the summer. Going to the beach was a unique enough experience, starting to notice the world and hearing his on the radio made quite an impression, especially the piano at 125. Great rising and falling note thing going on
I was 13 in Arica.. Chile!! Oh my God! What a memories of my teens! I feelings of peace and great moments playing with my friends at the park! Arica is a Beautiful city..
some of these 1-hit wonder bands actually had decent lead singers. something that i never realized before, scrolling through this era of a.m. radio heaven. i remember all of these songs, though, as a kid; maybe in the back of the station wagon with the metal wood grain paint job. "are we here yet, dad"? 'yeah, were here, but we're not there yet'.
Listened to this one almost everyday I had to hitch hike to the Golden Valley Country Club to work at the ripe old age of 12. Carried doubles frequently. Happy to earn the money for a pair of Adidas that my parents wouldn't buy because they were too expensive. No one told me what to do after that. I earned it.
@sherriffnoldie ...ahaha...I used to listen to Country Joe and the Fish...while reading Tolkein...I always thought the lead singer of this band was female....great vocal range....
mspunky -unfortunately, the vietnam war, like all our wars, save for the revolutionary war, the civil war, and ww II, had nothing to do with our "freedom", and everything to do with yet more unwordly, obscene profit for the ruling class. you can scream nooooooo till you're blue in the face; doesn't change facts.
Wow Jeff I can feel that mans pain...I lost a lot of friends in that dam war....but thank you for sharing that story....and thank you FOR MY FREEDOM JEFF!!!
A place in time that society forgot . . . .when music was cool, groovy & innocent and lyrics were clean and people were pure and unspoiled . . . unlike today ~ how they serve our kids a bunch of FILTH where lyrics of gang-sta rap & hip hop- are full of profanity, recording artists are horny sexual beings portrayed in videos & pop stars are admired for getting into hot water with the law - WHAT kind of CRAPis that ??? Just another example of the deterioration of the very fabric that holds us up.
This song in those muscle cars during that time ..... finding yourself going 100 mph in no time. The music in those cars was a burn rubber fun ass time..............Oh yeah Mach 1 1969 Mustangs and 1970 Super Bees...
I remember hitchiking back in the day and singing this song to keep our spirits up till we got a ride. Can you beleive there was actually a time in America when you felt free and safe enough to catch a ride with a total starnger? From the 50's to the mid 70's hitchiking was as natural as taking the bus. But sadly the Creeps ruined it for everyone. Peace.
when and where can i get on that bus ready to go right now miss those days so many songs lot of good times gone along with a lot good friends. remember those days when you get old god i hope that you .you can sit back and have something nice to think about while your wife and kids are all rising hell at you. used my thumb alot to get around in 60's and 70's lots of good bud .even the bad days back then are better then goods days now had a good life would be fun to do over
I'm right there with you "myfnjeans"...you can be first in line...I'll be second...lol
I used to hitchhike all the time back in the '60's...yes I was young...but I never traveled alone...always had my best friend at least...one time there was 5 of us...one would stand and throw out the thumb...the others would hide in the culvert/ditch till a ride would stop...no one ever took off...try that today and see what happens
Can someone please find a time machine to take me back to the 1960s and great music like this - because most of today's music, especially rap, is unadulterated nuclear waste.
@keaton1895 You are wrong. Numerically the first decade 01-10, second 11-20, then 21-30, etc. Read my statement. It did not place the 70s in the 60s decade, just the two years 1969 and 1970.
@keaton1895 You are wrong, I just explained it. How stupid can you be? It is simple math. 01-10, 11-20. Boy, are you ignorant. Please don't reply, I won't open emails from someone with a molecule brain.
I hitched a ride once, but can't remember when it was actually deemed a legit form of transport in this country which kinda sucks. Gotta go to Cuba for that.
Folks who haven't lived in the 60's and 70's have no conception of the thumb based transit system of the time. Hitchhiking was cool because you got a ride when you needed it and gave a ride when you could. It was an understanding that all decent people agreed on. Our current police state did away with that.
@tonemenolc I blame it a bit more on the mass murderers who used to have a field day on all those poor kids. Still, I agreed fully with everything else in your post. It's definitely another world out there now. Too bad, I think we all preferred our innocence.
this song makes me sad. I was hitchin' home from the army in VA during this time and was picked up in PA by a gentleman who not only insisted on buying me breakfast at a great diner outside of Harrisburg--he watched me eat while he had coffee, but also taking me within 10 miles of my Ohio home--225 miles from his original destination, I later found out his son was killed in Vietnam the year before and he had an affinity for servicemen.
@jeff65623 - Thank you for sharing this story. As a Psych major, I know there's different ways we humans react to tragedy. Instead of letting his bitterness take over, this man chose to pour his affection for his son onto another soldier, turning a negative into a positive. I hope he has, or will be rewarded for his decency, in some way. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Best Wishes to You.
I just read your comment. I'm in the California Army National Guard. Not the song, but your story made me a little thankful sad. Some people that DO support the military are amazing. I'm a veteran of Iraq 2008 and people have been very generous to me as well. I thank God for them every day. I hope you're enjoying time home in the USA fellow soldier. God bless.
Typical dumass editing of today. Fill the perfomance full of distracting sh*t that didn't happen back then because the production companies back then had respect for the performers/performance. S8hit!
@capie44 Oh? You don't think they had go-go dancers who were dancing off beat that the cameras zoomed to endlessly? Filmography wasn't perfect back then... Hell, I'd love to see the audience's faces. But whatever.
@JoeAuriun Oh. I wasn't talking about the habits back then, I was talking about all the stinkin' pop-ups during the show that could happen during the commercials. The industry has more respect for the commercials (no pop-ups) than the show--even the next show is advertised as a pop-up during the performance: "this week's special at Pizza world, the actors names and production crew, the next show,the tornado warnings! It is all rude since it doesn't happen on "sponsor" time.
my favorite song im using my sons acc this song lit up my life me and my girlfriends would hitch whever we wanted to go it was a blast thank u vanity fair
all that cock that could be sucked back in the 60's. I am first in line.

Hitchhiking was fun, did it a few times with a mate when I was a teenager.
That was 40 years ago, people too scared now maybe.

I hitched a ride once, but can't remember when it was actually deemed a legit form of transport in this country which kinda sucks. Gotta go to Cuba for that.

Folks who haven't lived in the 60's and 70's have no conception of the thumb based transit system of the time. Hitchhiking was cool because you got a ride when you needed it and gave a ride when you could. It was an understanding that all decent people agreed on. Our current police state did away with that.

@tonemenolc I blame it a bit more on the mass murderers who used to have a field day on all those poor kids. Still, I agreed fully with everything else in your post. It's definitely another world out there now. Too bad, I think we all preferred our innocence.

this song makes me sad. I was hitchin' home from the army in VA during this time and was picked up in PA by a gentleman who not only insisted on buying me breakfast at a great diner outside of Harrisburg--he watched me eat while he had coffee, but also taking me within 10 miles of my Ohio home--225 miles from his original destination, I later found out his son was killed in Vietnam the year before and he had an affinity for servicemen.

@jeff65623 - Thank you for sharing this story. As a Psych major, I know there's different ways we humans react to tragedy. Instead of letting his bitterness take over, this man chose to pour his affection for his son onto another soldier, turning a negative into a positive. I hope he has, or will be rewarded for his decency, in some way. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. Best Wishes to You.

I just read your comment. I'm in the California Army National Guard. Not the song, but your story made me a little thankful sad. Some people that DO support the military are amazing. I'm a veteran of Iraq 2008 and people have been very generous to me as well. I thank God for them every day. I hope you're enjoying time home in the USA fellow soldier. God bless.

Typical dumass editing of today. Fill the perfomance full of distracting sh*t that didn't happen back then because the production companies back then had respect for the performers/performance. S8hit!

JoeAuriun 9 months ago
@JoeAuriun Oh. I wasn't talking about the habits back then, I was talking about all the stinkin' pop-ups during the show that could happen during the commercials. The industry has more respect for the commercials (no pop-ups) than the show--even the next show is advertised as a pop-up during the performance: "this week's special at Pizza world, the actors names and production crew, the next show,the tornado warnings! It is all rude since it doesn't happen on "sponsor" time.
That's what I meant
