| abstract
| - %22Hitch Hike%22 is a 1962 song by Marvin Gaye, released on the Tamla label. Another song Gaye co-wrote (this time with Clarence Paul and William %22Mickey%22 Stevenson), this time instead of confessing to being stubborn, the singer is now hitchhiking on the look out for his girl, whom he feels has run so far that he has to travel %22around the world%22 thinking of places she could have found herself at including St. Louis, %22Chicago City Limits%22 and %22L.A.%22The song sparked a brief dance craze when audience members from American Bandstand performed the %22hitch hike%22 dance. Marvin performed the song on the show and also did the move onstage. The dance was also performed during Marvin's performance of the song in the T.A.M.I. Show. The single was successful enough to land Gaye his first top forty pop single in 1963 with %22Hitch Hike%22 reaching number thirty on the pop singles chart while reaching number twelve on the R&B singles chart. Again, like %22Stubborn%22, Martha and the Vandellas accompanied Gaye on this song. Artists including The Sonics, The Rolling Stones, The Mothers of Invention and Alice Cooper covered this song during their early years.The Velvet Underground's song %22There She Goes Again%22 is based on %22Hitch Hike%22, as is the guitar intro to The Smiths' %22There is a Light That Never Goes Out%22 (Johnny Marr specifically credits The Rolling Stones' cover as the inspiration).Paul McCartney performed a live cover of the song during his 2011 performance at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan. Another song which is likely based on %22Hitch-Hike%22, is %22You Can't Do That%22 by The Beatles, especially the use of cowbell and congas and the pronounced stops at the end of each verse.
