Vanity Fare - Hitchin' a Ride (1970)

Graduated in 1973. Loved the sixties and seventies music. Mom and dad never knew, at least they didn't let on. I used to now and then hitch rides to high school. Sure wouldn't do it in these years. So carefree back then

I remember that song in 1980's hearing and was so cool

Big Hit In The U.S. In The Summer Of 1970 :) Those Were The Best Summers ! If I Could Turn The Clock Back , I Would Do It In A Second !!

Yep In the day

Always loved this song. I was a teen when it came out. So many great one-single bands and songs!

Just like now only a small percentage of music was worth listening to.

(Song) Released on November 7th, 1969 (UK)
March, 1970 (US)

Late 60s to mid 70s young America was on the road, on the move. Great experiences; even the slow waits were part of it. Met some nice people . Good times.

Thought the singer was Janet Street Porter😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Beautiful days

I salute you, Charles Hooper, sir!

Fender VI bass, on the left.

I was 14. Great time being a teenager😊❤

THE BIG 8 CKLW MOTOR CITY/WINDSOR

One of my mother's favorite.

I was born in 1916 and I wish I could go back to this today sucks

what a time to be in

The harmonies, the harmonies, the harmonies…

Hitchin rides was so common back then. I picked up many hitch hikers. My mom picked up a woman one evening and the next morning the cops knocked on our door. Apparently the woman had robbed the hotel, that made my mom the get-away driver.

I’m 13 years old again listening to this tune on a transistor radio In Medford Mass. Those were the days. 😢

I used to sing this kid playing baseball. But I changed the words. A thumb goes up, he’s giving a sign. You pitch e outside an I’ll give you a ride. Give you a ride, give you a ride, while I trot on home after my big fly. Lol, lol. Man I am getting old.

I. grew up listening to that music

I was 11 yrs old when that song came out,,it was a big hit too..good Ole music..❤❤❤ I think that had another hit called "Early in the morning".. good song too..😂😂😂

we need a “Magic Carpet” to go back to our “growing up”period!🇺🇸🦅😎

this song sucked back then and it still sucks

Best music 1960s and 1970s

I wasn’t a fan of Vanity Fair back then (1970-ish), but they played a local venue in Scotland, and since there was nothing much else on, I went along to see them. It was a dance rather than a concert. They were brilliant. Very tight, great harmonies, worked the audience well, and we all had a great time. Also not too loud. I liked them a lot more after that.

than the finger goes up

Hitch a ride good old days

Was my first 45 record back in the day ,,,,still play it

I heard this at the skake inn at Marysville. 1972.

Groovy man ,

The 1st time I heard this i was in Highschool riding home on the school bus ...great memories !!!!!

That drummer seems to be having trouble with the hi-hat cymbals.
They look like they are ready to fall over

Groovy baby, Groovy!😊😉

I'm 62, and I love this song and so many others in the 70s

Most WWII Veterans had to once returned "home".

What a Band,Song, Video all to perfection those lyrics.I have this on a couple of 70s CD Comps.

Hey Dude, I was born in '56. I know where you are coming from. I just finished listening to "Clap for the Wolfman" & 'Ride Captain Ride." We can't go back in time but we can still relive those great times every time we hear one of our songs from those times. No one will ever be able to take those memories away from us. 😂

I love the 60 , 70 music

Oh I loved this song growing up that time in my early teens hitching all over to see my friends. Good memory! Ed

Throwback 🎶 Music oldies ❤👍😄

Iconic 1970s better days 😊

I was 9 yrs old living in Benson Vermont me and my brother hitched all over town more cows then people we loved this song what a life

Mitch Murray and Peter Callander also wrote BIlly Don't be a Hero and The Night Chicago Died , amongst others.

Great Music, Killer Parties, Fast Cars. Good Friends, Long hair, Beautiful Honeys, Yeah Baby, we lived Large in those days!

Omg. One of my first 45's. Never really listened to the words. I'm 67 and just now realized it was a thimb goes up. I always sang the sun goes up. Bahaha
