Hitchin' A Ride


Bastard of 1967

Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey gang - does anyone know offhand what Mike's backing vocal is during the very end/outro of Hitchin' A Ride? I think it's "Don't know where you are" but I'd love a second, third, or even fourth read on it. Then, at the close of the song, Billie Joe sings something unintelligible like "wuh wub wuh wub wub wub" -- anybody here every figure THAT one out?

Thanks!

I always thought Mike sang "don't know where to go"

About what Billie sings, I've heard 2 versions: he sings "2,1,2 ,1,2" (or "2,3,4,1,2") or nothing really, just gibberish.

Mike says "Don't know where I'm going", Billie just says random sounds. :)

Posted

I thought Billie said one way or wrong way or something. :ermm:

Posted

Mikey sings 'Dont know where I'm going' and Billie says "2-1-2-1-3" or smth like that

EDIT: Eirik was faster :P

Thanks for the quick replies everyone!

I looked on the internet, and people think its "take one for the road trip!"

It actually sounds like it

Posted

Mike says "Don't know where to go", or at least that's what it sounds like and Billie is just rattling off numbers and random babble.

I'm pretty sure Billie once said that the ending is just random gibberish.

No worries dude :) It's an old thread, so I'm leaving this one open to keep things fresh.

I always thought it was Billie mumbling numbers and stuff.

Mike says "Don't know where I'm going" and Billie says 2,3,4,?,1,2 I'm not sure what is after 4 though.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the Billie stuff is just nonsense. I remember an interview where he was asked what he said at the end of Reject and he said it was nothing, just random sounds. I reckon it's the same with Hitchin' A Ride.

I always thought Mike was repeating "Don't go hitchin'" in the background. In fact I'd never even thought it could be anything else for a second :lol:

I think Andres was correct in the original thread with "Going nowhere boy" or maybe it's "Go nowhere boy."

Also, Billie has definitely said it's gibberish, and I happened to notice - I'm pretty sure it was at Vancouver but maybe Seattle (I can tell if I watch the vids, because I remember where he was standing when I noticed) - that it was clearly gibberish. I watched his lips, and he also made a face that made it clear it was nothing with any meaning.

I started to believe that it's "Don't know where I'm going"

Posted

Yeah I always thought it was "Don't know where I'm going"

And I always thought Billie said "Say one say one three"

Yeah, same here.

I definitely believe Mike says "Don't know where..."

Then, Billie says something along the lines 1,2,1,3 and a bunch for gibberish.

I don't know, something like that. :lol:

Yeah I always thought it was "Don't know where I'm going"

And I always thought Billie said "Say one say one three"

That's possible, he could have said "Say one say one, two and three."

I think they might've said that it was... cause i'm not the type of person to decipher what's being said. :P

2, 4, 3, 4, 3 (in that order!!) is what I hear.

Posted

As stated above, Mike sings "Don't know where I'm goin"

Posted

I always thought Mike said "No, no, no".
