"Hitch Hike" is a 1962 song by Marvin Gaye, released on the Tamla label.
Another song Gaye co-wrote (this time with Clarence Paul and William "Mickey" Stevenson).
[1] This time instead of confessing to being stubborn, the singer is now hitchhiking on the look out for his girl, who he feels has run so far that he has to travel "around the world" thinking of places she could have found herself at including St. Louis, "Chicago City Limits" and "L.A."[2] The song sparked a brief dance craze when audience members from American Bandstand performed the "hitch hike" dance.
Marvin performed the song on the show and also did the move onstage.
"[3] Like "Stubborn", Martha and the Vandellas accompanied Gaye on this song.
