The tune was the lead single from the group’s fifth album, “Nimrod”, which included the US Top 5 hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" and peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200.
Four months after releasing the project, Green Day were on hand to deliver “Hitchin’ A Ride” and three other songs from set – “Nice Guys Finish Last”, “Prosthetic Head” and “Redundant” – during a February 1998 appearance at the UK broadcast outlet.
Due December 10, “BBC Sessions” presents 16-tracks from four of the band's appearances at the BBC's legendary Maida Vale Studios from 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2001.
