"I Wanna Be A Hippy" is a song by English electronic group Technohead. It was released in March 1995 as the lead single from their album, Headsex. Vocals are taken from David Peel's song "I like Marijuana".
The music video, which uses the Flamman & Abraxas mix, sees three identical gabbers wearing Mokum Records shirts chase after a hippy on a bike through Amsterdam with inflatable hammers. The hippy eventually escapes by walking into a funhouse mirror and disappearing.
In February 1996, Technohead performed the song live on Top of the Pops, although the performance had the references to marijuana censored. [1]
