The song "Hit the Road Jack" by Acid Drinkers is a cover of the classic song originally performed by Ray Charles. The lyrics tell the story of a man who is being told by his woman to hit the road and never come back. The repeated refrain, "Hit the road Jack and don't you come back no more" emphasizes her desire for him to leave and not return. The man pleads with her not to treat him so mean but in the end, he resigns himself to pack his things and leave.
The lyrics play into the common theme of love and heartbreak. The man is clearly hurt by the woman's desire for him to leave, but he tries to convince her that he will be back on his feet someday. The woman, on the other hand, remains steadfast in her decision to end the relationship.
The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus have made it a classic that continues to be covered by artists across genres. While Acid Drinkers put their own spin on the song, they kept the catchy refrain that made the original so popular.

Muszę przyznać, że ACID Drunkers mają tak dobre brzmienie, że ja sama bliska byłam myślenia, że są oni z Ameryki lub Anglii. Uwielbiam ich :)

Lepszej reklamy Balantańca nie widziałem (w pozytywnym znaczeniu) . Aranżacja utworu i Teledysk. Wymiatają.

Jestem dumny, że w końcu POLACY nakręcili teledysk godny uwagi, zaczynający się i kończący jak dobry zagraniczny film :)
Marta Hntowska
Moim zdaniem ta cała płyta to musiała być wielka frajda i zabawa, a "teledysk" mnie pozytywnie zaskoczył i tylko to co mogę rzec to wielki szacun dla chłopaków, że odważyli się na tajie coś:):):):):):):)

Acidzi mają talent aktorski, gdyby nie byli świetnymi muzykami mogliby pomyśleć o pójściu w tym kierunku ;d Bardzo dobry teledysk!

W latach 70-tych szaleliśmy na dyskotekach przy tej piosence, którą wykonywał wtedy legendarny Ray Charles.
