"I Wanna Be a Hippy" is a song by English electronic group Technohead. The vocals were taken from David Peel's song "I Like Marijuana", which he sung in the movie Rude Awakening. It was first released in early 1995 on the Dutch hardcore techno label Mokum Records as the B side of the Mary Jane EP. John Peel featured the track "Mary Jane" on his show on 10 February 1995, which helped give the release recognition. In January and February 1996, Technohead performed the song live on Top of the Pops twice, although both performances had the references to marijuana censored.
