Wikipedia article"'No Particular Place to Go'" is a song by Chuck Berry, released as a single by Chess Records in May 1964 and released on the album 'St. Louis to Liverpool' in November 1964 (see 1964 in music). "No Particular Place to Go" was recorded on March 25, 1964 in Chicago, Illinois and features the same music as Berry's earlier hit "School Days". LyricsThe song is a comical four verse story. In the first verse, the narrator is riding in his car as his girlfriend drives, and they kiss. In the second, they start to cuddle, and drive slow. In the third, they decide to park and take a walk, but are unable to release the seat belt. In the last verse, they drive home, defeated by said recalcitrant seat belt. RecordingThe session(s) during which "No Particular Place to Go" was recorded were produced by Leonard and Phil Chess, and backing Berry were pianist Paul Williams, drummer Odie Payne, and bassist Louis Satterfield. ChartsCover versionsA 1994 performance by George Thorogood & the Destroyers is captured on their live album 'Live: Let's Work Together'.
