With music by Jick Nacassian and lyrics by Rony Sofu , the " Autostop " was Greece 's sixth entry in the Contest . It is an up-tempo number in praise of the tradition of hitch-hiking throughout Europe . Vissi suggests that it is the best way of seeing the world , and sings that one can even go as far as China . The song is also memorable for the frequent repetition of the title , with the word being sung 37 times . Also of note is the fact that Lia Vissi , Vissi 's older sister , made an appearance as one of the backing singers , having done the same one year before . Both sisters would go on ( at the 1982 Contest in Anna 's case and the 1985 Contest in Lia 's ) to represent their country of birth , Cyprus
