Mention the words Route 66 and many people think 'Johnny B-Goode', Rock and Roll, guitar bands etc. Well, think again. Our version is written as a bouncy, but not fast, swing-shuffle that has a laid-back yet driving feel to it. We've included solo space for Tenor, Trumpet and Baritone, all backed by brass riffs that build as the solos progress. Fun and straightforward to play and good to dance to. The vocal range is Bb below middle C to D one octave above middle C. Vocal key is Eb to F.
Lyrics:
(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66 Songtext:
If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best.
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six!
It winds from Chicago to L.A.
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six!
Now it goes through Saint Looey,
Joplin, Missouri;
Oklahoma City looks mighty pretty.
You'll see Amarillo;
Gallup, New Mexico;
Flagstaff, Arizona;
(Don't forget Winona).
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip,
When you make that California trip?
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six!
Get your kicks on Route Sixty-Six!

One can see all your musicians were enoying it and better yet, feeling it! That includes your singer - she has great stage presence and her voice sounded perfect! You made me like this old song again! In other words, "DAYUM!" You nailed it! Danke vielmals!
Ich habe es auch genossen! That song makes me want to make a road trip 'cross the USA!
