THROWBACK THURSDAY: A Great Song About a Great American Road

Venerable old Route 66 undoubtedly inspired more music than any other ribbon of asphalt built in the last century.

Although there have been several songs written about that highway, most of these have been overshadowed by the mother song of the Mother Road, Bobby Troups' ``Get Your Kicks On Route 66.''

Troup, a jazz musician married to the late singer Julie London, wrote the song in 1946, traveling down the road on a trip west. Much of the lyrics are a simple recital of towns along the highway.

`It winds from Chicago to L.A., 
More than 2,000 miles all the way, 
Get your kicks on Route 66. 

Now you go through St. Louie, Joplin, Missouri 
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty. 
You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, 
Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona, 
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino.'' 

Here's a version by the songwriter



Nat ``King'' Cole had a hit with it in 1946 ...

  

But he was hardly the last to record it.

Route 66 historian David Kammer, who lives in Albuquerque said in 2001 that he was aware of more than 120 different versions of the song.

There are jazz, country, punk-rock, goth-rock, zydeco and raw schmaltz versions.

Here are some of those, starting with The Stones



Wayne Hancock takes it to the country



The late Buckwheat Zydeco did it



British synth-rock group Depeche Mode recorded a version.



The Cramps kindly kept it sleazy.



Here's a take by a Japanese blues band



And then there's this by Tom Trusnovic & Monkeyshines

WACKY WEDNESDAY: Great Moments in Rock 'n' Roll Oratory

Allow me to get a little self-indulgent on this Wacky Wednesday.

I have to give a speech in Albuquerque today. I won an award from the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government. It's the first time in awhile that I've had to give an actual speech, so I thought I'd study some classic oratory from the world of rock 'n' roll.

The first example that came to mind was the short but strange speech by Bob Dylan when he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1991 Grammy Awards. Jack Nicholson introduced him.



Then there was Mike Love's inspirational words when The Beach Boys were inducted into The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1988. After talking about the beauty of harmony, he rips into Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Diana Ross and Bruce Springsteen. Love later explained that he hadn't meditated that morning (His section starts at the 3:50 mark.)



I actually do admire the following speech by Frank Zappa. It wasn't an awards show -- it was a Congressional hearing on the dangers of dirty lyrics in rock songs. Frank stood up for liberty and against the "sinister kind of toilet training program" being advocated by Tipper Gore and her minions.



(If you want to see the rest of Zappa's testimony -- with questions from hostile senators -- Part 2 can be found HERE , Part 3 HERE and Part 4 HERE)
