[NO]«(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66», eller bare Route 66 som den heter, har vært en populær jazz- og blueslåt helt siden den ble skrevet I 1946 av amerikaneren Bobby Trump. Den ble første gang innspilt samme år av vokalisten og pianisten Nat King Cole, og er siden innspilt en rekke ganger blant annet av hans datter Natalie Cole, gitaristen Chuck Berry og etter den tid, av såpass ulike band som Rolling Stones og Depeche Mode.
Teksten på låten følger strekningen på en av verdens mest legendariske veistrekninger, Route 66 i USA. Denne strekker seg på tvers igjennom stor deler av landet, fra Chicago, Illinois til Los Angeles i California.
