Depeche Mode Route 66
Music For The Masses Sire Records 1987
Bobby Troup got the idea for the song on a cross-country drive fromÿPennsylvaniaÿtoÿCalifornia. Troup wanted to try his hand as aÿHollywoodÿsongwriter, so he and his wife, Cynthia, packed up their 1941 Buick and headed west. The trip began onÿUSÿ40ÿand continued alongÿUSÿ66ÿto the California coast. Troup initially considered writing a tune about USÿ40, but Cynthia suggested the title "Get Your Kicks on Route 66". The song was composed on the ten-day journey, and completed by referring to maps when the couple arrived in Los Angeles
