John Mayer - Route 66 (Extended Version)

John Mayer's cover of "Route 66" from the Cars soundtrack.

The origin of the extended version is unknown. I downloaded this track from Grooveshark a couple of months ago. If anyone knows any history behind this track, please do share.

“LOOK AT THIS ITS MY HOOD ITS MY HOOD!!! I AIN’T SEEN THIS THING IN 20 YEARS!”

[generalshepherd]

The fact that this isn’t on Spotify or Apple Music is a crime. Easily a top 3 song from this already amazing soundtrack

[SOrry-ehfu]

I did it. From Chicago, Ill. to Santa  Monica, Ca. in a mustang convertible, big block, built in 66.
Good experience. Thank´s to all the good Americans on our trip.
Best greetings from the very west of Germany .

Sally: "So, Stickers, last one to Flo's buys?"
McQueen: "I don't know... Why don't we just take a drive?"
Sally: "...Nah!" (speeds off)
McQueen: "Yeah! (revs motor) KA-CHOW!" (takes off after her)

They should've left Cars as a single movie, a truly underrated piece of master piece. Song just brings back so many memories, this is the movie where you sit there and actually watch the whole credits

[ryanstreuli]

15 years later and I never left. This movie really impacted my life

[sonicthespider]

3:07 YOU ARE A TOYYYY
you are a sad strange little wagon

[hydro]

This was my favourite movie as a kid, I watched it today without knowing it was Mayer doing this and it’s insane to me that he is my favourite guitarist, life really is a loop huh?

[lexusblacklist]

we should rebuild route 66 like if you agree

[vane]

A Chuck Berry classic but I really love John's version

[andreapatane]

This song is so bouncy that I never get tired of listening to it 24/7. I had a crush on John Mayer when I was a teenager. Those were the days.

[t-rkplayzgames]

I remember this from the end credits
McQueen-Ho Woo!
Doc-Yeah!
McQueen-WooHoo!
Doc-Well you sure ain't no dirtboy!
McQueen-Not today old man! I know all of your tricks!
Doc-EEEEH YEAH! (Drifts)
McQueen-(Stops) Doc!? Doc!?
Doc- WOOHAA! (Jumps over) Not All my tricks Rookie!
Lol

Route 66 - Lyrics:

If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks on Route 66

It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route 66

Now you go through Saint Louis
Joplin, Missouri
And 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 66

Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66
Get your kicks on Route 66

[JohnAlesi]

I dig the feel of this version - with the same groove as Led Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll”

[tomasbromas]

I rewatched Cars yesterday after probably more than 10 years and damn, I was left speechless. I remembered it as a funny movie with cars driving around but now, watching it as an adult I think it's truly a masterpiece. Nostalgia has a lot to do with it, sure, but honestly it made me laugh as well as cry a few times. Incredible movie, best of the best when it comes to animated motion pictures. I AM SPEED!

[madden]

When I saw this movie as a Kid didnt even knew who tf was John Mayer, I rewatched again now with 17 years old and dang, I lost my shit when that voice started sounding on credits. I definitely knew it was John! :D

[unbreakable_]

3:10 i remember when Toy Story, Monster Inc, A Bugs Life Translated to Cars Version :v

[febcortes]

That extended blues solo section is just CLASSIC.

[edgarbanuelos]

*The time has come. Execute Route 66.*
Will do, my Lord.
*<Revs up landspeedeer with a flame paint job and flame exhausts.>*

Quarantine and nostalgia is bringing us all back here!
