RN7 versus R 66 (???)

[Jean Pierre]

a bit of fun on two mythical roads: Route Nationale 7 in France, sung by Charles Trenet, and Route 66 in the USA, sung by Nat King Cole.

Understand who can


a hint... the lyrics HERE

De toutes les routes de France d'Europe
Celle que j'préfère est celle qui conduit
En auto ou en auto-stop
Vers les rivages du Midi
Nationale 7
Il faut la prendre qu'on aille à Rome à Sète
Que l'on soit deux trois quatre cinq six ou sept
C'est une route qui fait recette
Route des vacances
Qui traverse la Bourgogne et la Provence
Qui fait d' Paris un p'tit faubourg d'Valence
Et la banlieue d'Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Le ciel d'été
Remplit nos cœurs d'sa lucidité
Chasse les aigreurs et les acidités
Qui font l'malheur des grand's cités
Toutes excitées.
On chante, on fête
Les oliviers sont bleus ma p'tit' Lisette
L'amour joyeux est là qui fait risette
On est heureux Nationale 7.

f you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
It winds from chicago to la,
More than two thousand miles all the way.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
Now you go through saint looey
Joplin, missouri,
And oklahoma city is mighty pretty.
You see amarillo,
Gallup, new mexico,
Flagstaff, arizona.
Don't forget winona,
Kingman, barstow, san bernandino.
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that california trip
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.
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.
Get your kicks on route sixty-six.

The fun is in your enthousiasm verry nice to listen to.
Nice uptempo instrumental play too.

Merci Corné,  mise à jour avec la vidéo

I found it amusing to juxtapose two great songs, two great composers (Charles Trenet and Nat King Cole) and two mythical routes.
Route Nationale 7, which crosses France from north to south, and Route 66, which crosses the USA from east to west.)

j'ai trouvé amusant de juxtaposer , deux chansons,deux compositeurs (Charles Trenet et Nat King Cole) et deux routes mythiques
la Route nationale 7 qui traverse la France du Nord au Sud et la Route 66 qui traverse les USA de l'Est à l'Ouest
