Hit the Road to Dreamland

Hit the Road to Dreamland

"Hit the Road to Dreamland" is a popular song. The music was written by Harold Arlen, the lyrics by Johnny Mercer.

The song was introduced in 1943 in the wartime musical film "Star Spangled Rhythm". It was the rhythmic highlight of the film, set in the dinning car of a train with the clickity-clack of the train wheels pacing the song's rhythm. Arlen was a master of tricky jazz rhythms and Mercer's playful colloquial lyric phrases match the music exquisitely.Fact|date=August 2007
