The Routers were an American instrumental group in the early 1960s.

In fact, their recordings were made by session musicians rather than an actual group. The Routers first release in September 1962 was "Let's Go (Pony)", which reached # 19 on the Billboard charts. Its infectious “clap clap clap-clap-clap clap-clap-clap-clap Let's Go! " chant became a favorite of cheerleaders and crowds worldwide. The recording was instigated by record producer Joe Saraceno and his songwriting partner Mike Gordon. Like many pop instrumentals recorded in Los Angeles, California at this time, such as those by B. Bumble and the Stingers, it involved Rene Hall (guitar), Plas Johnson (saxophone) and Earl Palmer (drums), probably with Plas’ brother Ray Johnson on bass guitar.

Later Routers recordings, which continued to be issued up to 1964 but with less commercial success, involved Tommy Tedesco (guitar), Leon Russell (piano) and Hal Blaine (drums). The same group also recorded over the same period as The Marketts. Various studio and touring versions of the band may also have included Pat and Lolly Vegas (later of Redbone), and Scott Engel (later of The Walker Brothers).
