Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn

Now that's an earworm that I'm happy to have for the next 22 minutes!

Though we could follow that up with "Ja, das Hokey Kokey".

That is exactly what goes through my head every time someone mentions Kraftwerk.

I never thought you'd be pro-highway Tom Beard! :)

So, I'll take the Trans Europe Express instead. And I'm definitely pro-Pocket Calculator.

We are driving on the autobahn...

Who did the translation?

Who did the translation?

It comes from this unimpeachable authority.

Do, all of you who are fluent in German, feel free to have at it and its deficiencies. I have already stuffed a couple of exercise books down the back of my trousers in anticipation of Mr Temple's verdict.

ZZZZZZOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM

Tooling down the highway doing 79

I'm a twin pipe papa and I'm feelin' fine

Hey man, dig that was that a red stop sign-

Transfusion, transfusion

"I'm out exploring the modern world,
By the pine trees and the Howard Johnsons,
On Route 128 when it's late at night,
We're heading from the north shore to the south shore,
Well I see Route 3 in my sight and
I'm the Roadrunner".

For anyone who is baffled:

Waay back, but what the,,,,, can't sleep anyway so.....

Time, all the long red lines, that take
Control, of all th smoke-like streams that flow into your
Dreams, that big blue open sea, that can't be
Crossed, that can't be climbed, just born
Between, oh?

It sort of reads like a Sam Hunt poem (but I see, googling it, that its not)

Yes, it does, and no, it's not. Quite melancholic. And it was the "telephones for eyes" line that stuck, but the whole song is a feature of my brain.....holes dug by...there it is again:)

If there's anyone who likes late-70's/early-80's Tangerine Dream as much as I do, check out SkinMechanix on Magnatune: http://www.magnatune.com/artists/skin_mechanix

Birth of hip hop, and I hadn't realised at all. Spine tingling.

I'll also admit to?

Autobahn is a great song and album. The three before that, Kraftwerk, Kraftwerk 2__ and Ralf And Florian are superb, very under-rated. There's also a lot more experimental stuff going on.

The drummer?

BTW for a superb live performance DVD,?

It's like you called them, David. Mysterious gods from other worlds drawn by your electronic emissions.

or else you knew they coming awhile back.

Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn

Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal

Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl

Short, shameful confession: my first thought was this was going to turn out to be a German translation of How Bizarre.

a German translation of How Bizarre

Wonder if Mr Grigg knows one?
