Wir fahr'n auf der Autobahn

[thedelihaus]

We are driving on the Autobahn
In front of us is a wide valley
The sun is shining with glittering rays
The driving strip is a grey track
White stripes, green edge
We are switching the radio on
From the speaker it sounds:
We are driving on the Autobahn...

(Translated from-)

Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn
Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl
Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band
Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand
Jetzt schalten wir das Radio an
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann:
Wir fahr'n auf der Autobahn...

 

[Jailtime]

Kraftwerk. Did I get the band right? Do I get a prize?

 

[Sandy G]

Kraftwerk, early spring 1975. Album had a pic of a Karl Wilfert "finned" Mercedes & a VW Beetle on the cover.

 

[thedelihaus]

Both of you get stars! Lovely rekkid, you agree?

 

[Sandy G]

Huh ?!?

 

[thedelihaus]

Jailtime asked if he got a prize, inca sandy. Both you and he get stars for knowing the song.

Hope the bed is getting nicer for you sandy. I've had good lick with a 2.5" "tempurpedic" space-foam bed layer. Much cheaper than buying a full mattress made of it and let's you try it out to we if you like it before a major investment. Seen them on sale as cheap as $79 at times.

 

[Sandy G]

Oh, I think I'm "comin' around" on the bed, Deli. But you guys know me- I'd bitch if they hung me w/a new rope...(grin)

Y'all need to hear the 'cumbia merenge' cover version by Señor Coconut y Su Conjunto (a pseudonym of German producer Uwe Schmidt). He did a whole album of Kraftwerk covers named El Baile Alemán that's lots of fun.

In the Señor Coconut version, the car fails to start at the beginning.
