"Autobahn" is a 1974 song by German electronic band Kraftwerk, released as the lead single from their studio album of the same name.

The song was composed by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider of the band, with Emil Schult collaborating on the lyrics.

Someone else told me that they [the misinterpreters] thought the way we speak in German "Fahren", which means driving, sounds like the English word "fun".

[4] The song also included acoustic elements such as a flute played by Florian Schneider and atmospheric guitars.

[5] For this song a Minimoog was used to play the bass line,[6] and an octave riff with added analogue echo.

It also included use of a vocoder to process some of the vocals and use of the motorik drum rhythm over the song's final section.
