I did not know he put an album out. From a 89 perspective, maybe it is dated, but I like this song!
Not sure if you’re kidding, but this is a cover of Kraftwerk, namely this track.
Moranis released two more albums in 2005 and 2013, during his long hiatus in acting.
I did not know that, thanks! I’m not especially familiar with Kraftwerk but this song sounds more like 70s era which I guess would include them. I will look into these other Moranis albums.
‘Autobahn’ is from Kraftwerk’s 1974 album with the same name. Basically, Moranis messed with that track by turning the drawn-out hypnotic opus into a radio-format bombastic tune. (Though Kraftwerk are pretty pop-friendly themselves.)
I haven’t listened through his other songs, but it seems that all three albums are comedic in nature.
I should probably check out Kraftwerk, also. I know I ran across them years ago when I learned about Joy Division as a predecessor to New Order, but only remember a song that (I think) was called Radioactivity.
They have a peculiar sense of humor (the linked song is called ‘Pocket Calculator’ in the English-language release). The ‘Radioactivity’ track originally referred simultaneously to nuclear decay and radio waves — though iirc a later version increased the emphasis on nuclear incidents.

The Rick Moranis? As in the guy who played the dad in Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Lord Helmet in Spaceballs?
Yeah. He’s made three albums, two of them after retiring from acting. It seems that all three are comedic.
