"I'm in Touch with Your World" is a song written by Ric Ocasek and recorded by the American rock band the Cars, from their debut studio album, The Cars (1978).

"I'm in Touch with Your World" features many bizarre sound effects played by Greg Hawkes. Hawkes said, "That was always one of my favorite ones to play live."[1] He continued, "Plus, I figured it'd be fun for people to watch visually."[1] The line "everything is science fiction" was the result of Hawkes mishearing Ocasek's original lyric, "everything you say is fiction"; hence the spacey sound effect after the line. Ocasek changed it to accommodate this. (Liner notes for The Cars Deluxe Edition, Rhino, 1999)

Aside from being released on The Cars, the song appeared as the B-side to the band's debut single, "Just What I Needed".
