I copied this from my original post: I took this to my French class in 1988 and the class went insane. The class rooms along the entire hall literally left the rooms to see what was going on. Then,... the teacher came out and did this Float and moonwalk that was so perfect the students cheered soooo loud it caused the principal, vice principal, coaches and security to come and see why 5 class rooms gathered at once. I FELT EPIC... I was the kid who "did that thing in class". I lived that Legendary life for awhile. ..

At 51 now i fondly remember playing this and Herbie Hankok's Rocket on replay learning my robot and Bodypoping craft. This taught me to break the moves within moves and be intricate. I can feel the ticking now as i listen. The best times.
The days when all you needed to have some fun was a ghetto blaster, a mix tape including the tunes you mentioned, some friends, and a large piece of linoleum.
I was in high school when I had my first exposure to this (in the US) when it was sampled by Egyptian Lover within a year of this release. It took me until the 90s to realize most of the club music we were listening to was based off one Kraftwerk's music. They were definitely trailblazers in the industry and truly changed the landscape of music even today! No small feat!!

I heard an interview with Wolfgang Flur where he said their studio process was to try & use as little in the way of effects on the main synths sounds as possible. They had problems with mixing desks not handling amped up pure signals from the synths without attenuation. They developed their own mixing & amplification at shows to try & get the pure synth sound out through the PA.
@ Adrianworld me too I also hadn't something with tour de France I always found it so annoying until I heard tour de France of Kraftwerk just amazing. They loved the tour de France and that's why they made a song of it. Kraftwerk is just genius. I'm from Belgium and I'm now living in Germany. In Belgium this song was played to introduce the tour de France on TV.
My favourite track when cycling. But it's easy to lose your tempo to try and match with the song's, and end up losing some leg. God bless Kraftwerk for keeping it short, they did a little too good of a job. Perfect for the last spurt though, when the sprinters start going nuts at the last 4-5k. Just missing the chain shifting sound in this version. That part feels fab.
COMO PARA LOS BRAZILEROS EL FUTBOL SON LOS ARTISTAS O ARGENTINO!!! COLOMBIA ES LA MAXIMA REPRESENTACION DE LOS MEJORES DEL MUNDO EN EL CICLISMOOOOOOO....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111
I'm listening to this in 2024 !! And I'm 61 !! What a tune !!
Hahahaha! Im 60! Born in 64 and listening to it in April of 2024
Born '65 reminds me being in Europe in 1984

incredible story, thanks for sharing!
That's a really cool story! As a fellow child of the 80s I salute you 👏
Cool teacher 😅
The name of that teacher? Barack Obama.
@@kapuseta try harder
It's those progressive beats that captivated all the breakers, including me aged 15
Hip hop embraced Kraftwerk from the early days. They were pioneers of music.
Lyrics:
The hell of Northern Paris - Roubaix
The Cote d'Azur and Saint Tropez
The Alps and the Pyrenees
Last stage Champs-Elysees
Galibier and Tourmalet
Dancing even on the top
Bicycling at high gear
Final sprint at the finish
Flat tire on the paving-stones
The bicycle is repaired quickly
The peloton is regrouped
Comrades and friendship

I see you're a man of culture as well.

Kraftwerk are pioneers of the electronic sound and it doesn't come more beautiful than this. As good today as ever. What a sound. Just stunning!

I saw Egyptian Lover last night in Costa Mesa, CA and he sampled this...amazing!!
Reminds me of Paul Hardcastle. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
But its all ahhhhhh, pedal and pushing along.
Absolutely brilliant still playing this track in the 2020s.
Me too ! 🇬🇧
2023!
Greatest band in homage to the greatest sporting event! RIP Florian. you did good.
A beautiful tune.
Feels like I am taking flight.
Very futuristic even now in 2020.
@ Simon P I completely agree.
Stage 1 - TdF 2024....1st piece of music we go to in this household ❤️❤️❤️. DSM and Romain Bardet - congratulations!!
I haven't heard this since I was a kid but I've always remembered that beautiful tune! Kraftwerk, the original Daft Punk! 😎
The best song ever, the best band ever ,the best video ever.
Still sounds as beautiful as it does when I first heard it... Pure Brilliance 🌻🧡🎶
wonderful. Florian Schneider Requiescat in pace, such great music, so glad we had the blessing of listening to your music.
That complexity on the percussion is just chefs kiss
RIP Florian 😥. Forever electronic music's great pioneers x
I never heard this version. The stereo effect is fantistic!!
Classic Kraftwerk 🎶
me recuerda esos años .... maravillosos de los 80 con los COLOMBIANOS..!!!!

The best electronic group of all time. I think of the movie ' Breakin' when I hear this !
No Joke: Ralf Hütter Actually Sat On A Bicycle To Record Breathing Sounds For The Song.
My dad loves the Tour de France every summer on ITV4 my dad watches the Tour de France. My dad loves this song as well.
Being passionate about your work is being Kraftwerk.
We all body popped to this track back in the day. Awesome music and awesome times
One of the greatest songs ever written by a great band. Bands these days only seem to write songs about themselves. Takes me back to real innovation.👍
just love it!!! To me one of their top 10 songs!!!
Why does time fly by so fast . I was 6 years old jammin to this song.. now im 46.. Dayummmm...
And, it only goes faster as we age...45 here, and every day I wonder what happened haha.

Wiktor Johnsson The one on Spotify is the 2003 version. They re-did the single for the album. I’m with you though, I prefer this version.
I heard an interview with Wolfgang Flur where he said their studio process was to try & use as little in the way of effects on the main synths sounds as possible. They had problems with mixing desks not handling amped up pure signals from the synths without attenuation. They developed their own mixing & amplification at shows to try & get the pure synth sound out through the PA.
I like both, the 2003 has that 2003 sound and this version has that 80s vinyl texture
Who can dislike this video?
Great tune
This video makes me want to cycle without a helmet
So basically what Dutch people do lol
i wanna ride my bike without my bike
Up the steepest hill, you can find.
This makes me want to dunk my head in my toilet and flush.
You helmet.
Breakin , Turbo dancing with broomstick
Just follow the Tour De France 2018 on Tv and I love to watch it, listen to this song and watch this early TDF video clip.
In the eighties, it sounded bizarre, today it sounds nostalgic...
it sounds bizarre in 21' century too.
Kraftwerk the most important group in musical history.👍
ITV4 Brought here again this year - Tour de France rocks !
Great video such nostalgia and atmosphere to this well done to whoever is responsible.
Le sport dur. Magnifique !
Every year in the week leading up to next Edition, I play TDF Soundtracks while driving to / from work gets me in the mood
the song makes me want to get on my bike and ... learn French
Great & pioneering music; images from an age of joy and innocence.
I love Hindemith's flute sonata and someone told me that Kraftwerk's Tour de France too. Oh my gosh!
The Godfathers of electronic music.
I think they were way ahead of their time
Esos eran los Tour, los Giro, la vuelta!!! Adoquines, bordillos, baches y tierra!!!
Thank you for your contribution to hip hop . Awesome German brothers
I had absolutely nothing with Tour de France, but that changed due to listening to Kraftwerk
Indeed pure magic! Even this commercial and competitive sportsevent they can turn into a story of travel, friendship, heartbeat and melody.

Congrats to the lads on their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction
Big tune, love it in breaking, the film, turbo with the broom stick
I recalling in school people break dancing to this..
Really sad about Florian's death. Spending this afternoon (re)aquainting myself with some of their tracks.
Legends, all of them, respect
Eduardo Flores un gusto haber compartido mis experiencias vale 👊
Very Fim cliclyss in the and the music Kraftwerk cool cool😀👍🏻
Part of the world of new wave absolutely brilliant!
🎶Love that Kraftwerk
saw this last night in london, they put on a 3D experience on stage with the video playing. incredible stuff
I remember this song so well from my college days. I did a lot of dancing to this song!!!!
Hermoso tema es gloria y bellos recuerdos de los 80:
This is smooth!
This awesome song & video makes me want to dust off & ride my old 10 speed down a steep curvy San Francisco hill!!!!!!
Loved this when it came out
In the 80s when a group of breakdancers laid down their lino this was far and away the coolest track
The first 14 sec are more memorable for me . A lot of DJs at the dance clubs would use it as an intro.
All time favourite.
Such great music!
Turbo dancing in Breakin' 😂😂
Top tune!🙂 Featured on the movie 'Breakdance'!🙂
Love Kraftwerk. Always.
i love this !!
Simply perfect
Seeing the great ones at a fitting venue Donnerstag @ Trinity college Dublin have seen them many times .... Vorsprung durch technic 🇩🇪😎👍 .....
What a hit! 2019 still listen to this hit
so elegant
I love amazing AND wonderfull 80s
Kraftwerk genios !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
exactly what a amzing chune
These are memories of my childhood, great song.
Epic for life, like the movie Breakin
I wished CBS or other sports networks used this song, whenever they were broadcasted the Tour de France.🚵
En Francia... Que hermoso y lucho herrera
Damn hand...! At the time of my high school years it was at its peak. It was the first time I heard it.😄😄😄😄
Repose en paix, Florian

Genialny kawałek!

I feel the need to go outside and breakdance with a broom 🤔
Well im back from breakdancing with a broom, what did i miss?
that was from the movie breakin
Hmm ... somehow strange ´cause we normal ones feel the need to go outside and ride a bike 🤔
then you're an old fart
POP LOCKERS/BREAKERS LEFT PLANET 🌍 WHEN THIS CAME OUT!!!STILL LEVITATING 🕴😵😉
Tour de France, Tour de France !
Grandes de la música electrónica.
Brilliant
This tune should be brought back for 2023 TDF.
