I watched my cousin break dance this song in 1987 , he crashed and they all died 3 months later ona car wreck at the age of 18 , They gave me a great show that day so this song loves in my memories forever , thanx for sharing it !!!!
Kraftwerk were light years ahead of their time. Unbelievable the decade they started making music like this. You can tell Florian Schneider was obsessed with cycling. He brought his two passions together and made this masterpiece.
I was 11 when this song came out, taking breakdancing lessons at the YMCA. This was my favorite song to dance to on cardboard in 6th grade. I wasn’t that good but damn I was having fun. RIP good old days.
It was a great time Ben, This and Rocket by Herbie Hancock were my favourites, and when Turbo did the broom dance to this in the film Breakdance, it up’d the game. I wasn’t that good either, but as you said, we were having a great time. Here’s to old times brother. 👍🏻

To me, this is their SIGNATURE Song ... I absolutely fell in love with it when it came out & still love it! It's just beautiful - all those harp-like glissandos, the sexy catchy rhythms,... and how innovative to incorporate the sound of a cyclist breathing - no 2 alike, the other mechanical sounds of the bicycle ... Pure Genius! I'm convinced these guys time-traveled back to the 70s/80s & gave us their music from far into the future! They're simply OUTSTANDING! Trained in classical music, went Prog-Rock in the early 70s, expressed musical ideas & compositions with mechanical instruments ... ever-filled with HEART & SOUL ... I LOOOOOVVVE KRAFTWERK!
This syncopated drum track was Crack to breakers and poppers....stii sounds crisp and futuristic 40 years later.....we were in awe ...........flowers for kraftwerks artistry and innovation....beats still hard as hell
I just heard this song today. Boogaloo shrimp used it for an updated broom dance scene. You're spot on. This shit is futuristic robotic breakbeat glory.
Actually thank Hindemith as that's where they got the melody from. So thank Hindemith for existing and writing such good music that even Kraftwerk stole it!

I would break dance for hours in mu basement when i was a kid in the 80s. Breakin ?!?!? Turbo with broom....sick!!! I wish I could find this version somewhere to purchase. Every thing these days is a remix. Killer track even in 2018!
Fully agree. I grew up in the 80s, too, and yeaaaaah: life was MUCH better then. That's why I thought the movie, "Hot Tub Time Machine," was so stupid. If *I* had the chance to go back to 1986, I be like, "So long, SUCKERS! I'm going to a WHAM! concert tonight!" Haha. I wouldn't come back to THIS screwed up era.
You guys are really lucky. Many things were better back then in my opinion, but I never got the privilege to actually live through the 80s. More importantly, today's music sUCKS compared to 80s, no matter the genre.
@@charonsferryold Well, lucky you. I hope one day to go to the US. I have been in France (35 years ago) and about 20 years ago i frequently visited Italy. All for hollidays.
can't believe this song came out 34 years ago. That's fucking mental. If it was released today it would still be considered ground breaking. waaaaaaaay ahead of their time
Nearly 40 years now. Crazy. Im 31 and heard it the first time today on an indie radio channel while driving in my car. I had to search it. I was thinking it came out a few years ago.
I was 11 when I first heard it on a breakdance cassette. 1983 was a great year for rap and breakdance music. Today I still listen to all of the old school music from my past. Try listening to Electric Kingdom.
Iwas looking a long time for this song because i heard it in the film break dance in the early eighty's and did not know that this song was played by kraftwerk.
haha, man good times, the 80's were awesome, we use to break to this too!! I was 8 in 1983, we would go to the t-shirt store and buy the t-shirts with iron on patches and get our crew name in olde english lettering and what not.
Love that record! Always reminds me of my pal at school buying the 12" version & we went back to his & stuck it on in front of his mum & grandparents. Unfortunately at the wrong speed! You should've seen the look on their faces (then ours!) when the room was filled with slow, heavy breathing! XD
Lol I can relate with different French song. Enigma "Sadeness pt. 1" I think. I was watching video on MTV & my mom heard the heavy breathing & accused me of watching porn & demanded that I turn it off! I was like, duh mom. She is running & out of breath! (Let's go watch "Run Lola Run!!) 🇩🇪
My Daddy introduced me to Kraftwerk indirectly because he loves Breakin the movie where they sample this song for Turbos Broom Dance. I always loved that song. One day, my Dad was in jail, and I was missing him so much drinking at a bar, and I asked the DJ who the artist of this song and he proudly said Kraftwerk. I was a huge fan since then, more than my Dad who only knows this part of their music. I tried to tell him that they are also responsible for several iconic 80s songs that he likes like Planet Rock from Africa Bombatta. He’s like whatever. I’m like DAD this is you’re era!!!! It’s amazing and you don’t even realize how lucky you were to be alive back then!!! Gaaahhhh!!!
Amazing to have been a teenager inthe greatest decade for music loved everything even the clothes this song reminds me of summer 1984 being 14 /15 without a care in the world not like todays kids
Started cycling in 1981 aged 12 with the Rotherham wheeler’s cycling club in England and when this came out two years later it was the soundtrack to my cycling life and at last cycling was being recognised in the most modern of music at the time . Every time I hear it now makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up
Just got on youtube to see what Kraftwerk is about (as I was pretty limited to watching MTV in the 80s). I played this first due to once being a serious cyclist and am absolutely floored.
So am I. I’ve been such a twit. I’ve just listened to music from the eighties not really ever fully understood it despite my love of the 80’s and this band we’re doin it before I was born in 1971 I’ve never seen a band live ☹️ I’m 49 now partly disabled and so regret my past.
@@chrishowland6062 you are NOT a twit, promise yourself that once we are through this horrendous time that you will go and see live music...... it really is the best. Btw I was born 1972 got into electro/electronic music in the 80s.... Love Depeche Mode, soft cell, OMD and New Order and it was that music that got me interested in Kraftwerk
This is a so good memory from my youth!! I'm 46 now and I'm listening to ACID hardtrance these days and Kraftwerk was one of the groups that showed me the way into electric music. Still listening to my old favourites from the old days when I was younger....👍❤
If you listen to the music you can hear hard work climbing up hills, coasting through beautiful countryside and then more hard riding through the French countryside.
I remember playing this jam on my brothers 12 inch record player in 1983, i was 8 years old. I would adk him to put on this record for me and i would start breakdancing and he would get a kick out of it. Lol. Awe the memories with this great song. It was way ahead of its time. This song started a whole new era of music.
I was in the 11th grade when this came out. I remember when Numbers came out and I would walk down the street with my huge boombox that held 11 D batteries. 😂

I'm chilean. I was born in 1990. My english is very poor and I don't have any idea about french. I don't know what the hell they're saying in this song, but IT'S AMAZING.
+InvaderDaniela No te preocupes. La musica se siente. Esta canción es una de las que mas me ha Ellos son gustado de niño. Kraftwerk son alemanes, pero esta versión es cantada en frances. Saludos.
+InvaderDaniela Cantan acerca de la dureza, los problemas y la alegría de las carreras de bicicleta. L'enfer du Nord: Paris-Roubaix - Así le llaman a una carrera clásica en el norte de Francia, el Infierno del Norte. No sé si en algún momento del Tour pasen por la ruta de esa carrera, pero en principio son cosas distintas. La côte d'Azur et Saint Tropez - Partes de Francia por donde pasa el Tour. Les Alpes et les Pyrinées - Partes de Francia por donde también pasa el Tour- Derniére étape: Champs Elysées - La última etapa [del Tour]: Campos Elíseos. Galibier et Tourmalet - lugares [puertos de montaña] donde terminan unas etapas del Tour. Son etapas muy duras porque hay que escalar mucho. En denseuse jusq'au sommet: 'bailar sobre los pedales' hasta la cima. Bailar sobre los pedales es pedalear parado, sin sentarse en el sillín de la bicicleta, generalmente se hace en subidas. Pedaler en grand braquet - Pedelear a gran velocidad, quiero creer que braquet se refiere a la posición de la cadena en el cassette [catarina]. Sprint final à l'arrivée - el último esfuerzo para llegar a la meta. Sprint final a la llegada. Crevaison sur le pave - pinchadura [de la llanta] en el pavimento Le vélo est vite reparé - la bicicleta es reparada rápidamente Le peloton est regroupé - El pelotón se reagrupa. Cuando hay accidentes, el grupo más grande de ciclistas en la carrera (pelotón) puede quedar separado pero en ciertas circunstancias conviene ir juntos. Camarade et amitié - Camaradería y amistad, que surgen por pasar tiempo juntos, ayudarse aunque sean rivales y tal. Quizás no está del todo bien, saqué la letra de la canción escuchando y mi francés nunca ha sido tan bueno, pero en términos generales eso es lo que canta Ralf y mi interpretación de por qué está escrito así.
@@Gggg-zu8gt The pentatonic is the scale of common sense. The conventional 7 note scale has that same pentatonic sensibility but with 2 dissonant semitones separated by a major 3rd or a tritone that gives you a choice of 3 pentatonics for which to keep sophisicated listeners interested.
love this song. brings back maad memories. electro hip-hop, and disco, and folk and classic rock and soul. those were the shit. they dont make em like they do, i am 42 and miss the hell outta the old school. one
big up eric preston. yeah those were the days ya feel me? there will never be a time like the 70s and 80s again. not that i forsee with this "garbage" the youngbloods consider "music". peace and one
My father(an old school bboy) showed me the movie Breakin 4yrs ago and its the reason i got into breakdancing and its music before that ive danced but not breakdance now its my favorite dancing it feeds my soul, recently ive heard Florian passed so came here and to the Turbo Broom scene to revisit.
I first heard this on a break dance tape I shoplifted from Woolworths. Man those were the days. I was having the time of my life as a preteen in 83-84. I eventually got caught shoplifting, LoL.
great song. wow...this song really stands the test of time. some of those other 80s songs i used to love now just sound "ok" but this song still sounds amazing. very special song.
Was just talking to my kids about the same trainers yesterday. They asked me what was my first nice pair I bought when I was their age - The Nike Wimbledon
Kraftwerk was a Revolution for Music world wide.pure electro Music and never heard beats.a total new Music style was Born...open a door for many new music ideas.
Que recuerdo.... 👍♥️aquí en Colombia sirvió de inspiración para que en 1984 el maestro Jaime Valencia realizara la canción de la vuelta a Colombia Colmena.
i was born decades after kraftwerk’s biggest hits and hearing man machine on the car radio was one of those miracles to introduce me to something great before my time. kraftwerk ran so modern edm could walk
1983 unleashed this and Blue Monday. I was 15 and living in the future. Now I live in the past.
little did you know that the actual future would suck this bad

People in 1980: This makes me want to be in the 2020’s
People in 2020: This makes me want to go back to the 80’s
That's SO flippin' true!
😂🍺
Paradox ja
An absolutely brilliant comment! ...never truer.
So true dude
I was 18 years old when this song was popular in 1983. Now I am 56 years old and I still am listening to this classic masterpiece.
🤟🏾
Legend
I was a wannabee break dancer in 83 with this song...lol...56 also
Nothing Wrong With That And You Have A Good Taste In Music!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

What a tune !! Who is still listening to this in 2024 !! And I'm 61 !!

I watched my cousin break dance this song in 1987 , he crashed and they all died 3 months later ona car wreck at the age of 18 , They gave me a great show that day so this song loves in my memories forever , thanx for sharing it !!!!
Aw man, thats tragic. Sorry to hear that but the memory never dies.

Yep
I don’t know why, but Kraftwerk evokes some kind of subconscious nostalgia in me.
That is normal :D
Me too
Because you were raised in the coolest musical era... ever.
Hauntology.
Past lives
This song was, and still is, ahead of its time. Masterfully done!
Kraftwerk were light years ahead of their time. Unbelievable the decade they started making music like this. You can tell Florian Schneider was obsessed with cycling. He brought his two passions together and made this masterpiece.
Was 7 Yrs tears 😭
hütter is the bikefreak=))
RIP Florian. One of the most influential artists of all time and I can’t believe you’re gone. Your music has meant so much to me over the years.
Rip
Phat happy porn like sound ? This swings hard though I know that much
The passing of Florian was a sad loss to the music world
Absolutely mind bigolling even today in 2023 . Classic sounds
I was 10 in 1983, now I'm 50. I live in the past , with the 80s, which were and will always be the absolute best hands down. God is Good!! 🙏🏼
I was 11 when this song came out, taking breakdancing lessons at the YMCA. This was my favorite song to dance to on cardboard in 6th grade. I wasn’t that good but damn I was having fun. RIP good old days.
From 1983
It was a great time Ben, This and Rocket by Herbie Hancock were my favourites, and when Turbo did the broom dance to this in the film Breakdance, it up’d the game. I wasn’t that good either, but as you said, we were having a great time. Here’s to old times brother. 👍🏻

To me, this is their SIGNATURE Song ... I absolutely fell in love with it when it came out & still love it! It's just beautiful - all those harp-like glissandos, the sexy catchy rhythms,... and how innovative to incorporate the sound of a cyclist breathing - no 2 alike, the other mechanical sounds of the bicycle ... Pure Genius! I'm convinced these guys time-traveled back to the 70s/80s & gave us their music from far into the future! They're simply OUTSTANDING! Trained in classical music, went Prog-Rock in the early 70s, expressed musical ideas & compositions with mechanical instruments ... ever-filled with HEART & SOUL ... I LOOOOOVVVE KRAFTWERK!

Kraftwerk redefined everything.
When I was around 11-12 in the early eighties I heard this song and it really was an eye opener. Such a great song by a great band.
I’m so glad I was a 70s baby! This hit right on time. I was 11 years old.
I was 11 when I first heard it on a breakdance cassette. 1983 was a great year for rap and breakdance music. Today I still listen to all of the old school music from my past. Try listening to Electric Kingdom.
I can remember this from my Breakdancing Days, I was 10 in 1983.
ANOTHER MASSIVE HIT FOR KRAFTWERK...
Iwas looking a long time for this song because i heard it in the film break dance in the early eighty's and did not know that this song was played by kraftwerk.
harrie evers yeah,, it's Great isn't it???
harrie evers Go on TH-cam the full film Breakdance is on there..

This is as good now that I’m 52 as it was when I was 12. Kraftwerk is timeless.
Man haven't heard this in a while and it still sounds dope.

They are the true pioneers of electro techno pop music.
hip hop also
Without question!

What a beautiful aria. True MASTERPIECE. It' s the homework for today's musicians.
This song was included on a compilation album of rap beats and instrumentals back in '84. That is where I first heard this song from that cassette.
Listening this song from my childhood. It's 2020!
Thanks Kraftwerk!
If you listen to the music you can hear hard work climbing up hills, coasting through beautiful countryside and then more hard riding through the French countryside.
I remember playing this jam on my brothers 12 inch record player in 1983, i was 8 years old. I would adk him to put on this record for me and i would start breakdancing and he would get a kick out of it. Lol. Awe the memories with this great song. It was way ahead of its time. This song started a whole new era of music.
Dayyyyyyyyum! Who remembers Turbo outside the corner store doing his thang from Breakin?!
I'am Turbo pal!
Yeah, he should've been sweeping up the garbage, not breakin' and poppin' !!!
Yes yes
Yes yes
I was in the 11th grade when this came out. I remember when Numbers came out and I would walk down the street with my huge boombox that held 11 D batteries. 😂

Word
Are you still alive?
I'm chilean. I was born in 1990. My english is very poor and I don't have any idea about french. I don't know what the hell they're saying in this song, but IT'S AMAZING.
+InvaderDaniela El grupo es Alemán, asi que no creo que fueses a entender mucho en todo caso :D
+Gamal Trinidad Kabil Esta canción esta en francés
+InvaderDaniela te casas conmigo?
+InvaderDaniela No te preocupes. La musica se siente. Esta canción es una de las que mas me ha Ellos son gustado de niño. Kraftwerk son alemanes, pero esta versión es cantada en frances. Saludos.
+InvaderDaniela Cantan acerca de la dureza, los problemas y la alegría de las carreras de bicicleta.
L'enfer du Nord: Paris-Roubaix - Así le llaman a una carrera clásica en el norte de Francia, el Infierno del Norte. No sé si en algún momento del Tour pasen por la ruta de esa carrera, pero en principio son cosas distintas.
La côte d'Azur et Saint Tropez - Partes de Francia por donde pasa el Tour.
Les Alpes et les Pyrinées - Partes de Francia por donde también pasa el Tour-
Derniére étape: Champs Elysées - La última etapa [del Tour]: Campos Elíseos.
Galibier et Tourmalet - lugares [puertos de montaña] donde terminan unas etapas del Tour. Son etapas muy duras porque hay que escalar mucho.
En denseuse jusq'au sommet: 'bailar sobre los pedales' hasta la cima. Bailar sobre los pedales es pedalear parado, sin sentarse en el sillín de la bicicleta, generalmente se hace en subidas.
Pedaler en grand braquet - Pedelear a gran velocidad, quiero creer que braquet se refiere a la posición de la cadena en el cassette [catarina].
Sprint final à l'arrivée - el último esfuerzo para llegar a la meta. Sprint final a la llegada.
Crevaison sur le pave - pinchadura [de la llanta] en el pavimento
Le vélo est vite reparé - la bicicleta es reparada rápidamente
Le peloton est regroupé - El pelotón se reagrupa. Cuando hay accidentes, el grupo más grande de ciclistas en la carrera (pelotón) puede quedar separado pero en ciertas circunstancias conviene ir juntos.
Camarade et amitié - Camaradería y amistad, que surgen por pasar tiempo juntos, ayudarse aunque sean rivales y tal.
Quizás no está del todo bien, saqué la letra de la canción escuchando y mi francés nunca ha sido tan bueno, pero en términos generales eso es lo que canta Ralf y mi interpretación de por qué está escrito así.
Like a fine wine that improves with age.
Summer 1984 while watching Turbo in Breakin' in a movie theater, I wad 16 then, nuff said. Unforgettable !
That dreamy, ambient and occasionally Asiatic sound is a nice touch.
Any pentatonic sound sounds asiatic.
So does most tribal sounding music.
@@iamiwasthenaiiamnow6846 actually that melody is a reference to hindemiths sonata for flute and piano, but you’re right
@@Gggg-zu8gt
The pentatonic is the scale of common sense.
The conventional 7 note scale has that same pentatonic sensibility but with 2 dissonant semitones separated by a major 3rd or a tritone that gives you a choice of 3 pentatonics for which to keep sophisicated listeners interested.
@@iamiwasthenaiiamnow6846 Thats correct, but nonetheless its the said reference and not just any pentatonic melody :p
Used to go through my head cycling back in the 80's. An Earworm!
Love it.
Love the harp😎.This makes my soul dance like when a horse meets his unicorn wife it's magic!🤗
Legendary Classic !!!!!!

I just saw them live in Atlanta. Tour de France live was the best part of the most amazing musical performance I've seen in my life
The movie breakin brought me here in 2020. Saw this movie when I was 7 back in 1984 now my daughters love the music
Glad I ain't alone! I was 13 when I saw it in '84. Immediately tried to emulate Turbo! Lol! I was good but not that good!
Breakin was one of my fave films as a kid!
@@stanleywilliams1605 You weren't alone.
My father(an old school bboy) showed me the movie Breakin 4yrs ago and its the reason i got into breakdancing and its music before that ive danced but not breakdance now its my favorite dancing it feeds my soul, recently ive heard Florian passed so came here and to the Turbo Broom scene to revisit.
Dieses Lied ist ein Meisterwerk
amazing I've been looking for this song I'm bout to cry oh my God
Racquel Randle hahaha it's a great track
Racquel Randle it brought chill bumps and tears to mine too.
You owe me 7doalls man.!!
@@MadeInManny0161 yh owe me 7dolls man
13 years old in Doncaster with my mates and loving the cool dudes with their rolls of lino breakdancing. This is when I first heard this masterpiece.
I had so much fun listening to their music...
The original music video was the perfect combination of an iconic pro sport and cutting-edge studio production.
I was 12 in 1983 use to go crazy ! Breaking it down to this classic kraftwerk.
i coped the 12 inch ay miller square the day it came out
may Florian Schneider rest in peace,they impacted Hip Hop,Electro and so much that came after
Me too Johnny! My Dad blasted it when TDF cape on. We recorded them on our VHS and replayed the music over and over! Pure class 🤗
I first heard this on a break dance tape I shoplifted from Woolworths. Man those were the days. I was having the time of my life as a preteen in 83-84. I eventually got caught shoplifting, LoL.
Love this music !!!!!!!! Classic for ever !!!!!
great song. wow...this song really stands the test of time. some of those other 80s songs i used to love now just sound "ok" but this song still sounds amazing. very special song.
Kraftwerk were simply amazing and light years ahead of its time.
Back in the year of 1983, I can remember buying my first pair of white Nike trainers with the blue swoosh on them, thought they were so cool :))
Was just talking to my kids about the same trainers yesterday. They asked me what was my first nice pair I bought when I was their age - The Nike Wimbledon
@@Amirul1973 how about the Nike Cortez, they are immortal. I've had some pairs of those back in the day 😎
Kraftwerk was a Revolution for Music world wide.pure electro Music and never heard beats.a total new Music style was Born...open a door for many new music ideas.
Que recuerdo.... 👍♥️aquí en Colombia sirvió de inspiración para que en 1984 el maestro Jaime Valencia realizara la canción de la vuelta a Colombia Colmena.
This always has and always be my favourite tune
The world will never know how great my dancing is to this tune while I'm in the shower 🚿 🙆
Be careful😮
@@swanswanson8662 OK 👍🏻
The year was '83 and I was about 12, but I loved this jam....all I can say that it's classic and the Broom Dance from the movie Breakin' was SICK!!!
the Breakin scene with this was so badass
right
i was born decades after kraftwerk’s biggest hits and hearing man machine on the car radio was one of those miracles to introduce me to something great before my time. kraftwerk ran so modern edm could walk
Kraftwerk 1983 Summer Jam. Was a Hot Jam then and still is now.
