R.I.P.! Possible my favourite band.
I first heard Kraftwerk at 8 or 9 years old, a friend of mine had a LP with a music of them. One of those all hits kind of album, so in the middle of Duran Duran and other songs, Kraftwerk - Tour de la France.
We liked the song do to the sounds and the melody. Little we new what was about. I read tour like tower, so said something about France tower or it's about a tower in France.
