“Tour de France” is a song by German electronic band Kraftwerk. It was first issued in early August 1983, peaking at number 22 in the United Kingdom singles chart since 6 August. It is notable for the use of sampled voices and mechanical sounds associated with cycling that were used to supplement a simple electro-percussion pattern an approach Kraftwerk had used on earlier tracks such as “Metal on Metal” (from Trans-Europe Express) and “Numbers” (from Computer World).
