Awesome. Makes more sense than most of his songs.

But now I need to see an excellent dancer reversed so now they resemble a dancing tube man.

While I’m at it, here’s Elaine dancing backwards
Strangely, there’s not much improvement in her dancing when reversed.

My wife Jennifer and I made our own homage to Kraftwerk - Wolfgang Flür specifically. He was kind enough after our Kraftwerk themed wedding to sit and enjoy some of Düsseldorf’s signature Altbier with us a few years ago - so why not? She sewed a pattern and we experimented with various fans until we decided to bite the bullet and buy a proper bespoke fan. Wolfgang later used a modified version of our video during his live shows, the first being opening for Chemical Brothers. I hadn’t seen reversed slo-mo dancer footage prior, which proves that there’s nothing new under the sun.

I thought the fan that animates the dancer was going to be reversed. That would have sucked.

See also the 2004 Adult Swim outro for “too good for this world” anime parody Perfect Hair Forever’s first episode, starring reversed air dancer and complete with wonderfully surreal lounge music.
