It was a tribute to Florian Schneider,[1] co-founder of the band Kraftwerk, whom Bowie acknowledged as a significant influence at the time.[2] The title also referenced the V-2 rocket, the first ballistic missile, which had been developed for the German Army during World War II, and whose design (and engineers) played a key role in the American space program. The only words sung are those in the title, initially distorted by phasing.[3] Musically, the track is unusual for the off-beat saxophone work by Bowie, who kicked off his part on the wrong note, but continued regardless.[4] "V-2 Schneider" achieved considerable circulation as the B-side of "Heroes", released prior to the album, but was not played on the subsequent 1978 concert tour, its first live rendition occurring 20 years after it was recorded (see Live versions).[3] Live versionsA live version recorded at Paradiso, Amsterdam in June 1997, was released as the B-side of the single "Pallas Athena" in August 1997, under the name 'Tao Jones Index'.[5] This version also appeared on the bonus disc for the Digibook Expanded Edition of Earthling.
