I was proud of it and couldn’t bear the thought of it being passed over. I was surprised it was a hit because it was long – when we went on Top of the Pops, we had to cut it. It went straight from the chorus to the violin solo. I hated that. Sadly, Vienna didn’t get to No 1. We were denied the top spot by the novelty hit Shaddap You Face.

In interviews at the time it was said that the song took its inspiration from the 1949 film The Third Man, which is based around the Austrian capital, but Midge Ure later admitted he made that up when asked what the song was about. [4] Ure is said to have been influenced by the Walker Brothers' 1978 single " The Electrician". [5] According to Ure's autobiography, the title came about by a mishearing of the Fleetwood Mac song " Rhiannon". [6]

It offers a fresh perspective on the city in which Robertson worked as a journalist for nearly a decade and involved extensive original research' We’d been listening to music by this old German composer called Max Reger. He’d tried too hard to be successful and deliberately overdid it. That was why I did a violin solo that was overly vibrato and romantic. Midge felt a little uncomfortable, because he’d only just joined and thought we were being arty-farty. “This means nothing to me,” he said. And Conny Plank, our producer, replied: “Well, sing that then.” So long that we all got impatient with waiting and dipped into the many cases of wine we’d laid on for refreshment after the shoot. By the time the crew was ready to film, we were all well partying for real. Vienna's much-loved Christmas market season runs from around mid-November to Christmas Eve. The Christkindlmärkte atmosphere is magical with stalls in streets and squares selling wooden toys, festive decorations and traditional food such as Würstel (sausages) and Glühwein (mulled wine). The centrepiece is the Wiener Weihnachtstraum Christkindlmarkt on Rathausplatz but you'll find Christmas markets across the city including at Schloss Schönbrunn. Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus: 15th district

A conclusion could easily be drawn between the atmosphere of the song and the atmosphere of the movie. However, I believe this connection to be simple co-incidence, a connection that appears to exist yet is in fact something unrelated. (I think the connection between the 'Wizard of Oz' with the sound off and the Pink Floyd Album 'Dark Side of the Moon' is an excellent example of this sort of co-incidence. The emotions on the album match that on the screen, but was not deliberate).

Roth's hero feels doomed, as if there was something inevitable about the catastrophe that was coming, but the details of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28 June 1914 could not be a better example of brute chance in action, of utter contingency determining events. In the morning of the 28th, as the royal motorcade drove through the streets of Sarajevo, a bomb had been thrown, bounced off the rear of the archduke's car and exploded further down the street. Warning enough, one might have thought, but Franz Ferdinand proceeded with his duties, attended an official reception at the town hall and made a speech. The motorcade set off again but the driver of the royal car took a wrong turning and headed – irony piling on irony – into Franz Joseph Street. The car stopped and began to reverse out, and its engine stalled. It was at this moment that one member of the gang of Serbian irridentists, Gavrilo Princip – whose assassination attempt had seemed to have ended in total failure – spotted the open-topped car reversing and saw who was in it. He stepped forward and shot Franz Ferdinand in the throat and his wife, Sophie, in the abdomen. Both died shortly after.

From the Congress of Vienna to the Austria World Summit the city of Vienna has hosted key meetings on peace to climate action. This is a first-class book about Vienna as the crossroads of civilization and as the international capital' Warren Cann later explained: "It may come as a surprise to know that approximately half of it was shot on locations in central London, mainly at Covent Garden and also in the old Kilburn Gaumont Theatre in North London (now a Bingo hall).

What an enjoyable cosmopolitan and exuberant celebration of Vienna by a someone who really knows and loves that great city' When talking with British people of a certain age, it’s almost impossible to mention Vienna without someone adding something about it meaning nothing to me. a b c "British single certifications – Ultravox – Vienna".

This is going to sound terrible, but I quite like that song, I think it's funny." The song is played in the season finale of 13 Reasons Why, over Hannah Baker's final message to Clay Jensen. It is also featured during the intro of the final episode of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, as Andrew Cunanan (played by Darren Criss) shoots and murders Gianni Versace (played by Édgar Ramírez).The most telling element is that ‘Vienna’ references ‘the warmth of your hand.’ Although there is an unrequited love aspect to ‘The Third Man,’ there is no interaction between characters that would really qualify as ‘warmth.’ This line seems very out-of-place for a reference to ‘The Third Man.’ At the time, it was said that the song was inspired by the 1948 film The Third Man, which is based around the Austrian capital of Vienna.
