In the evenings, there’s a wealth of food and drink options to explore in the district, from Das Eduard’s pita burgers on its outdoor terrace, to indie bar ein affee and wine haven Reinwein. Vegetarians can enjoy the secluded delights of restaurant and art gallery Hollerei, a short walk from Meidling Hauptstrasse station. 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).

Vienna" is a song by British new wave band Ultravox from their 1980 fourth studio album of the same name. It was released as the album's third single on 9 January 1981 by Chrysalis Records [2] and features Midge Ure singing the lead vocal. From its time as the capital of an imperial superpower, through war, dissolution, dictatorship to democracy Vienna has reinvented itself and its relevance to the rest of the world.It took me about half an hour to walk from the centre of Vienna – from the opera house – to the Freud Museum on Berggasse. It's pretty much a straight line: up Augustinerstrasse, along Herrengasse, past the stables of the Spanish Riding School, then straight across Michaelerplatz and on along the street past the Café Central and then across the wide avenue of the Ring by the university. Another few hundred yards and then a right turn down the gentle slope of Berggasse to number 19, the apartment building where Freud lived and practised for 47 years, from 1891-1938, and which has been transformed into a small but fascinating museum.

Ringstrasse Tram Tour 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.

I can see where people can get an impression that the movie influenced the song. After all, the movie is not horrific as you claim it is (the idea behind it is though). It is actually quiet atmospheric, with it's unusual score, strange camera angles and lighting that is very mood invoking (whether the bright lights in the sewer scenes or the dark streets with lights shimmering on the roads etc). The movie does have an ebb and flow of sights and sounds.

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.’ Lance from Ingelheim, GermanyBest listened to during the cold, harsh winter months; this song crystalizes the essence of a dead, still winter night. This gem also combine's Midge's blase disregard by his simple-yet-articulate proclamations ("this means nothing to me"). This song carries a heavy load of overdignified splendor, with the video done in abject vain to capture the essence of the then-neo noir arrogance that Vienna possessed. Artsy and excessive - yet the song is optimal in nature. Underated through and through. Official Singles Chart Top 75". Official Charts Company. 22–28 February 1981 . Retrieved 8 February 2016.
