Who do you think of if I mention the song Vienna?

[LesMisSaigon]

AIBU to think most people think of Ultravox if asked "Who sang Vienna?"
My DD reckons more people think of Billy Joel.(I didn't even know he had a much earlier single out called Vienna)
So my fellow Mumsnetters, tell me who you think of please?
Yanbu- Of course it's Ultravox.
Yabu- Billy Joel, you philistine.

Ultravox obviously your dh is bu

Ultravox and they was robbed.

It means nothing to me.

(I hope nobody’s beaten me to it!)

Of course it was Ultravox and some of the video was filmed in the building opposite my flat 😊

Possibly it depends on how old you are and where you live, Ultravox for me but if I was older or not from the UK may I'd say Billy Jorl

That's because you are too young to remember. Lucky you 😆

Shutuppa your face

Ultravox.

Woooooahh Viennnnnnaaaa!

Midge Ure

Billy Joel (I'm late 30s if that is relevant)

This means nothing to me.

Ultravox. Weren’t they kept off the number 1 spot by ‘Shut up ya face’? An absolute travesty!

I think Billy joel!
Interestingly spotify suggested it first as did Google.

They might be based on previous listening though but not specifically to Vienna which I've never played on spotify

It means nothing to me

Billy Joel of course. Lovely story behind it.

Hang on. Billy Joel covered Vienna???????

You and me both!

Always remember being kept from Number 1 by Shaddupa your face 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think of Vienetta. Whenever I see Vienetta I hear it sung to the tune of Vienna. I don't think I've ever known who actually sang it.

Whatsa matter you, hey?

Automatically think of 13 Going On 30!
Thirty, flirty and thriving!!

Ahhhh Vienna

Ultravox obvs

Queen and FM

Ultravox. But in answer to your title, Gene Hunt is who I think of when I hear the song.

My dd would say the same as your dd, but I'm with you OP.
