I'm always confused when people throw A# into songs where it's supposed to be Bb. The song is in B flat major and the chorus is in G minor, neither of those scales have A#.

About this song: Vienna

"Vienna" is a song from Billy Joel's breakthrough 1977 album The Stranger, released as the B-side to his "She's Always A Woman" single. It was played in a 1981 episode of Taxi called "Vienna Waits." Marilu Henner's character Elaine Nardo refers to the song while on vacation in Europe with Alex Reiger, played by Judd Hirsch. The song can also be found on the soundtrack of 13 Going on 30.In a July 2008 New York Times article, Joel cited this as one of his two favorite songs, along with "Summer, Highland Falls".[1] Read more on Last.fm.
