Vienna is a song from Billy Joel’s 1977 album The Stranger, released as the B-side to his “Just the Way You Are” single. In a July 2008 New York Times article, Joel cited this as one of his two favorite songs, along with “Summer, Highland Falls”. 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. Due to licensing restrictions, the song has been omitted from the episode on DVD, though is intact on the Hulu versions of the episode. “Vienna” can also be found on the soundtrack of 13 Going on 30. Despite being only a B-side, the song has become one of Joel’s most popular songs, especially in the later years. It’s a firm fan favorite, even more than its A-side and hit “Just the Way You Are”, and it’s Joel’s 5th most streamed song on Spotify.
