This is starting to bug me somewhat now. Several different people now (all of a certain age) have told me of a remarkable sounding coincidence that, back in the 80s, as well as the band Ultravox releasing Vienna, an incredibly well-known and charting track, around the same a band called Vienna released a track called Ultravox.
The first time I was told this (about 5 years ago) I naturally decided to research it on the net. I managed to find absolutely nothing, all possible and specific searches just kept leading me back to Vienna by Ultravox, wasn't even able to find a reference to an Ultravox by Vienna, and concluded that the guy who told me the story was pulling my leg.
Except I've now been told exactly the same story by quite a few different people over the years, the most recent instance being from a shop colleague a couple days ago. Even now, despite my best efforts, I can't find a single record of any such thing ever happening on the interweb.
I'm going to assume that this track didn't exist and it's just an urban legend. Even so, how the hell is it that a number of completely different, completely unrelated people have told me this, yet there's seemingly absolutely no reference to it anywhere on the biggest information hub on the planet? Has anyone else heard this story before to back it up? I need to least confirm that this isn't some global conspiracy to personally wind me up...
