The title track to Ringo Starr's 1974 album, "Goodnight Vienna" was a not entirely politically correct party song written by John Lennon. This single contains a unique medley of "(It's All Down to) Goodnight Vienna" and "Goodnight Vienna (reprise)".
[edit] Composition and Lyrics
The four verses of the song all follow the same structure, with each line ending with the phrase "ah-hah-hah", and each verse ending with the nonsensical line "It's all da-da-da-down to Goodnight Vienna".
The lyrics also contain the London slang term "bohunk", which is a mildly derogatory term for a person of Hungarian or Czech descent.
