The Danube (English pronunciation: /ˈdænjuːb/ DAN-yoob) is a river in Central Europe, the continent's second longest after the Volga.
Classified as an international waterway, it originates in the town of Donaueschingen in the Black Forest of Germany at the confluence of the rivers Brigach and Breg. The Danube then flows southeast for 2,872 km (1,785 mi), passing through four Central European capitals before emptying into the Black Sea via the Danube Delta in Romania and Ukraine.
Known to history as one of the long-standing frontiers of the Roman Empire, the river passes through or acts as part of the borders of ten countries. Its drainage basin is shared by Romania (29.0%), Hungary (11.6%), Serbia (10.2%, including Kosovo), Austria (10.0%), Germany (7.0%), Slovakia (5.9%), Bulgaria (5.9%), Croatia (4.4%), Ukraine (3.8%), and Moldova (1.6%).
The Danube was known in Latin as Danubius, Danuvius, Ister, in Ancient Greek as Ἴστρος (Istros) . The Dacian/Thracian name was Τάναις/Donaris / Donaris (upper Danube) and Istros (lower Danube). Its Thraco-Phrygian name was Matoas, "the bringer of luck".
Johann Strauss II (October 25, 1825 – June 3, 1899), also known as Johann Baptist Strauss or Johann Strauss, Jr., the Younger, or the Son (German: Sohn), was an Austrian composer of light music, particularly dance music and operettas. He composed over 500 waltzes, polkas, quadrilles, and other types of dance music, as well as several operettas and a ballet. In his lifetime, he was known as "The Waltz King", and was largely then responsible for the popularity of the waltz in Vienna during the 19th century.
Strauss was born in St. Ulrich (now a part of Neubau), the son of Johann Strauss I, another composer of dance music. His father did not wish him to become a composer, but rather a banker; however, the son defied his father's wishes, and went on to study music with the composer Joseph Drechsler and the violin with Anton Kollmann, the ballet répétiteur of the Vienna Court Opera. Strauss had two younger brothers, Josef and Eduard Strauss, who became composers of light music as well, although they were never as well known as their elder brother.

An der schönen blauen Donau Op.314 [Blue Danube Waltz] [Excerpt]
I’m stuck… in a traffic jam,
Hands to my head as the lights turn red
I’m stuck… feels like quicksand
And times running out, gotta figure this out
Yeah it’s on… World War 3
As my head, my heart disagree.
Head says no, heart says yes, I’m my own worst enemy
(Chorus)
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
And I’m damned if I do, shamed if I don’t…
Yeah I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say
that I love you…
One year, it’s like a lifetime with you all alone,
we've been through it all.
I can’t, no I can’t be a murderer
Just given it all, what more could they want than love!
Hey, in a second; we were lost now found once more
What feels right, seems so wrong
Yeah the truth will never lie…
(Chorus)
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
And I am dammed if I do, shamed if I don’t…
Yeah I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say
that I love you…
Dammed if I do, shamed if I don’t
Torned if I do, blamed if I don’t
(Chorus)
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say that
I love you…
And I am dammed if I do, shame if I don’t…
Yeah I’m forbidden, yes forbidden, I’m forbidden to say
that I love you…
I’m stuck… in a traffic jam...
