Originally performed 9 February 1867 at a concert of the Wiener Männergesangsverein (Vienna Men's Choral Association), it has been one of the most consistently popular pieces of music in the classical repertoire. Its initial performance was only a mild success, however, and Strauss is reputed to have said "The devil take the waltz, my only regret is for the coda -- I wish that had been a success!"
The waltz originally had an accompanying song text written by Josef Weyl. Strauss adapted it into a purely orchestral version for the World's Fair in Paris that same year, and it became a great success in this form. The instrumental version is by far the most commonly performed today. An alternate text by Franz von Gernerth, Donau so blau (Danube so blue), is also used on occasion.

The beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
Lightly we breast the Danube's wave,
The Beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
The bubbles are breaking one by one,
And flash with the rainbow's glowing hue,
As merrily, merrily, merily Sings our joyous crew.
On thy glassy tide, lightly now we ride,
Listen to our song of glee,
Ringing voices clear echoed from the shore,
Tell of happy hearts from sorrow free.
Lightly we breast the Danube's wave,
The beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
Lightly we breast the Danube's wave,
The Beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
The bubbles are breaking one by one,
And flash with the rainbow's glowing hue,
As merrily, merrily, merily Sings our joyous crew.
The gentle cloudlets playing,On high in ether straying,
The rosy hues of morning,The tow'ring trees adorning,
Thy placid breast enriching,
With tints and forms bewitching
When moon and stars are beaming,
And thro thy depths are streaming.
Then Lightly we breast the Danube's wave,
The beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
Lightly we breast the Danube's wave,
The Beautiful Danube, clear and blue,
The bubbles are breaking one by one,
And flash with the rainbow's glowing hue,
Thou coronet Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Danube.
Beautiful Danube, Beautiful Danube, clear and blue.

"I'm gonna kill the light so everyone in the city knows how it feels to live in my world. A world without power. A world without mercy. A world without Spider-Man. And everyone will be able to see me for I truly am."
"And who are you?"
"Don't you know? I'm electro."
"Very impressive...electro..."
This piece just reminds of that scene with Dr. Kafka and electro lol.
