The songs original title was "Vége a világnak" (End of the world), and was later retitled "Szomorú vasárnap" (Gloomy Sunday).

The legend of "Gloomy Sunday":
"Gloomy Sunday" - nicknamed the "suicide song" - was composed by pianist and composer, Rezso Seress in 1933. The legend behind this song is that if you listen to it, you will soon after commit suicide. This legend gained attention when it began to be connected with a rash of suicides in Hungary. The composer himself, his wife, and hundreds of other people committed suicide soon after listening to this song.
This ultimately led to its banning in 1936.
