"Lisztomania" is a song by the French band Phoenix from their fourth album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It is their second single from the album, although a music video of the song was released before "1901". The music video shows them walking around Bayreuth, Germany, inside and outside the Franz Liszt Museum, Wahnfried, the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, sitting inside the Festspiel Theatre, performing live and going outside to find a blimp like the one shown on the album cover. The song helped the album to be their most successful following their previous hit, "1901".

It peaked at #11 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart in the US^[1] and as well as #15 in Belgium.^[2] Phoenix released a remix edition of the album later in 2009, with two of the tracks being "Lisztomania" remixes by Alex Metric and 25 Hrs a Day. The song came in at #4 in the Triple J Hottest 100, 2009,^[3] making Phoenix the first French band to finish in the top 5 of the Hottest 100.
