Wow! This brings me to Memory Lane. My family listened often to the Threepenny Opera, and I have the record.

And then I -- the only one listening to top pop hits -- know Bobby Darin's version well.

Oh, there's just something about this song. Thanks for the reminder.

Apparently Louis Armstrong couldn't remember all the lyrics when he recorded this - hence the change to "Lotte Lenya" - and Bobby Darin did it the same way.

At least I read that somewhere.

If there is one song I remember from a certain age, Bobby's version is it.

The ease at which he glides around the stage. The very definition of performer.

Another vote of appreciation for the Weill week. Did you ever hear the Red Hot and Blue folks' Weill tribute anthology?
