I did it for the German challenge on UU. It was a toss up between Mack the knife and another Kurt Weill song "take me to the next whisky bar"

The Doors covered it in the 60's

[deach69]

Love your reggae take on this.

[weegingayin]

Well if you click on the Threepenny Opera link in the sidebar I think that you will find conclusive proof that Reggae was invented in 1928 in Germany by Kurt Weill:-)

[russbuss415]

interesting take. enjoyed it much!

[weegingayin]

Lots of people have recorded this song but I think Nick Cave did a version that was lyrically close to the german original (see the sidebar for a link to his performance.) Sting also did a creditable rendition

The 50's versions from America were sanatized and the Bobby Darin version was basically big band swing

[YoppyKyabetsu]

And a bit of Leon Redbone to boot. Beautiful.

[weegingayin]

Yeah thanks very much for the heads up on Leon,  I dug around and found "Big bad Bill is sweet William now"

What a relaxed easy going style. If he was any more laid-back he would be asleep
