Is this the version that was played at the end credits of the film QUIZ SHOW? It sounds like Lyle Lovett doing the vocals. LOVE IT!

@jtcent If you press the tab left of the views the menu pulls down with the info. You guessed right. It is Lovett. Thanks for visiting.

This is a sound that I never tire of. It's a sleepy, haunting lullabye kind of sound. Almost nightmarish. Tom waits is a master of it. Mark Isham captured it here.

@jtcent yes my friend this is the one.

Thank you for finding this. Now I don't have to fast forward to the end of Quiz Show to hear this version. :)

Beautiful, and even if it's not a really literal translation of the original, it really catches the spirit of it and the music and song are excellent!

This is a great version of Moritat. I like the poster too. Is that the front of the sheet music? Where can I get a copy?
