I think this is the first time I ever heard this sung in English without becoming a travesty of the masterful original.
Of course, people who grow up on Jello® never grow the teeth to cope with anything else.

Lotte Lenya, the composer's wife, sang this with an even more pronounced vibrato than Lemper is putting forth here. Since Kurt explained that Lotte's raspy, wavering voice was what he heard in his head when writing his songs, I'm sure he both wanted and expected them to be performed with an "inapproprate" vibrato. Ute performs this in a totally different manner -- and AUF DEUTSCH -- on her 1980s Weill CD, so it's obvious that emulating Lenya isn't her only strategy for performing such music.

@YouMooks In my opinion, Elle Fitzgerald sang it best with Duke Ellington. And she sings it great in German, as "Mack the Knife" originally is a German song from a German musical.

Should check out Vikesh Kapoor's version. It's a sweet-sounding, warbly version that doesn't sound particularly dangerous... But I like it.
