I like the Nina Simone version better, she sounded more psycho and demented.

@upupaepops1988 I'm not much a German speaker so I can't be sure it's what I should be hearing, but my impression is that pattern gives it a kind of manic feel that fits quite well with the content. I'd guess it's intentional.

This movie by Georg W. Pabst, although has differences from the stage musical, gives us the most closely related and reliable picture of the performing style and mood of the original 1928 stage performance.
The disconnect between her sweet high voice and the song's subject matter is really disconcerting.
