That was interesting, I did not know that Kippling was a contributor to that work.

Darin sings "Look out for Miss Lotte Lenya!" Who was that? Kurt Weill's wife who is forever associated with Jenny Diver in "The 3 Penny Opera." She made the film as well in 1930. Her very next film was made 31 years later and she was nominated for an Oscar. Her next film cements her in James Bond lore as Rosa Klebb in "From Russia With Love". Maybe Darin saw her performance. She won the only Tony for an off-Broadway play for a reprise of her Jenny Diver role of 26 years prior.

This question was asked earlier only the other way around. It's good to have a little memory recall.

Louie Armstrong did a good cover of Mack the Knife too. In high school we’d argue which version is better…Satchmo’s or Bobby’s…

I WAS JUST THINKING OF THAT SONG. IM GLAD BOBBY DARIN RECORDED IT. I ALWAYS LOVED THAT SONG. IT HAS SUCH A GOOD RIFF. ANYONE CAN SING ALONG.

The first version I heard of that song, when I was in college, was that of Ella Fitzgerald, and it had me swinging.
