Yeah, when I hear it I picture him dancing on the Gong Show.

I'm surprised that Chuck Barris ain't singing it himself!

Chuck Barris is probably one of the most intriguing people of the Twentieth Century...

Game Show Producer (The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game)
MC
Songwriter
Secret Agent

What a full life he had!

Most people think The Dating Game opening theme was played by Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass. But it was played by The Mariachi Brass


The Dating Game theme song

Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass did play the bachelor intro, Spanish Flea...

I only recently discovered Vashti Bunyan...can't believe it took me this long!


Vashti (Bunyan) - I Want To Be Alone

And Lotte Lenya, I first heard about her in Just Kids by Patti Smith.


Lotte Lenya canta "Mack the Knife", de Kurt Weill i Bertolt Brecht, a Monitor (1962)

A Lotte Lenya record can be seen on the cover for Bringing It All Back Home. Can you spot it?

Look out Miss Lotte Lenya!


Mackie Messer Lotte Lenya

Die Dreigroschenoper

Die Moritat von Mackie Messer
Kurt Weill, Bertholdt Brecht, 1928

Und der Haifisch, der hat Zähne
und die trägt er im Gesicht
und Macheath, der hat ein Messer
doch das Messer sieht man nicht.

Ach, es sind des Haifischs Flossen
rot, wenn dieser Blut vergießt.
Mackie Messer trägt 'nen Handschuh
drauf man keine Untat liest.

An 'nem schönen blauen Sonntag
liegt ein toter Mann am Strand
und ein Mensch geht um die Ecke
den man Mackie Messer nennt.

Und Schmul Meier bleibt verschwunden
und so mancher reiche Mann
und sein Geld hat Mackie Messer
dem man nichts beweisen kann.

Jenny Towler ward gefunden
mit 'nem Messer in der Brust
und am Kai geht Mackie Messer
der von allem nichts gewußt.

Und das große Feuer in Soho
sieben Kinder und ein Greis -
in der Menge Mackie Messer, den
man nicht fragt und der nichts weiss.

Und die minderjährige Witwe
deren Namen jeder weiss
wachte auf und war geschändet -
Mackie, welches war dein Preis?
Wachte auf und war geschändet -
Mackie, welches war dein Preis?

Now you can learn a little German.

Lotte Lenya played Colonel Rosa Klebb in From Russia With Love. And she was MEAN!

Here she's trying to kill James Bond with a poison-tipped knife in the toe of her shoe...

I haven't seen that movie yet! My Dad is a big Bond fan and always made me watch different scenes as a kid...unfortunetly I was more interested in dolls and dinosaurs

I must see From Russia With Love, however. Maybe I'll become a Bond obsessive

You just might. It's easy to do. It happened to me the first time he was seen on screen in Dr. No...

Dr No Casino Scene (The video's owner prevents external embedding)

Hello Goodbye · « **Reply #10374 on:** December 29, 2011, 11:21:24 PM »

Now be careful with Dr. No In the first Bond movie, James Bond was portrayed the way he was in Ian Fleming's novels, a ruthless killer...


... and you've had your six...

His persona was tamed somewhat in subsequent films.

You're welcome. Thanks for posting Bobby Darin's version

Louis Armstrong did a really good job as well:


Louis Armstrong "Mack The Knife" 1970

One of the best voices of all time, I say!

Here he is again! I couldn't resist, he's absolutely magnificent!
