I prefer Beyond the Sea, but Mack the Knife is rather good as well.
Have you seen the Kevin Spacey film about Darin? I ended up liking it much more than I thought I would.
It’s what came up on the playlist. I like “Beyond the Sea” as well, but “Mack the Knife” has the nostalgia of the German version (Mackie Messer) being played for us in class when I was taking German in high school.
