This tunes' from One Touch of Venus - Ogden Nash wrote the lyrics - My bad P&S, I'll go change that....YAY! Kurt Weill!!

By the way for all you would-be content creators on YT-I made this segment from a larger upload (complete concert) on YT by grabbing that video with the YTD Video Downloader then used the handy VLC media player record feature (shift+R) to record the segment I wanted from the download-Works dandy and it works for free.

Beautifully irreverent and respectful! Long live Weill and Brecht!

Borrowing generously from Kurt Weill.

-reminiscent of Ute Lemper or Lotte Lenya doing Weill and Brecht.

I'm guessing the poster of this video is calling this song a Doors classic because the second verse was changed from "Show us the way to the next pretty boy" to "Show me the way to the next little girl".

The original song is an all time classic by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, and the writing credit should be theirs.

thats' the second version i ever heard on vinyl
"Lost in the stars"

I agree-ethanol is a goddamn travesty-thank the money-printers(empire), working both sides against the middle-thank the hard-core head-in-ass environmentalists, their rabid lobbying, the media, all complicit-
thank the farmers who are paid to do what they are told.....follow the money, follow the money, follow the money-
Ethanol is a sick, twisted crime against humanity-
Drill for fucking oil, you fucking morons, OR-demand the alternatives from the people that keep them under lock and key to enslave us, and empower themselves-

the reality is this-ethanol makes NO DENT in the world food market-The reason food prices go up and down, and fuel prices go up and down, is because inflation, depression, etc...IS MANIPULATED means of control

How about some Brecht and Weill


What Keeps Mankind Alive?-(1928)

You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that’s where it begins

You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn, for once, the way the world is run
However much you twist or whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those who are now starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving
What keeps mankind alive?

What keeps mankind alive?
The fact that millions are daily tortured
Stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
In keeping its humanity repressed
And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

"Mack the Knife" or "The Ballad of Mack the Knife", originally "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer", is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama Die Dreigroschenoper, or, as it is known in English, The Threepenny Opera. It premiered in Berlin in 1928. The song has become a popular standard.
