Mack the Knife began as “Die Moritat von Mackie Messer” in the 1928 German musical The Threepenny Opera, with music by Kurt Weill and lyrics by Bertolt Brecht. It later became a jazz standard, famously recorded by artists like Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin, and Ella Fitzgerald. The song’s upbeat melody contrasts cleverly with its dark storytelling, making it a standout in both jazz and pop history.
