Weill give your work away I'm gonna be the star Oh don't ask why Oh don't ask why and Eli must obey to Brecht, the only star For if you don't obey and make me a big star I tell you I must die I tell you I must die I tell you I tell you I tell you I must die Oh cave of Eli-baba I found a true gold mine I've got a Hauptma-mama It won't be risky Oh, you know why!
Fome. Claro que los alemanes deben considerarla una pieza brillante. Con el complejo que los persigue , basta que un judío se tire un peo para que lo consideren una obra maestra
I just don't understand, why they have to find the next little boy, what is it , some kind of fraise? I simply refuse to believe they are serial killers 😂
Me encanta esta versión original de esta canción, realizada por sus creadores Kurt Weill y su mujer Lotte Lenya que sobrevivieron al nazismo trasladándose a los Estados Unidos de América .
Soo, when The Doors covered this song, it was 37 years old. And it’s been 56 years since The Doors covered it. Craaazy. I bet, it felt to Jim Morrison that it was a looong time ago and it feels less so when looking at 1967. I guess it shows how much the world has been through in the 30s and 40s, ending an era a starting a new one. It’s similar to the fact that we’re right now closer to the Roman Era than the Romans were to the Eygptian Civilizaton that built the pyramids.
Wunderbar! Wir haben die Dreigroschenoper gerade in einer Inzenierung in Meiningen gesehen: sie hätten sich mal lieber erst mal diese Aufnahme anhören sollen, um zu wissen, wie sie klingen soll. Der Text war da leider meist nicht zu verstehen, das Orchester war durchweg zu laut, und oft nicht mit den Schauspielern zusammen.So schade!
This just oozes Weimar Republic degeneracy and the push in all forms of media, art and culture towards "Modernism / Expressionism". It's just the type of stuff that Hitler purged when he came to power 3 years later.
BTW, if you can"t stand the full extent of the horror of 20s Germany and want to get to the (imagined by Weill and Kaiser) happy bit, - "um uns zu locken?"- when the sun comes out, it starts at 1:41. Gets me every time... "Alles was ist, ist Beginnen und verliert sich hinter der Zeit..."
