1989 - Sting made his stage debut at the Threepenny Opera in Washington, DC. The production was panned by the critics.#dapimusic #mymusichangout #musicaltheatre #sting #thethreepennyopera #onthisday #onthisdate

#dzisiajgramy : *Sting*czyli lecimy po kolejnych wydaniach Listy Przebojów Trójki. Dziś notowanie nr 214, jest kwiecień 1986 roku.Na miejscu 40 nowość - *Sting* śpiewa Brechta.To, jak śpiewa, było przedmiotem dyskusji, ale ostatecznie balladę o rekinach w oceanie śpiewali wszyscy, to i Sting może....A piosenka była na naszej liście 9 tygodni.Nawiasem mówiąc, śpiewa w przekładzie "nowszym", z 1976 roku, gdzie szło to tak:*See the shark with teeth like razors**All can read his open face**And Macheath has got a knife, but**Not in such an obvious place*

Ma version préférée de Mack the Knife sur un album que j'ai adoré, mais j'ai perdu la cassette... My favorite version of Mack the Knife, I loved the album Lost in the Stars, but had it on a tape lost long ago...

Sting doesn't sing this in the Broadway show. He got the role of Mack the Knife in the Broadway show because of this recording which is from the album "Lost in the Stars - The Music of Kurt Weill". Of course this is sung by the narrator, not by Mack. Sting is a singer, not an actor, and totally blew the role, probably the main reason the 1989 show was a total flop on Broadway.

@notleonard It would be interesting to hear the tune inflected with rhythms from Mexico and Latin America instead of what now sounds to us like sanitized jazz. There might be a more honest and dangerous American analogy in an allusion to the pachuco/chicano sub-culture of the 30s, 40s and 50s in California.

I didn't see the NYC production, but it's always seemed to me that transplanting Mackie Messer to Harlem (musically, and therefore dramatically) violated what the play is actually doing and what makes it a compelling work of art. After all, it's *already* a transplant. I saw a production in Edinburgh years ago which also lost the swing tempo and the ghetto-glory, and the effect was devastating and transgressive. Sorry to hear from some folks that hearing it from Sting that way felt cheap.

I think this is great. If you want to know why he sings it this way, listen to the original German version from the 1931 film.

Saw this production in '89. Sting was bad. I mean bad. Limp as wet toast. He had zero stage presence and sang barely audibly. The translation of Brecht's lyric is good, but Sting was just horrible.

@C4lipp0 - And this version is from the album "Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill", which came out around 1987

@msmousette I second this contributor's opinion wholeheartedly and from an apparently similar pro. angle. This is NOT a voice.....it's a ghastly parody of such, utterly devoid of ANY charm or interest. This is the voice of the drunk you [the band] humour on a Sat. eve. in the working men's club. The 'backing' is novel & the 'piece' is superb though. Catch Pops Armstrong & all will be revealed!

Yes, saw this on Broadway. Excellent.

Of all the many versions of this song on YouTube, this has to be the most dire rendition imaginable! From a professional, anyway. My ears hurt! If anyone thinks this is good - it's the song that's good, not this version. Search for the others and discover the many ways that it can sound sooooooo much better than this.

I saw him perform this on Broadway. He was excellent.

@cub68134 : I thought Sting was Scottish.

Nick Cave does a pretty good version also.
