Mack the Knife was written by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, in 1928 for their music drama The Threepenny Opera. Originally written in German as a moritat for the character Macheath, it has since become a standard of both cabaret and jazz repertoire. The song has been recorded by many artists, including Louis Armstrong and Bobby Darin, and is often cited as one of the most frequently covered songs in popular music history.
