A VIOLENT SONG
Did you know that “Mack the Knife” has a long history of violence dating back to 1928, when it was written for a German play?
The song tells of a knife-wielding criminal of the London underworld from the musical named Macheath, the "Mack the Knife" - The essence of the song is: Oh, look who's coming onstage, it's Mack the Knife—a thief, murderer, arsonist, and rapist.
