At the bottom of Pitch Black Lake, Mak the Knife is waiting for you. This Pira’Nya might be able to help you get into the Pyramid of Mother Moon if you can earn his respect first. He also needs some sea cucumbers for his salad.
“Mack the Knife” or “The Ballad of Mack the Knife” (German: “Die Moritat von Mackie Messer”) is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their 1928 music drama The Threepenny Opera (German: Die Dreigroschenoper). The song sings about a knife-wielding criminal of the London underworld from the musical named Macheath, the “Mack the Knife” of the title.
The song has become a popular standard recorded by many artists after it was recorded by Louis Armstrong in 1955. The most popular version of the song was by Bobby Darin in 1959, whose recording became a number one hit in the US and UK and earned him two Grammys. Ella Fitzgerald also received a Grammy for her performance of the song in 1961.
