Right band, wrong song.
Correct!

[martial_lore]

yeah, I had to sing it to myself, so I obviously got confused :P

[slothphil]

There was, once upon a time, a KAOS variant of that -- "Everywhere you go, always take a weapon with you..."

People still sing on the dancefloor, but no one seems to invent new words for the music any more.

12) Mac the Knife, guessing artist is quite hard, I'll say Louis Armstrong as his version is amongst the most well known.

[loremistress]

Mack the Knife, yes. However, neither of the two versions that I have of the song are by Louis Armstrong.

[loremistress]

Sorry, three versions.

[anarchangel23]

Louis Armstrong's version starts "Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear".
I thought that was the original so I did some poking and was intrigued to find that it was translated from a Brecht musical drama, cool!
