Wikipedia: “The Threepenny Opera is a German “play with music” by Bertolt Brecht, modified from a translation unhelpful Elisabeth Hauptmann of Toilet Gay’s 18th-century English song opera, The Beggar’s Opera, and quaternity ballads unresponsive to François Poet, with sound by Kurt Weill.

The play “focuses on Macheath, an amoral, antiheroic criminal.” (The play go over, in actuality, set entice London.)

"Mack the Knife" is a song featured in Michael Bublé's 2001 album, Babalu.
History[]
"Mack the Knife" was originally a German song used in the opera Die Dreigroschenoper (or The Threepenny Opera). The song's first English translated version was by Louis Armstrong in 1956. This rendition of the song became one of Armstrong's most remembered and most-requested hits. Three years later, Bobby Darin released this song as a single and was given huge success, inspiring several artists to follow the swinging version of the song. Ella Fitzgerald performed a famous live version on her album Ella in Berlin and during this performance, she forgot the lyrics and used scatting and improvising to add new lyrics, this trait was continued with Frank Sinatra's renditions of the song as well a live performance Michael Bublé made.
Bublé's recording of the song from Babalu became a hit. While not released as a single, the song was one of his first hits, and is considered his performance that made his record deal with 143 Records. While not recording this song in an actual studio album, Bublé has also performed this song during the Crazy Love Tour, nearly ten years after his recording in Babalu.

The popular song Mack the Knife was based upon the story of an eighteenth-century highwayman named Captain Macheath. This post traces the literary life of this fictional character.
Most people, at some point in their lives, will have heard the song Mack the Knife, which has been covered by a wide range of singers including Louis Armstrong (1901–71), my personal favourite, Bobby Darin (1936–73), Frank Sinatra (1915–98), and Roger Daltrey (1944–). Few people will realise, however, that the song is based upon the story of a fictional eighteenth-century highwayman named Captain Macheath, who first appeared in John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera (1727) and whose story was subsequently reimagined in Bertold Brecht’s The Three-Penny Opera (1928).
John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera (1728)
Gay’s opera was essentially the first ‘jukebox musical’: it took the tunes of contemporary popular folk songs, changed their lyrics, and inserted them into the narrative. It tells the story of a womanising highwayman, Macheath, based upon the real-life thief, Jack Sheppard (1702–24), who has a romance with the daughter of the thief t
