Pirate Jenny (from The Threepenny Opera) sun by Lotte Lenya (who sang the the original German version in the movie back in 1931)



Warning: the dream she describes is more than a bit violent. not *detailed* violence, but...

Interesting side note. When Bobby Darin sang his version of Mack the Knife (Also from The Threepenny Opera) he included her name in the lyrics as one of MacHeath's girlfriends.

Apparently The Threepenny Opera is *very* anti-capitalist. :-)
