"Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Darin. Darin began as a late 1950's pop rocker and migrated into the big band sound because of his admiration for Frank Sinatra's work. So, for more of that orchestra sound from Darin, listen to "Beyond The Sea."
This song was a very big hit. Many, many people enjoyed it so, Dominika if you are "crazy" for enjoying it, you have lots of company. Myself included!! 😆💛, PJ
I absolutely loved it! 💚
Gorgeous Bobby Darin has many hits you'd like. "Beyond the Sea", "Dream Lover" and " Splish Splash".
Beyond the Sea is my favourite Bobby Darin song.
Mac the Knife is a character from a play, THREE PENNY OPERA. This is why there is levity in the lyrics. It was designed to entertain people with the story. Similar to Jack the Ripper's story.
Everybody loved it, it was a big hit and many singers covered it, like Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and others. All of them were a hit.
It’s the juxtaposition of him singing in this jazzy upbeat fashion while the lyrics are telling the story of murder. It’s absolutely PERFECT!
Andre..your face was a little...concerned & uncomfortable while Domenica's was so joyful! Too cute. You two balance each other out.
I love it too! Great singing and that cadence of the words are awesome! Everyone looked forward to Ed Sullivans show.....real brass playing.
In a weekend visit to my college roommates family in Brooklyn, he introduced me to the jukebox legends Bobby Darin and Dion. My steady diet of hard rock had to make room for the 50s and early 60s stars that influenced all my rockstar heroes. So I have to say, I did learn something useful in my college days.
I agree dear. The song is a masterpiece. Pure tongue in cheek.
Mr. Darin brings that “Swing’ in!
It's "black" comedy. This song was from the Three Penny Opera which I believe was originally in German if I'm not mistaken. Even as a little kid I loved the way this arrangement swings so hard. I used to go to a little place in Venice California called the Cafe 50's and they had a juke box with this song on it and whenever I would go there to eat even if it was in the middle of the night I would always play this song.
This song is from the " Three Penny Opera ' by Kurt Weill . This was the assassin's song from that opera
Darin was what they called at the time a Swinging Cat . Comically this was such a hit in the sixties , as kids we sang and danced around to this 😂 Ella did a cover ,actually many vocalists covered this version of Kurt Weil’s Three Penny Opera. His cover of UP a Lazy River is to me the best ever.
This song was #1 on the charts in America the day I was born in 1959!
“Scooby Doo” I love it. Great reaction.
Great reaction to a great song and singer
A true entertainer. He had it all.
I grew up in the late 50s and early 60s, and I have a massive album collection starting from the late 50s and going through the late 70s. One of my prize albums is Bobby Darin's. "That's All," released in 1959 that contains this song and his hit "Beyond The Sea". On the back of the album is a copy of a telegram from Sammy Davis Jr. to Bobby Darin congratulating him on the release of his new album. The album is in new condition and sounds great and is a piece of history along with many of the others in my lifelong collection.
Swing. The big band sound. A prime example. Bobby Darin & Mac The Knife.
HUGE #1 Song in 1959. ❤❤❤
He was one of the last Great Crooners! 😎👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Saw "Three Penny Opera" at the Lincoln Center in '76 with Raul Julia & Patti LuPone. First performed in '39 with Lotte Lenya.
Another brilliant version is Ella Fitzgerald's M'ack The Knife' (Live In Berlin/1960).Yummie :)
Great song, and he sings it so so well!!😁🇬🇧
One of my favorite oldies! So gangsta!
Scooby...🤣🤣 Great video, thanks! ☮💜🎶
The swing, the swagger, the style, the class.
Love that musical Three Penny Opera, lots of great songs. Cute doggo behind you, making a brief appearance lol.
What a delightful couple you are. Regardless of the song you react to, your personalities are always worth tuning into. Thank you and thank you to your parents for bringing you into the world.
Oh, thank you so much for your beautiful words. We are happy to know you enjoy watching us. Lots of love from Romania 💚☺️
@@MerchantOfAlba Indeed. For me it is more about watching your interaction than your reaction to the songs. Peace be with you both, now and always. Ah Romania. Greetings from Bali, Indonesia
Maybe his biggest hit., very good songs. Great voice was being groomed for the next Sinatra. Sadly died at age 37 after heart surgery. Many very good songs. Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover(my favorite), If I were a Carpenter, Things and more . Thankfully inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, he deserved such.
If you ever watched "Finding Nemo" then you should be familiar with the song "Beyond the Sea" sung by Bobby Darin. It's the song played during the closing credits. A great talent gone too soon - died at the age of 37.
His "Simple Song of Freedom" - is iconic and applies to the world today
His cover of If I were a carpenter is the best .
Live version is outstanding also
I’m the same, I have loved crime drama since I was 12. I even wanted to be a crime scene investigator. 🔍🕵️♀️. And this has always been a favorite 🎶 of mine. It came out the same year I did. 😁
i love your reactions so much
I too am fascinated by True Crime so I understand what you're saying.
You two are sooooo fun to watch! Thanks for the reaction and commentary. If you want another song that has a great catchy sound but is about a really dark subject, try "Timothy" by the Buoys.. I was on a long car trip with my wife and after hearing it on our CD player for the 2nd time but not paying attention to the lyrics, I said that I really liked it and she responded - "You do realize it is about c a nn ib al ism, right? WHATTTTT? lol
This is a (very good) cover of “Die Möritat von Mackie Messer”, one of the musical numbers of the play “Die Dreigroschenoper”, premiered in 1928 in Berlin with music by Kurt Weil and lyrics by Berthold Brecht.
Bobby Darrin was a was a great singer. He was very talented and a great showman. He had several hits in the 50’s and sixties, Splish Splash, Beyond The Sea, Dream Lover, just to mention a few!
Written in 1928 by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. Louis Armstrong recorded a popular version in 1955, and the famous German singer Lotte Lenya - Kurt Weill's widow - was present in the studio at that recording, prompting Louis to add her name to the lyrics. Bobby used essentially the same arrangement as Louis, keeping the shout-out to Lenya as well in tribute.
I was in a production of The Threepenny Opera in college, and Weill used the names of the characters and the actors playing them in this song. Lotte Lenya, by the way, was not only in the original stage production in Germany, but later played a villain in the James Bond film From Russia With Love.
Mack the knife would’ve got away with it, if it wasn’t for those pesky kids! 😂❤
😆
Wow that was unexpected!!! I really love Bobby Darrin, what a great songs and his voice is amazing. he's probably the only one i listen to from the 50's and the early 60s music.
I love the weirdness. The music flows over your soul. Your smile is the key.😊
We all loved Bobby! He had style! Yes, "Beyond The Sea" would be a great next choice. BTW I am also obsessed with true crime stories, and serial killers in particular. I'm always fascinated and wonder what it is in someone's mind that could make them that cruel
Check out Bobby's "Happy" a very bittersweet song. One of his last before he passed.
You should checkout Bobby singing If I Was A Carpenter from the Midnight Special show. Blows me away everytime I see that performance..
That whole performance was outstanding!
Please check out ‘Bobby Darin “If I Were A Carpenter” Live 1973’. Stunning performance.
The most fun & happy song about a serial killer, ever! 😅 This was a huge hit, Dominika, so you're not the only one who loves it. 😉 Oh, and my mom is a sweet lady like you, and she loves watching true crime stories, too!
Other great songs by Bobby Darin: "Splish Splash," "Beyond The Sea," and "Dream Lover." Please check them out!
Warm wishes to your mum 😊 Thank you 💚
Smooth! Bobby delivers a song about murder that takes the story to a whole new level!
Bobby Darin started his career as a songwriter for "Connie Francis". He was a singer, musician & actor. He performed all styles of music such as jazz, pop, rock & roll, folk, swing, & country music. He had many hits from the late 50's-60's such as "Splish Splash", "Dream Lover", "Things", "You're The Reason I'm Living", "18 Yellow Roses", "If I Were A Carpenter" etc. Darin married actress Sandra Dee in 1960 whom he met while filming the movie "Come September". Darin suffered from poor health his entire life & died in 1973 at the age of only 37.
I have always lived this song too. The music and the style, Rhythm and beat are fantastic. The lyrics could be just about anything that pops into ones head and I would live it.
I go along with everything she says!!
Yes, the content is macabre but it has a swinging beat😅😊❤
My brother's party piece. It's a great song. If you like this try Louis Prima - anything by him. "Angelina" is
upbeat and fun.
It's an up-beat tune for lyrics about the old crime families. He's a good singer.
:) what a fun video!
And gawd bless him too!!
Mafia guys loved this song, too...they probably all had a "Mackie" on thier payroll..
It's classic theater -- written by Kurt Weill (music) and Bertolt Brecht (lyrics) opened this in 1928 in Berlin -- from an 18th century London operetta called THE BEGGAR'S OPERA. He mentions the original Jenny in the 1928 cast, Lotte Lenya, a very famous German actress -- you might remember her as Kleb from the Bond pic FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, released a couple of years after this Ed Sullivan Show. It's very tongue in cheek -- the modern German piece was very consciously a work of Marxian critique of capitalist culture, but it had this one song that made Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, both of whom came to America when Hitler rose to power in 1933, very wealthy men. The irony is all so deep, you can cut it with a KNIFE. You two are so adorable and funny though -- Andre is such a pure and innocent soul and Domenica is such an old soul who has a deeper understanding of the darkness in every human heart and in the human condition. You do balance each other perfectly -- and very humorously -- reminds me very much of a Pisces-Scorpio or Neptune-Pluto interchange.
you should check out his rendition of Happy.
This song is really about a hit man
Watch for the movie , CAPT. NEWMAN M.D., in which Bobby Darin played an airman who survived a crash . His performance should have won an Oscar .
Song from play Three Penny Opera!
I'm with you Dominica, It is not about mindless yob violence, the song is about someone who lives and operates in the 'underworld', mafia, gangster world. But would help an old lady cross the road. My favourite song for over 50yrs.
This is sung in the voice of the crime boss or someone high up in the game. His nonchalant and even jubilant sound is because he has a sense of entitlement, and he will be getting a large reward for his dubious deed. However he is basically "whistling past the graveyard".
Guy in school always called me mack the knife, no bad intent.
A happy song about a serial killer 😆
Great song, great singer ❤😊. He was a great actor too. So sad he died young. I love Frank Sinatra, but for me, Bobby Darrin had the edge. Listen to his rendition of Hello Dolly and also Dream Lover.
Love Bobby Darin, so talented, he could sing, act, dance do impressons. He did die too young (37). I think even Frank said Bobby's version was the best. I never cared for Frank's version. although I like many of Frank's songs. However, the version by Ella Fitzgerald is also great.
The Beatles did a song about a killer, performed in a lilting tune, titled Maxwell Silver Hammer.
Yes--my other favorite serial killer song! 😂
Oh, i need to check it out 😁
I love crime shows too!😮
Dominique, this song puts the action he sings about, in a funny paper, cartoon kind of frame of mind. Think Dick Tracy!!
I like listening to true crime too so I understand. The psychology fascinates me.
Apparently, he was looking for a stage name and saw a MANDARIN restaurant sign with the MAN part burnt out, and ejaculated "Darin! That shall be my new name!" And lo, he became Bobby Mandarin, rather Bobby Darin. Always darin' to sing the killer songs.
Ella Fitzgerald also did a version of this. That is the first one I remember listening to. Since I'm a fan of both can say who does it best, they are different, but equally masterful.
Fun fact. "Five will get you ten" refers to betting odds. He's saying we'll make a bet, and if he wins I will pay him 5, but if I win, he'll pay me 10. In other words 2:1 (2 to 1) odds. He's saying he's very sure of his position.
Once this tune gets into your head, it takes months to remove the ear wig.!
🇬🇧 Im with you Dominka, i love crime documentaries.
This was a HUGE hit for Bobby. Other hits include "Beyond The Sea" "Dream Lover" & "Splish Splash". Hope you get back to BD soon. ❤🎼🎶
I watch crime documentary too it’s interesting how they solve them even after many years
Yes! Exactly! 💚
😂Don’t feel bad, Domenica, I’m exactly the SAME… I watch true crime shows all the time. (My husband always says he’s worried when he comes home to find me watching a show about wives killing their husbands.😂)
I think it is the psychology behind it all that we find fascinating.
Lotte Lenya, the original star of “The Three Penny pets”.
I love your reactions and how you traverse a wide range of music. If you ever get a chance, give the group 'UPO' a listen. They are a little known grunge band from the late 90's. "Godless" or "Free" are two great tracks, studio versions.
This is about a killer named Mac
Bobby Darin passed away December 20, 1973 at the age of 37.
Don’t worry about liking the song. It is good story telling. Another popular song is ‘Aqualung’, or ‘Janie’s Got a Gun’
Something rare about this song is how much influenced the music history, the song about some Kind of Jack the ripper; has a salsa version, that doesnt say the same but coincides on the same points With this song, the salsa song called Pedro Navajas also sound similar but diferent, i cant explain, can u react to Pedro Navajas and make your own conclussions
My Mother’s Favourite❤❤❤I had 🤷♀️ idea Jack the Ripper?😮
The song is about the character, not the crime.
Daminka! A CSI nerd! Who knew!❤❤❤😂
😁
What's your doggo's 🐕 name, he was grooving to it too.
Arnold 🐶 He usually sleeps through our recordings, but clearly song moved him as well ☺️💚
First record I ever bought
The song just sounds great?
Maffia anthem.
What could be better than the combination of the best vocals in the world and the best soundtracks in the world of cinema in a great show!?
Please react to a grandiose performance (very big show, more than 100 musicians on stage) - Diana Ankudinova. Art of Hans Zimmer Soundtrack from the movie Dune

Diana's adoptive family took part in the video clip.
We are waiting for your reactions to Diana, Diana has many new releases in the pipeline.
React to Splish Splash and Dream Lover by Bobby Darin
You should listen to Big Mable Murphy by Dallas Frasier you will love it
I much prefer Louis Armstrong's version from a few years earlier (1955), for me it makes this version feel very tame.
U can't sing or listen to this song unless U R prepared to do the "Shark." U put your horizontal hand, thumb up (the "fin") in front of the right side of your chest. As you slowly have the shark swim to the other side, snap your top 2 fingers onto the bottom fingers in time with the song. If you fail to perform this ritual, well you're on your own.
Saw Steve Martin do this in concert in college. Told my mother how funny it was, and she said "You do know that's a real song, don't you?" (I didn't.)
MJ's idol very similar.
Great Reaction, However Treat Yourselves And Check Out Frank Sinatra And Quincy Jones (1984) Live Version.
Scooby Doo where are you?
