The Doors originally covered it at Dorothy Manzarek's suggestion. She had the album recorded in 1930 by Lottie Lenya, written by Btecht & Weill. Robby and John thought it crazy to record an "oom pah" song. When The Doors played Europe, this was not well received. It was considered to be a Nazi song.
After The Doors covered this song, most thought it to be a Doors original. It should be noted. that the original verse was ommited altogether. The character that sang this song was a prostitute. Morrison also changed "Show me the way to the next pretty boy" to "next little girl" To the best of my knowledge, I believe it was only at The Matrix that he sang."pretty boy" Many bands have since covered it, thinking just that it was a Doors song. Bette Midler, David Bowie, Nina Simone, Marianne Faithfull, David Johansen (N.Y. Dolls) did to name just a few.
The audience that considered it to be a Nazi song were misinformed! It was written by Kurt Weill, who was Jewish, and the Nazis considered his work degenerate. There was a riot from Nazi sympathizers at the opera's 1930 premiere in Leipzig!
This song makes me so happy. Manson's vocal's are legit. It's so bizarrely cherry and so weirdly perverted, and being over-dramatic at the same time. I love his solo Burlesque performances, he should have done more.
Great twisted version of an old song. It's so goth that even the goth kids don't fully get it. Most of you people just don't understand the artistic value of imitation through admiration. Look at history. We're all just rehashing cave art in more modern ways.
Sorry people but the Door's song is also a cover. 'Alabama song' or 'whisky bar' or 'Moon of Alabama' is a song by Bertolt Brech and Kurt Weill from is play Mahagonny. David Bowie also did a cover of this song.
to all the comments here...this song is NOT from the Doors ! Also David Bowie have sing it...and a lot of others...This song is from Kurt Weil and Berthold Brecht !
It's the doors. He was obsessed with them. If it wasn't for the doors he wouldn't be who he was the doors made him insane and look and be the way he is.
Yes the doors didnt orignally do it. But everyone knows the doors version. The original was an old obscure song that no one really knew about even in the 60s, let alone today. This is clearly a horrendous cover of the doors version.
I absolutely love this. Seeing MM do a solo using his best voice with an unusual song is great. Are there any more videos where he does this kind of thing? It makes me feel like he could've played the emcee in "Cabaret!"
Golden Age Of Grotesque is a album who takes insperation from 30´s Berlin and Hollywood. So to do this songs like in the 30´s burlesque style is amazing to hear and see.
LoI really appreciate and like Marilyn Manson's music, I remember when he came out when he really popped off when I was in middle school, only one guy liked him, Quentin L., Quentin used to throw a book bag with 7 classes worth of textbooks around his neck backwards and spin it, I remember one day helping him untangle it one day at the last second before he went out, it was a close one, here's an interesting, Quentin graduated salutatorian in our class of 03'. He had raised himself from age 14 after losing his mother very young to cancer and emancipating from his father's care from what I remember. Quentin was/is an example you can overcome about any circumstance in life with perseverance. Hope you're doing well Quentin if you ever read this.
The Doors' version was also a cover! This song was written by Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weil in 1927! Marilyn Manson is actually much closer to the stage version, so obviously Manson is not trying to cover Jim Morrison's version!
actually lyrics are from Bertold Brecht, music is from Kurt Weill for their opera 'Mahagony' btw: Mack the knfe is from them too, it's in Threepenny Opera
That would be unreal being there, that tour and all, it would be like being in another time and place. Not to mention the out of it types you'd get there - Berlin particularly.
It's not a Doors cover, it's a song by Kurt Weill and anyone familiar with the interbellum period will tell you Manson's rendition is closer to the spirit of the original. It's noteworthy that Jim Morrison only used "little girls" in the second verse, although both genders get their share in the original lyrics.
I think it's an interesting take on this song. by the way this song was not written by the doors. It was originally published in Bertolt Brecht's Hauspostille (1927). It was set to music by Kurt Weill.
Well, show me the way To the next whiskey bar Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why Show me the way To the next whiskey bar Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why For if we don't find The next whiskey bar I tell you we must die I tell you we must die I tell you, I tell you I tell you we must die Oh, moon of Alabama We now must say goodbye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey, oh, you know why Oh, moon of Alabama We now must say goodbye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey, oh, you know why Well, show me the way To the next little girl Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why Show me the way To the next little boy Oh, don't ask why Oh, don't ask why For if we don't find The next little girl I tell you we must die I tell you we must die I tell you, I tell you I tell you we must die Oh, moon of Alabama We now must say goodbye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey, oh, you know why Oh, moon of Alabama We now must say goodbye We've lost our good old mama And must have whiskey, oh, you know why Bueno, enséñame el camino Al siguiente bar de whisky Oh, no preguntes por qué Oh, no preguntes por qué Muéstrame el camino Al siguiente bar de whisky Oh, no preguntes por qué Oh, no preguntes por qué Porque si no encontramos El próximo bar de whisky Te digo que debemos morir Te digo que debemos morir Te digo, te digo te digo que debemos morir Oh, luna de Alabama Ahora debemos despedirnos Hemos perdido a nuestra buena vieja mamá Y debe tener whisky, oh, ya sabes por qué Oh, luna de Alabama Ahora debemos despedirnos Hemos perdido a nuestra buena vieja mamá Y debe tener whisky, oh, ya sabes por qué Bueno, enséñame el camino Por la próxima niña Oh, no preguntes por qué Oh, no preguntes por qué Muéstrame el camino Por el próximo niño Oh, no preguntes por qué Oh, no preguntes por qué Porque si no encontramos La próxima niña Te digo que debemos morir Te digo que debemos morir Te digo, te digo te digo que debemos morir Oh, luna de Alabama Ahora debemos despedirnos Hemos perdido a nuestra buena vieja mamá Y debe tener whisky, oh, ya sabes por qué Oh, luna de Alabama Ahora debemos despedirnos Hemos perdido a nuestra buena vieja mamá Y debe tener whisky, oh, ya sabes por qué
his voice has deteriated from the abuse he has put it through from screaming it comes out when he when he tries to sing. still. manson is awsome got to love him
The Doors' version was also a cover! This comes from the Brecht/Weil play "The Threepenny Opera," and it was originally sung, I think, by Lotte Lenya. Marilyn Manson is actually much closer to the original, so obviously Manson is not trying to cover Jim Morrison's version, but rather the Lotte Lenya version!
A bit late to the party...but I’m seeing a bunch of whiners about who wrote what, and who performed it first. Why don’t all of you stop bickering and start listening to the greatest and most creative American musician of the last 60 years? Tom Waits created every aspect of Manson and crushes Morrison in poetry (even I hate to admit it). I’m sure there will be haters who praise Morrison as the Poetic God...but they don’t even know Waits.
@Baphomet417 - Nice to see someone clued in. Written by Kurt Weill, from The Threepenny Opera. That's why MM says "This is a little one for Berlin." It's where Weill's from.
sometimes it just reminds you that manson actually has a lovely voice... specially when it sort of cracks...eg: 0:56 - 1:10 i like this song because it reminds me of old ballet practise, or circus :) i like it that its creepy because he puts a different spin on it :D
Alabama Song is not a song by Morrison. M. Manson is actually covering Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, who made this song in 1927. I even think that Manson is singing the original lyrics.
Anyone who likes Jim Morrison and The Doors is a friend of mine. I would've loved to have seen a conversation between Morrison, Marilyn Manson, and so many others. Carl Sagan fits into what I'm thinking about. There are so many in our past that were far beyond their time. Death f'n sucks, but it establishes a legacy. It's weird, I understand.
A lot of people think this song was originally by the Doors, but it was written by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in 1929. He's singing it close to the way it was originally performed.

I was 3 years old when that happened :,(
Here's the 1930's version and the stage play version ruclips.net/video/Yi-hEFKs9gk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/EGUjGPrfA6U/видео.html
The audience that considered it to be a Nazi song were misinformed! It was written by Kurt Weill, who was Jewish, and the Nazis considered his work degenerate. There was a riot from Nazi sympathizers at the opera's 1930 premiere in Leipzig!
The best part of being a manson fan on RUclips you see the same few people on each video
Hello friend
Same “plants”
True
Haha yup
🖤😇🖤
This song makes me so happy. Manson's vocal's are legit. It's so bizarrely cherry and so weirdly perverted, and being over-dramatic at the same time. I love his solo Burlesque performances, he should have done more.
Wish he still sung like this
Io adoro la sua VOCE nn adoro testi di Altri con la sua VOCE.desidero le sue parole o testi mm mi colpisce con i testi e nn tolgo niente per la musica
It's PERFECT!!! I love this GUY... His voice is something unbelieveable. I wanna see him in a musical!
Marylin Manson is beautiful
Great twisted version of an old song. It's so goth that even the goth kids don't fully get it.
Most of you people just don't understand the artistic value of imitation through admiration. Look at history. We're all just rehashing cave art in more modern ways.
Manson cabaret voltaire 😎🤘
When he say "You know why?" 😱😍😍
Are you 6 years old?
@@cannibalsuperstar6081 What the fuck is your problem
He was so bloody beautiful
Marylin Manson is the best
His voice omg 😍
"oh don't ask why" hhshshshh i love it
not trying to be an asshat here but I didnt like it that much, to each their own though
Lol what, it sucked, compared to Morrison it's painful to listen to (and look at really..)
Sorry people but the Door's song is also a cover. 'Alabama song' or 'whisky bar' or 'Moon of Alabama' is a song by Bertolt Brech and Kurt Weill from is play Mahagonny. David Bowie also did a cover of this song.
I LOVE both of these bands, good shit Manson, what a twist!
Fantastic MM !
simplemente el mejor
to all the comments here...this song is NOT from the Doors ! Also David Bowie have sing it...and a lot of others...This song is from Kurt Weil and Berthold Brecht !
no its the doors or the doors covered it NAW JIMBOE DID IT!
Will you post the original please? I would love to hear it. 😄
austin miller Just search Bertold Brecht Alabama Song and it should come up with some theatre recordings
It's the doors. He was obsessed with them. If it wasn't for the doors he wouldn't be who he was the doors made him insane and look and be the way he is.
Yes the doors didnt orignally do it. But everyone knows the doors version. The original was an old obscure song that no one really knew about even in the 60s, let alone today. This is clearly a horrendous cover of the doors version.
I love him so much💕
He makes me so happy
Love him ❤️
Wow.. it has something really scary. But in the same way it's high class. Just love him..
Bravo Marilyn
he have the most beautiful voice!
Único e inigualable, Marilyn Manson el mejor !!!!
Lo Adoro 🤩😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
aaahhh!!!!....amo0 a the doors y a marilyn manson

Thank you very much for shareing this song! I love this and I love Marilyn 💜
I absolutely love this. Seeing MM do a solo using his best voice with an unusual song is great. Are there any more videos where he does this kind of thing? It makes me feel like he could've played the emcee in "Cabaret!"
I think this is one of the best covers of this song.... This is the verison that gets stuck in my head..
Manson is awesome, what a great cover. The things he and Morisson have in common are great, good thing Manson didn't die...yet.
Love, love, love, love Marilyn Manson!!!
AHHHhHHhHH!! I LOVE his voice!!!!
This is SO awesome!! Thanks for posting this mo'flaka!
Golden Age Of Grotesque is a album who takes insperation from 30´s Berlin and Hollywood. So to do this songs like in the 30´s burlesque style is amazing to hear and see.
Cool to here his voice like this
How is the original creepier than the Marylin Manson cover?
he's beautiful
2020 & still MM #MansonStrong 💪
i love this cover :D
love his voice
LoI really appreciate and like Marilyn Manson's music, I remember when he came out when he really popped off when I was in middle school, only one guy liked him, Quentin L., Quentin used to throw a book bag with 7 classes worth of textbooks around his neck backwards and spin it, I remember one day helping him untangle it one day at the last second before he went out, it was a close one, here's an interesting, Quentin graduated salutatorian in our class of 03'.

Btw, this video was weird af. Lmfao
esta cancion no es de los doors!! todos piensan eso!! es de Kurt Weill, y esta versión es mucho mas fiel a la original que la de the doors... eso :)
he has never ruined a cover! all of em are 10 x better!
i love it ;D
he is perfect
Très bon :) J'aime Manson ♥:D
Marilyn Manson is a genius. Anyone who has something bad to say is just close minded and everything Manson is singing about.
The Doors' version was also a cover! This song was written by Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weil in 1927! Marilyn Manson is actually much closer to the stage version, so obviously Manson is not trying to cover Jim Morrison's version!
actually lyrics are from Bertold Brecht, music is from Kurt Weill for their opera 'Mahagony'
btw: Mack the knfe is from them too, it's in Threepenny Opera
that show was just too epic!
i acutally love this cover of Manson
you all keep referring to "the original" but the door's version is just a cover. the original is an opera song so its just a matter of covers
the most famous version is by The Doors. the original is written by Bertold Brecht, a german "poet, playwright and theatre director".
I've been in berlin this week, it was awesome.
its composed by kurt Weil and Bertoldt Brecht and from the begining it was sung by Lotte Lenya
That would be unreal being there, that tour and all, it would be like being in another time and place.
Not to mention the out of it types you'd get there - Berlin particularly.
kewl great voice and i liked a lot the girls playing the piano their costumes are kewl :P
It's not a Doors cover, it's a song by Kurt Weill and anyone familiar with the interbellum period will tell you Manson's rendition is closer to the spirit of the original. It's noteworthy that Jim Morrison only used "little girls" in the second verse, although both genders get their share in the original lyrics.
I love this song.
wow, i did not know that!! thank you for the info, Always thought it was a Doors original!! Classic.
AWESOME PERFORMANCE!! -3
muy lindo el cantante muy buena cancion....
i love this version!
manson FTW
The original song isn't by the Doors, but this is a cover of Doors version, you can notice that on piano after "i tell you we must die"
This is NOT a cover of The Doors.
It's a classic of Epic Theatre and he did it exactly right.
I literally turned around in my grave after hearing this ...
Marilyn Manson is the Jim Morrison of our time
I think it's an interesting take on this song. by the way this song was not written by the doors. It was originally published in Bertolt Brecht's Hauspostille (1927). It was set to music by Kurt Weill.
Боже какая прелесть!!!!!❤❤❤❤
His voice is unforgettable 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

GREAT COVER :))) YES...
his voice has deteriated from the abuse he has put it through from screaming it comes out when he when he tries to sing.
still. manson is awsome got to love him
this is so crazzeeeey that i gotta love it
its not originally from the doors! its from berthold brecht. thats why he said 'especially for Berlin'
Does anyone know if this full performance is online to watch anywhere?
The Doors' version was also a cover! This comes from the Brecht/Weil play "The Threepenny Opera," and it was originally sung, I think, by Lotte Lenya. Marilyn Manson is actually much closer to the original, so obviously Manson is not trying to cover Jim Morrison's version, but rather the Lotte Lenya version!
muy buena versión
Su concepto visual sigue siendo impresionante. Lo austero del escenario y lo intimista del cover que noes de los Doors.
Todo mundo sabe que no es original de the doors pero nadie la canto como the doors
He has a way of covering songs and making them awesome and unique.
I LOVE THIS
A bit late to the party...but I’m seeing a bunch of whiners about who wrote what, and who performed it first.

I’m sure there will be haters who praise Morrison as the Poetic God...but they don’t even know Waits.
@martinstatic Actually, this is a cover of the Doors' version. The original, and the Bowie version, have an additional verse as the second verse.
WOW!!!really special!!i really like the doors and like mm!!!i was really like the origial but mm is really incredible!!
This is fantastic. Where was this filmed?
@Baphomet417 - Nice to see someone clued in. Written by Kurt Weill, from The Threepenny Opera. That's why MM says "This is a little one for Berlin." It's where Weill's from.
But the version of The Doors was a cover too, the original was written by Bertold Brecht...
It's not a Doors-song, (even though they did play it), it's a Kurt Weill/Bertol Brecht composition and was composed in 1927
sometimes it just reminds you that manson actually has a lovely voice... specially when it sort of cracks...eg: 0:56 - 1:10 i like this song because it reminds me of old ballet practise, or circus :)
i like it that its creepy because he puts a different spin on it :D
00:56 01:10
Alabama Song is not a song by Morrison. M. Manson is actually covering Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, who made this song in 1927. I even think that Manson is singing the original lyrics.
I don't know why everyones jumping on Manson. I like it, so does the audience.
great interpretation
anybody can tell me where i can found this version..?? cause i really like it..!! sound very nice..!! whyyy...!!! lol..
i love u Marilyn Manson u rock!!
check out Bowie's version of this classic song. The Doors were covering the same song Manson and Bowie were....
Berlin, germany, at 2003
it was a 3 song accoustic show
I really want to see him singing live...
La Voz De Manson Suena perfecta con esta cancion, y el piano suena excelente
yeah...this song is not by the doors. it was written by kurt weill in the 1940s, tons of bands have covered it...
Anyone who likes Jim Morrison and The Doors is a friend of mine. I would've loved to have seen a conversation between Morrison, Marilyn Manson, and so many others.

A lot of people think this song was originally by the Doors, but it was written by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht in 1929. He's singing it close to the way it was originally performed.
This is actually older than the Doors, it's a Kurt Weill song.
