  • Current Music: Lotte Lenya, "Complainte de la Seine"

But that bloody dawn coming up like thunder is driving me crackers

Oley Speaks' popular setting of "Mandalay" and Kurt Weill's "Und was bekam des Soldaten Weib" are melodically similar enough that I can sing them interleavingly, but not such that I think, even taking into account Brecht's well-tracked admiration for Kipling, it means anything.

This has been your useless realization for the night.
