> Let us not forget the use the late, great Ernie Kovacs made of "Die Moritat" as background music for some of the skits in the Ernie Kovacs Show on TV.  It was sung in German, I'm not sure by whom.  And, of course, "Solfeggio" that accompanied the marvellous Nairobi Trio, not to forget the show's theme music, "Oriental Blues."
