美國脫口秀天王Larry King本月16日退休，半世紀以來各行各業有份量的人都上過他CNN的Larry King Live節目或先前的廣播節目，Larry King早年在邁阿密的WKAT電台主持節目時，有一天被派到沙灘餐廳做連線，訪問服務生與顧客對咖啡的評價，剛好青春偶像歌手Bobby Darin正在那裡用餐，雖然Larry King只知道Bobby Darin的一首金曲，但還是硬起頭皮做訪問，他從Bobby Darin的出身問起，而Bobby Darin也能對答如流，Larry King訪問風格就此建立，也創下50年5萬次專訪的記錄。
Bobby Darin是來自紐約Bronx的早期搖滾樂歌手、作曲與鋼琴手，也有電影與電視的演出，他曾與1960年代初期受歡迎的女星Sandra Dee結過婚，在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜上是第56名的知名歌手，可惜於1973年因心臟病去世（37歲），他最有名的一首歌是1959年9週冠軍曲Mack The Knife，這首歌在滾石雜誌500大歌曲榜也是第251名的歌。
Mack the Knife
Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear
And it shows them pearly white
Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe
And he keeps it, ah, out of sight
Ya know when that shark bites with his teeth, babe
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves, oh, wears old MacHeath, babe
So there never, never a trace of red
Now on the sidewalk, huh, huh, whoo sunny morning, un huh
Lies a body just oozin' life, eek
And someone sneakin' ound the corner
Could that someone be Mack the Knife?
There's a tugboat, huh, huh, down by the river dontcha know
Where a cement bag just a'drooppin' on down
Oh, that cement is just, it's there for the weight, dear
Five'll get ya ten old Macky back in town
Now d'ja hear out Louie Miller? He disappeared, babe
After drawin' out all his hard-earned cash
And now MacHeath spends just like a sailor
Could it be our boy's done somethin' rash?
Now Jenny Diver, ho, ho, yeah, Sukey Tawdry
Ooh, Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Oh, the line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky back in town
I said Jenny Diver, whoa, Sukey Tawdry
Look out to Miss Lotte Lenya and old Lucy Brown
Yes, that line forms on the right, babe
Now that Macky back in town
Look out, old Macky's back!!
