Gotta be Mack the Knife. Classic rendition of a song originally written for an opera.

And the first pair? Or are my eyes just skimming over the that and only can see the 2nd pair we’re supposed to be voting on?

It’s kind of a bummer finish, since I’m not big on either of these two, but my vote will go to:
“Rock Around the Clock” Bill Haley & His Comets

Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin, ATCO single (mono) version. The stereo re-mix of the song is just horrid to me.

Yesterday was also my brother’s BD, Happy Birthday!
Rock Around the Clock.
I like both, I just think this one’s more iconic of the era.
Thx!

Interesting that "Mack the Knife" made it to the final round. To me, it's a thirties song.
