So far we’ve featured Yaacov Reuven doing “In Your Eyes” and Morrison Boomer performing original song “Eyes Open Wide." Now it’s the turn of the Howlin’ Hobbit. Here, he performs “The Ballad of Mack the Knife” from Die Dreigroschenoper, or The Threepenny Opera.
And don’t forget to check out the rest of the featured performers on Battle of the Buskers then vote for your favorite.

I love the fact that Howlin’ Hobbit does the authentic version of this song, translated from the German libretto. Not the Bobby Darin Hollywood arrangement. In my opinion, that’s real class. Go Hobbit!
