So, I had a serious Homer Simpson 'Doh!' moment watching this. There is an episode where a piece of music plays a certain part in the plot. It was played very simply early on in the episode (I think by a street vendor and a little boy whistling) and I recognized the tune as Mack The Knife fairly quickly. Of course I got annoyed thinking that they were cheaping out by using an old tune that they wouldn't have to pay much for, and thinking that it was a crappy move to use an American tune from the 50's in a show about pre WW2 Germany. And to top it off the tune was featured in an opera of sorts in the climax of the episode...

...and then I learned that I didn't know shit about Mack The Knife, lol.
