- Cover de la cancion "Alabama Song" de The Doors interpretada por Marilyn Manson en un recital que ofrecio en Berlin en el año 2003.
Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny (Mahagonny en adelante, en español Ascensión y caída de la ciudad de Mahagonny) es una ópera que consiste de 3 actos (las ediciones más nuevas suelen carecer de la distribución en actos). La música fue escrita por Kurt Weill y el texto por Bertolt Brecht. Su primera presentación fue en Leipzig, el 9 de marzo en el año 1930. La ópera dura unos 2 horas y media y está ambientada en Mahagonny, una ciudad ficticia de los EE.UU. en el año 1930.
Kurt Weill durante la ópera reseña un círculo amplio presentando varios temas durante el primer acto y luego anidándolas de manera más y más compleja y llevándolas a un clímax en el acto final.
Frecuentemente usa citas musicales: el Acorde de Tristán, extraído de Tristán e Isolda de Richard Wagner, que en su época frecuentemente es usado para referir a un amor infinito, suena en el principio de la fundación de una ciudad de bares y burdeles; La canción del Wir weben zusammen den Jungfernkranz[2] de la ópera der Freischütz por Karl Maria von Weber (que durante su época por muchos fue considerado como Kitsch) está citada en arribo de los 4 leñadores que por supuesto no estaban pensando en tejer. Otras formas citadas son fugas a la manera de Bach, música eclesiástica, popular y militar, el shanty, la tarantela y el blues.
El Song de Alabama [editar]Es una canción con carácter de song que es cantada en el primer acto por las chicas y por Jenny. Ellas perdieron su patria y ven su única oportunidad en venderse a los hombres de Mahagonny. Se despiden de la luna, un motivo que aparece varias veces durante la ópera, esperando una vida mejor.
La música mezcla unas coloraturas tristes con un sprechgesang cínico expresando esta nostalgia
El texto original fue publicado por primera vez en la Hauspostille por Brecht, el año 1927, junto con una melodía por él mismo que Weill no usaba. En el texto fuente el yo lírico es un hombre.
La canción aparece frecuentemente en la música popular como en The Doors o David Bowie. - Hudba
The Doors originally covered it at Dorothy Manzarek's suggestion. She had the album recorded in 1930 by Lottie Lenya, written by Btecht & Weill. Robby and John thought it crazy to record an "oom pah" song. When The Doors played Europe, this was not well received. It was considered to be a Nazi song.
After The Doors covered this song, most thought it to be a Doors original. It should be noted. that the original verse was ommited altogether. The character that sang this song was a prostitute. Morrison also changed "Show me the way to the next pretty boy" to "next little girl" To the best of my knowledge, I believe it was only at The Matrix that he sang."pretty boy" Many bands have since covered it, thinking just that it was a Doors song. Bette Midler, David Bowie, Nina Simone, Marianne Faithfull, David Johansen (N.Y. Dolls) did to name just a few.
I was 3 years old when that happened :,(
Here's the 1930's version and the stage play version czcams.com/video/Yi-hEFKs9gk/video.html czcams.com/video/EGUjGPrfA6U/video.html
The audience that considered it to be a Nazi song were misinformed! It was written by Kurt Weill, who was Jewish, and the Nazis considered his work degenerate. There was a riot from Nazi sympathizers at the opera's 1930 premiere in Leipzig!
The best part of being a manson fan on CZcams you see the same few people on each video
Hello friend
Same “plants”
True
Haha yup
🖤😇🖤
This song makes me so happy. Manson's vocal's are legit. It's so bizarrely cherry and so weirdly perverted, and being over-dramatic at the same time. I love his solo Burlesque performances, he should have done more.
Wish he still sung like this
Io adoro la sua VOCE nn adoro testi di Altri con la sua VOCE.desidero le sue parole o testi mm mi colpisce con i testi e nn tolgo niente per la musica
Marylin Manson is beautiful
Great twisted version of an old song. It's so goth that even the goth kids don't fully get it.
Most of you people just don't understand the artistic value of imitation through admiration. Look at history. We're all just rehashing cave art in more modern ways.
It's PERFECT!!! I love this GUY... His voice is something unbelieveable. I wanna see him in a musical!
When he say "You know why?" 😱😍😍
Are you 6 years old?
@@cannibalsuperstar6081 What the fuck is your problem
He was so bloody beautiful
His voice omg 😍
"oh don't ask why" hhshshshh i love it
not trying to be an asshat here but I didnt like it that much, to each their own though
Lol what, it sucked, compared to Morrison it's painful to listen to (and look at really..)
Fantastic MM !
I LOVE both of these bands, good shit Manson, what a twist!
He makes me so happy
Golden Age Of Grotesque is a album who takes insperation from 30´s Berlin and Hollywood. So to do this songs like in the 30´s burlesque style is amazing to hear and see.
Único e inigualable, Marilyn Manson el mejor !!!!
Lo Adoro 🤩😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love him so much💕
Wow.. it has something really scary. But in the same way it's high class. Just love him..
Marylin Manson is the best
2020 & still MM #MansonStrong 💪
This is SO awesome!! Thanks for posting this mo'flaka!
he's beautiful
to all the comments here...this song is NOT from the Doors ! Also David Bowie have sing it...and a lot of others...This song is from Kurt Weil and Berthold Brecht !
no its the doors or the doors covered it NAW JIMBOE DID IT!
Will you post the original please? I would love to hear it. 😄
austin miller Just search Bertold Brecht Alabama Song and it should come up with some theatre recordings
It's the doors. He was obsessed with them. If it wasn't for the doors he wouldn't be who he was the doors made him insane and look and be the way he is.
Yes the doors didnt orignally do it. But everyone knows the doors version. The original was an old obscure song that no one really knew about even in the 60s, let alone today. This is clearly a horrendous cover of the doors version.
i love this cover :D
aaahhh!!!!....amo0 a the doors y a marilyn manson
Love, love, love, love Marilyn Manson!!!
I think this is one of the best covers of this song.... This is the verison that gets stuck in my head..
he have the most beautiful voice!
he has never ruined a cover! all of em are 10 x better!
Manson is awesome, what a great cover. The things he and Morisson have in common are great, good thing Manson didn't die...yet.
Love him ❤️
love his voice
I absolutely love this. Seeing MM do a solo using his best voice with an unusual song is great. Are there any more videos where he does this kind of thing? It makes me feel like he could've played the emcee in "Cabaret!"
LoI really appreciate and like Marilyn Manson's music, I remember when he came out when he really popped off when I was in middle school, only one guy liked him, Quentin L., Quentin used to throw a book bag with 7 classes worth of textbooks around his neck backwards and spin it, I remember one day helping him untangle it one day at the last second before he went out, it was a close one, here's an interesting, Quentin graduated salutatorian in our class of 03'. He had raised himself from age 14 after losing his mother very young to cancer and emancipating from his father's care from what I remember. Quentin was/is an example you can overcome about any circumstance in life with perseverance. Hope you're doing well Quentin if you ever read this.
Btw, this video was weird af. Lmfao
Bravo Marilyn
people like :"He sings bad, he is a bad singer"
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU ? MARILYN MANSON HAS SUCH A DEEP AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE, PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS WORLD
not any more he used to have really good voice no the best of the world like u say
but killer voice,i love to watch anything from the first albums now he needs
a lot of air and if u having seen him in concert he suck, he still make
great records, good and smart dude but his singing is bad this times
He's got smthg just amazing in his voice ... that make this song a bit scary
James Jamez
you're half right
He still has a great voice. But he's slipped significantly live. Sometimes his performances are awful even. However, I think it's mostly from a lack of trying or he's just drunk. Every now and then though he gives a really great performance that shows he's still got the ability. He just doesn't use it enough.
Probably you´re Marilyn Manson with a false account
Best in the world ?! No way, HOWEVER, Manson IS a great lyricist/singer
wow, i did not know that!! thank you for the info, Always thought it was a Doors original!! Classic.
i acutally love this cover of Manson
simplemente el mejor
GREAT COVER :))) YES...
AWESOME PERFORMANCE!! -3

Thank you very much for shareing this song! I love this and I love Marilyn 💜

Marilyn Manson is a genius. Anyone who has something bad to say is just close minded and everything Manson is singing about.
AHHHhHHhHH!! I LOVE his voice!!!!
i love it ;D
he is perfect
te amo !!!!!!!
this is so crazzeeeey that i gotta love it
that show was just too epic!
Cool to here his voice like this

still. manson is awsome got to love him
Très bon :) J'aime Manson ♥:D
kewl great voice and i liked a lot the girls playing the piano their costumes are kewl :P
Sorry people but the Door's song is also a cover. 'Alabama song' or 'whisky bar' or 'Moon of Alabama' is a song by Bertolt Brech and Kurt Weill from is play Mahagonny. David Bowie also did a cover of this song.
its soo good, i like it.
I've been in berlin this week, it was awesome.
i love this version!
manson FTW
Manson cabaret voltaire 😎🤘
His voice is unforgettable 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW!!!really special!!i really like the doors and like mm!!!i was really like the origial but mm is really incredible!!
Su concepto visual sigue siendo impresionante. Lo austero del escenario y lo intimista del cover que noes de los Doors.
Todo mundo sabe que no es original de the doors pero nadie la canto como the doors
I LOVE THIS
Anyone who likes Jim Morrison and The Doors is a friend of mine. I would've loved to have seen a conversation between Morrison, Marilyn Manson, and so many others. Carl Sagan fits into what I'm thinking about. There are so many in our past that were far beyond their time. Death f'n sucks, but it establishes a legacy. It's weird, I understand.
I don't know why everyones jumping on Manson. I like it, so does the audience.
That would be unreal being there, that tour and all, it would be like being in another time and place.
Not to mention the out of it types you'd get there - Berlin particularly.
I love this song.
I literally turned around in my grave after hearing this ...
Amazing!
this cover is awesome
sometimes it just reminds you that manson actually has a lovely voice... specially when it sort of cracks...eg: 0:56 - 1:10 i like this song because it reminds me of old ballet practise, or circus :)
i like it that its creepy because he puts a different spin on it :D
00:56 01:10
The Doors' version was also a cover! This song was written by Berthold Brecht and Kurt Weil in 1927! Marilyn Manson is actually much closer to the stage version, so obviously Manson is not trying to cover Jim Morrison's version!
Very nice *IN LOVE*
muy buena versión
This is NOT a cover of The Doors.
It's a classic of Epic Theatre and he did it exactly right.
He has a way of covering songs and making them awesome and unique.
love love love. RIP JON RUSSO
I like this version much better. And i think it gives it a very different vibes. Its all based on personal preference but i think both the original and this one are very good
A bit late to the party...but I’m seeing a bunch of whiners about who wrote what, and who performed it first. Why don’t all of you stop bickering and start listening to the greatest and most creative American musician of the last 60 years? Tom Waits created every aspect of Manson and crushes Morrison in poetry (even I hate to admit it). I’m sure there will be haters who praise Morrison as the Poetic God...but they don’t even know Waits.
love it, he is such a talented musician. I always look forward to his new albums
It's not a Doors cover, it's a song by Kurt Weill and anyone familiar with the interbellum period will tell you Manson's rendition is closer to the spirit of the original. It's noteworthy that Jim Morrison only used "little girls" in the second verse, although both genders get their share in the original lyrics.
awesome!!
I really love the way his voice used to sound. It was very different. But now it's so strained. :[
perfect version:)
: )
So good choise!
es super divertido hacer covers con publico en vivo puedes desvariar y divagar hacer todo lo que se te ocurra que puede quedar, me imagino lo que deve de ser hacer este tipo de shows a ese nivel...
great interpretation
the most famous version is by The Doors. the original is written by Bertold Brecht, a german "poet, playwright and theatre director".
Good cover :)
I LOVE IT!!! - not really easy to sing...I say this as a singer.- Dai.
i just love marilyn mansons voice , its so wierd and nice! and as someone else said he sure knows how to set up a hell of a show :) thx for uploading
:D i was hoping the doors wasnt the original version, as it didn't have anything IN it, if you get me...
but thats really made my day...
*googles*
@TheCancerMan
how?
i love music! and i love marilyn manson so im kinda glad i like this cover xD
einfach geil^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Hahaha...I Love it!!! :3
I LOVE MANSON!
Omg I love
The original song isn't by the Doors, but this is a cover of Doors version, you can notice that on piano after "i tell you we must die"
La Voz De Manson Suena perfecta con esta cancion, y el piano suena excelente
He is the best .
Jim Morrison music lives on.......
