This was taken from a tribute film 'September Songs: The Music of Kurt Weill', which was made back in 1994 with a bunch of artists performing a single song each. Nick Cave, Lou Reed, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, etc., etc. Last I checked, it's not commercially available on dvd, though it can be found in some libraries on VHS (as it's somewhat considered an educational film, given the Weill/Brecht importance).

interestingly, PJ has a nice bruise on her left arm, which you cannot see on any version of this on the web. It comes through well on my clean copy (nothing important, just a mildly interesting factoid for you).

True, very nice song. And nice that PJ sings it.

From Prague came a pair of high heeled shoes, With a kiss or two came the high heeled shoes From the ancient city of Prague..."
