Bobby Darin's, "Artificial Flowers"
The Lyrics:
She made artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Made for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
Made for ladies of fashion to wear
She made artificial flowers, those artificial flowers
Fashioned from Annie's despair
Why:
The song is about a 9-year-old girl whose parents die an untimely death, leaving their daughter to fend for herself making artificial flowers for a living. This has a Vegas lounge-style swing sound similar to "Mack the Knife."

Bobby Darin's, "Mack the Knife"
The Lyrics:
Oh, the shark bites with his teeth, babe And he shows them pearly white Just a jackknife has old MacHeath, babe And he keeps it out of sight
Why:
It's a swingin' Vegas lounge-style song about a serial killer; it was a Number One hit for Darin.
