About Alabama Song
The "Alabama Song"—also known as "Moon of Alabama", "Moon over Alabama", and "Whisky Bar"—is an English language song written by Elisabeth Hauptmann in 1925 and set to music by Franz Servatius Bruinier and Kurt Weill for Bertolt Brecht's 1927 Mahagonny-Songspiel. Brecht also used it for his 1930 opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. It has been recorded by the Doors and David Bowie.
