Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Gyp The Cat (page 1/1) ------ performed by Bobby Darin Gyp v Mack | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/8/2007 Mack the Knife was written first, so it already had a "fan base", or "following" as it were. Gyp came along later (50's-60's) and nearly copied the chord build of Mack the knife. (Darin even sings both of them in the same key of B-flat.) Personally, I like Mack better, but that doesn't at all mean I DISlike Gyp in any way.

"Gyp, the Cat" is nearly a twin to Mack the Knife. They share the same simple strumming beginning; both build to a rousing finish; and both tell the story of a ne'er do well with hip names. Yet somehow Mack got famous and Gyp was largely lost to history. In fact, they both share identical meter and tempo. Try singing one over the other and you'll see what I'm talking about. Lyrically, I think I actually prefer Gyp to Mack. The rhymes are more fun and the song has a more playful quality to it. Either way, how can you go wrong?
