In fact he covered it on the same album! This one went to #1 on the US Charts and "Beyond the Sea (La mer)" went to #10.

Which is hilarious because at this song's from Three Penny Opera which is critical of capitalism, and its author (though not the creator of the music) was forced to testify in the Hollywood Blacklist sessions of HUAC in 1947 -- he left to live in East Germany the day after.
