Is "My Way" a great song or am I drunk?

[Mr Brown]

I've already choosen it for my funeral and I'm not 30 yet. The wife and I love the Sinatra years, Dean Martin & Co. Even the Ink spots, Anka & Mario Lanza feature on our playlists.

Of course we know Anka, and very sucessfully made "My Way" a universally well known song from an old decripited French song with Sinatra; even I, a young fuckstick love the old classics. They belted the songs out in a voice with power that will never be repeated again in any fashion and period in which they were produced.

I fucking love Sinatra and Co. even though some say he was a cnut

[DrB0b]

The Sid Vicious version is by far the best.



And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain (Ha ha ha!)
You [at][at][at][at], I'm not a queer
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
And each and every highway
And much, much more than this
I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
But I did .. what I had to do
I'll see it through without redemption

I planned, each chartered course
Be careful thought along the highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

There were times, I'm sure you knew
When there was fuck, fuck fuck else to do

But through it all, when there was doubt
I shot it up, or kicked it out
I faced the wall .. and .. the wall
And did it my way

I've loved in bed last night
I've had my fill, my share of looting
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing

To think, I killed a cat
And may I say ..not in the gay way
"But no, no, not me"
"I did it my way"

For what is a prat, what has he got
When he wears hats that he cannot
Say the things he truly feels
But only the words, not what he feels

The record shows, I fucked a bloke
And did it my way

[Mr Brown]

Your ruining my thread with you tube embedings you bastard.



try this

[FlyFree]

Your drunk.


'My way' is a self-aggrandizing whine for those that failed to do it any way.

Sinatra is a prime example of marketing crap to the masses.

[malice]

Limp Biskit 'My Way' is better.

[Mr Brown]

In January 1974, Sinatra returned to Las Vegas performing at Caesars Palace despite vowing in 1970 never to play there again after the manager of the resort, Sanford Waterman, pulled a gun on him during a heated argument. With Waterman recently shot, the door was open for Sinatra to return.

FlyFree; I've put this in the wrong forum as it will get overloaded with fucking youtube vids

I find the era interesting and respect your opinion; I can't argue as I'm a young 'un but I've always found the character interesting

Yea well, let's just say Sinatra's marketing agency was slightly unorthodox.

[Mr Brown]

Anything to do with the Italians?

I still want it played at my funeral

[Norton]

Best version is:

My Way - Frank Sinatra (with Luciano Pavarotti)

Won't irritate you with vid. Go find it yourself.

[FlyFree]

Is there a song "Fuck Off and Die, You Cunts'? If not, I'd better write one to be played at my funeral

[Mr Brown]

^^ If its good enough norts, deversed to be posted

Just want to ( ) establish a thread a with a few of you older boys that take you back - not strictly blue eyes

please add, I really enjoy nostalgia - and at my age I'm proud to like it

[Norton]

[Mr Brown]

Even Pavorotti liked it...............This next song my wife and I love;

I get the feeling that Frank vocally meets Celine Dion with minimal effort; though great voices together as the duet is well reharsed

[Mr Brown]

the original

[Norton]

You may need more than one song. Enjoy.

[Mr Brown]

Feel the Brass section on the last one - love it and it it get's better with "this town"

*edit Norton <- fuk off, with your MP

[Happyman]

I'm still trying to find a copy of the Frank Ifield / Johnny Rotten duet -

I Remember You - YOU CNUT !!

[Norton]

And don't forget the "King".

[Mr Brown]

HEY.................

Aren't we forgetting Dean Martin.............

next poser.................

what was the classic written by Charlie Chaplin, sung by who

[Norton]

A little more upbeat but appropriate for funeral. Couldn't find the "Burn My Body" rendition.

NICE SUBVERSION BOB!!!

[Mr Brown]

Can't you just and answer my last question

[robuzo]

I've always thought the secret to "My Way" is that it has a great melody, which is originally from a French song, "Comme d'habitude".
Check out this hep cat:

I've never cared for the smug, self-serving lyrics of the English version myself, although after living in Japan I've come to associate them less with Sinatra (whose best song is "That's Life" IMO) and more with the sad irony of Japanese salarymen crooning away in broken English about a way they have never lived.

If you like "My Way" give "That's Life" a listen (the video is kind of jive- can't seem to find one of Frank singing):
