| My Way (Music) | comment |
My Way is the forty-ninth studio album by Frank Sinatra, released in 1969 through Reprise Records. The record was notable because, for the first time ever, Sinatra covered Rock & Roll songs, a genre he had previously dismissed in a 1957 Los Angeles Mirror News article with the words:By 1960, Sinatra seemed to have eased up enough about rock to sing a duet with Elvis Presley, and nine years later, he ultimately had this album to show for it. It features covers of "Yesterday" by The Beatles and "Mrs. Robinson" by Simon & Garfunkel. (He also covered "Something" from Abbey Road on a single, despite mistakenly attributing it to John Lennon and Paul McCartney instead of George Harrison during concerts.) Other notable covers on the album included Ray Charles' "Hallelujah, I Love Her So", Jacques Brel's "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (covered as "If You Go Away") and, of course, the Title Track, an English-language version of Claude François' "Comme d' Habitude", which subsequently went on to become Sinatra's Signature Song and was Covered Up in too many versions to listnote the most notable being by Elvis Presley and Sid Vicious on his album Sid Sings (1979) and, of all people, Perfect Cell. It got to the point where even Sinatra himself began to dislike the song. | |

Pop-Cultural Osmosis | |
| My Way (Music) / int_19bec249 | comment |
Pop-Cultural Osmosis: Nowadays "My Way" is mostly associated with karaoke bars, as it is the most popular choice for people to sing. In the Philippines, "My Way" has been so treasured that people have been killed for singing it incorrectly at karaoke bars. We're NOT making this up. | |

The Cover Changes the Meaning | |
| My Way (Music) / int_3f1f6c04 | comment |
The Cover Changes the Meaning: Thanks to the nature of Paul Anka's English lyrics for the song, "My Way" turns an Anti-Love Song about the ennui of a collapsing marriage into a story of someone learning to Face Death with Dignity. | |

"I Am Great!" Song | |
| My Way (Music) / int_5924ccb2 | comment |
"I Am Great!" Song: "My Way." Frank went on the record as disliking the song, but it fit his persona so perfectly that he was obliged to top off every concert with it. | |

Badass Boast | |
| My Way (Music) / int_86b21114 | comment |
Badass Boast: "My Way" is one entire badass boast from the start to finish, all the more impressive if you consider it to be from the viewpoint of someone at the end of his life, who may have had "times when he bit off more than he could chew", but still thinks that despite all he still came through. | |

Cover Album | |

Cover Album: All tracks are songs associated with other performers: "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" (Ray Charles), "Yesterday" (The Beatles, from Help!), "A Day in the Life of a Fool" (originally by Luiz Bonfá and Antônio Maria as "Mañha de Carnaval" from Black Orpheus), "If You Leave Me" (originally by Jacques Brel as "Ne Me Quitte Pas"), "For Once in My Life" (Ron Miller and Orlando Murden, most famous in the 1968 version by Stevie Wonder), "Didn't We" (Jimmy Webb, previously recorded by Richard Harris), "Watch What Happens" (Norman Gimbel, Michel Legrand, and Jacques Demy), "Mrs. Robinson" (Simon & Garfunkel, from the album Bookends) and "My Way" (originally by Claude François as "Comme d' Habitude", but the English lyrics are by Paul Anka, who wrote them specifically with Sinatra in mind.). And, funnily enough, "All My Tomorrows" was originally done by... Sinatra himself, in 1959 for the film A Hole in the Head. | |

Grief Song | |
| My Way (Music) / int_e680af6f | comment |
Grief Song: "My Way" starts off as this, from the viewpoint of a man facing death after a full life. But as he looks back on his life he finds peace with himself, eventually concluding that, good or bad, he at least did it his own personal way. | |
