- I thought someone would protest about My Way
  
  but the original is sentimental guff sung by that awful arsehole. Sid Vicious sings "I killed a cat, but not in a gay way".
  
  WIN.

    - This is true
      
      Sid Vicious was a cunthead. But I was more talking about the people who worship that rat-pack shit. I should have made myself clearer.

  - The original is actually a French song
    
    called Comme d'habitude, written by Claude Francois. So Sinatra's version is technically a cover too, though Paul Anka rewrote rather than translate the original lyrics.

    - And Paul Anka rewrote them...
      
      after a young David Bowie had been given the lyrics and done a lousy job - Bowie's bitterness at the song's success pushed him into a solo career and 'Life on Mars' is inspired by My Way

        But their version represents for me, a convergence of everything that I love about Bauhaus: the drumming and bass are top notch, Daniel Ash's guitar sounds incredible, and Peter Murphy's vocals are great. I may be slightly biased as it's probably among my favorite Bauhaus tracks, but I still think it's better than Eno's version.
