Sorry the original song is French, "comme d'habitude" lyrics by Claude François and music by Jacques Revaux. The heirs are cashing in the copyrights by millions ! Sid Vicious did the best cover and video clip, "killing" the audience at the Olympia, Paris, at the end, so funny !
My Mother is the woman playing Sid's Mum in the audience in this video. She was made bed-bound 5 years ago and its been my pleasure to be her carer through that time. She passed away back on the 11th of this month (11/12/2022). I will miss her a lot.
My condolences! My father passed a few years ago and we feel his absence daily, so I thought I'd extend my sympathies to you and your family. It's cool that your mother got to take part in something so culturally significant! My mother would probably be a tad jealous, she is a sex pistols fan and laments the fact that she was born too late to ever be able to see them in concert (not that they would've ever come to our tiny country).
I'm sorry to hear that your mom passed. It's very cool that she took part in this. She must have been a cool mom. I love exposing my kids to punk, I find the humor in it makes us all laugh and takes some of the seriousness out of parenting. Sending healing thoughts to you and yours. I hope you all are well in spite of your loss.
Leonard Cohen said of the song: "I never liked this song except when Sid Vicious did it. Sid Vicious’s rendition takes in everybody; everybody is messed up like that, everybody is the mad hero of his own drama."
+redospure jim morrison could sing and write.so no,i wasnt talking abt jim. sex pistols purposley turnd off sids bass cause he couldnt play.all he was was a stage attraction.he like i said...was the best musician who couldnt play
+redospure Quite a few similarities there actually (see my comment above about how they are both often mistaken for the actors who expertly played them in 80's movies). Altho I have enjoyed both of their music and stage presence, I have to agree - Morrison might not have been the best singer of his era (still better than 99% of the horseshit being sold today tho) but in addition to his amazing stage presence he was definitely one hell of a poet/lyricist.
+A. Nonny Mouse It was Sid too. I've read a few accounts of people in and associated with the band reporting this. To be fair tho he learned to play specifically so he could be in the band and had only been playing somewhere around a month before they hit the road on his first tour with the band. Apparently he learned pretty quick to play well enough that a short time later, just before they broke up, he was actually playing on the road. Also, it's not like anyone in that band was a gifted musician - Punk Rock in general, especially the first wave in the '70's, was characterized by pretty shitty musicianship.
This is unironically the best version of this song. It really, truly is. Sid doesn't just sing it, he performs it. He inhabits it. He IS the song. He brings so much passion and honesty to it. This man really could have been something special had he not gone out the way he did.
Frank Sinatra commented on this performance, saying he truly loved it. Sid Vicious really embodied punk music. I’ve got a huge poster of him on my wall, he’s a legend.
Was also a sad out-of-place kid with a very sad childhood (read Jah Wobble's book), later a heroin addict who ended up stabbing his girlfriend to death. In other words, by the end of his life had become an asshole. May still fit the "legend" category, I suppose, if you stretch it.
LEONARD COHEN ABOUT SID VICIOUS: "I never liked this song [“My Way”] except when Sid Vicious did it. Sung straight, it somehow deprives the appetite of a certain taste we’d like to have on our lips. When Sid Vicious did it, he provided that other side to the song; the certainty, the self- congratulation, the daily heroism of Sinatra’s version is completely exploded by this desperate, mad, humorous voice. I can’t go round in a raincoat and fedora looking over my life saying I did it my way - well, for 10 minutes in some American bar over a gin and tonic you might be able to get away with it. But Sid Vicious’s rendition takes in everybody; everybody is messed up like that, everybody is the mad hero of his own drama. It explodes the whole culture this self-presentation can take place in, so it completes the song for me."
What's ironic about it? I mean, maybe the video is ironic in the sense that I think he really meant it and his audience would assume it was a lot of joking. But the song is about an artist at the end of his career looking back on his life. Sid died. This is quite certainly the most unironic punk song of all time.
@@andreesengillies4427 the irony resides in the fact that the song was written by Paul Anka and Sang by Frank Sinatra which was a completely different era and genre of music while Sid and Sex Pistols fell into punk rock and he still ended killing the song

The way he sings the intro in such a beautifully sarcastic way hits me quite emotionally considering little did he know he would meet the final curtain about a year after..
what makes me sad is that he never got any kind of happy ending. his girlfriend dies, he's accused of murder, he's sent to prison, has one suicide attempt, and then overdoses a few days later. poor sod.
He said that he was going to live his life the way he wanted to, but he didn't. He was just a poor heroin slave who was never happy at all. I feel kinda bad for him.

"To think, I killed a cat, and may I say, not in a gay way" Maybe not ironic in his mind, but for me it is, and is thus my favourite lyric of all time.
Yeah it wasn't a joke. Heres a story from his flatmate. "One night I went round and saw Sid, and there was a cat that was in the flat. And for no reason he decided to put a noose around the cat and hang it up in front of me... ...it didn't last long as far as ticks on the clock but it seemed like an eternity. The cat was struggling and was trying to get away but obviously it couldn't. It was whining. It was absolutely fighting to get away and just before it passed away, it urinated and defacated right on his feet. Sid was holding it in front of me. I utterly regret not stopping him doing that. Why he did that, I don't know. I have no idea, it's the most disgusting thing that I have seen in my life. If I could have my life over again, I would've stopped him from doing it. It was horrible... ...we finally put the cat in a plastic bag and took it to the bin downstairs."
Sinatra died almost 20 years after Sid. They were living at the same time but probably very different lifestyles. It’s wonderful how they still managed to communicate through music. Beautiful ♥️
there are many things that piss me off in life. one of the biggest is when people say Sid Vicious had no talent. this is one of the most iconic live performances ever. sid looked and sounded amazing. he took the weight of a whole counter culture on his frail junkie shoulders and paid the the price. but make no mistake, he was great. long after you and i are dust people will still be watching this...rip SID
The other day, I realized how really crazy but brilliant of an idea covering this was - on the level of Wilson Pickett covering Hey Jude. It matched if not exceeded the original and all at the same time is a parody, update, and final testament to Sid.
Definitely my favourite version of this song. Of course the original is best but the boldness of this I just love it especially when the rock kicks in absolutely brilliant he certainly did it his way
So here were are, in January, 2020 and I still absolutely, positively, unequivocally love this rendition of "my way"" RIP Sid. You're still awesome!!!!
Rip sid.you brought us so much laughter and happiness..The small stuff the media sweated you about was nothing compared to the good you achieved.Rest easy big guy.
Bullshit heroin doesn't give you confidence like that. Maybe not you because drugs effect different people in different ways, but opiates always made me feel like king of the world. Been clean since 2012 and never want to go back to using, but I can't lie when I say I miss the confidence I had when I used. Stimulants for me never had that affect. Always made me paranoid instead. But I have known people that did feel that way on them. But yeah opiates definitely have that affect on some people.
SID VICIOUS' VERSION WAS THE BEST VERSION OF ''MY WAY''!!! HIS RENDITION WAS SO ENTERTAINING, NOT BORING!!! HE MADE THE SONG TRULY HIS OWN!!! you bet!!!
he got onstage and did a shitty cover... the Pistols were GREAT at shitty covers... like their cover of the WHO's "Substitute". Sid didnt WRITE The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, Malcolm McLaren did.
Actually, there was the top of the pops, the oldest ancestor of Mtv. But the videos they played weren't music videos, i would describe it more as a visualised version of the song. It was called "Promotion Clips" back then and the bands didn't get paid for the network to play their promotion clips. The only benefit of this was that hopefully someone would see your face on tv and go buy your record.
No es para tanto, Loco...era medio un gilun trucha de semi cuarta, que ni grabo el bajo, en el " Never Mind ..."....si bien el tipo, era de abajo, y estaba en la escena Punk..76/77....fue como una cosita echa del Malcom Mc Laren,....que agarro guita de la nada.
My all time favourite punk song ever and for those that say he could'nt sing or play, thats kinda the point of British punk, fuck it, get up and do it if you have the bollocks, he did and thats why hes a fucking legend, Sid will never die!!!!!!!
This cover sums up Sid's short life really, it was messed up, it got butchered and ruined. But it still ended up being legendary just like him. Rest in piece Sid , you really did it your way
Sid Vicious Was My Mentor And Taught Me Everything About Punk Rock Music And Becoming A Bass Player And A Punk Rocker Sid Vicious Was The Best Mentor I've Ever Had Sid Vicious Was The World's Best Mentor I've Ever Had
When I was 12 , living in Syd AUS , i had a pic /poster on my wall of Sid Vicious that said - I've only ever fallen in love twice in my life , once with a beer bottle and once with a mirror ..... Haha
FRIENDS, IF YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY TO THIS ANIMAL, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE AND NEGATIVE TO BE A MUSICIAN AND CRITICIZE IT AS SUCH, YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF MUSIC, YOU ARE PUBLISHED BUT MUSIC DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, CONTINUE TO COME FUCKING AS THE PUNK WAS
He sings some songs in the rock in roll swindle soundtrack but same, it’s hard to accept someone like him is dead, he lived a hard life and he died so young
He certainly shines at times and I feel sad for him.Sid really had the odds stacked against him for most of his short life but managed to send a strong message to the conformist he despised.I guess that was you don't have to have talent and kiss butt to be an entertainer,you just have to perform.
He sings three songs in the Rock'n'roll Swindle movie. This song also was part of an album called Sid Sings. Although his album hit number 30 on the charts, it's considered to be rare today.
There's a good reason why you shivering. We easily could've had the greatest punk artist or at least performer but unfortunately sid just ended up being wasted potential.
Be in Peace Sid Vicious, without passing cloth to you or to anyone, but your childhood was very bad with you, Sid Vicious, needed a lot of help and had little "It". But it became a legend.
way back in 1978 it was my favourite version and now looking back at it now the video is a classic still love it the music is brilliant with the orchestra included as well r.i.p. Sid and cheers to John Lyndon
Paul Anka, who wrote this song, said that out of all the people who sang this song, Sid Viscous did it with the most passion.

"To think, I killed a cat, and may I say, not in a gay way"
Maybe not ironic in his mind, but for me it is, and is thus my favourite lyric of all time.
hectorstable I never thought the word "gay" was used back then I thought they used ..let's say more derogatory terms...
itsagreatfuckinglyrics,
hectorstable not in the guy way
Yeah it wasn't a joke. Heres a story from his flatmate. "One night I went round and saw Sid, and there was a cat that was in the flat. And for no reason he decided to put a noose around the cat and hang it up in front of me...
...it didn't last long as far as ticks on the clock but it seemed like an eternity. The cat was struggling and was trying to get away but obviously it couldn't. It was whining. It was absolutely fighting to get away and just before it passed away, it urinated and defacated right on his feet. Sid was holding it in front of me. I utterly regret not stopping him doing that. Why he did that, I don't know. I have no idea, it's the most disgusting thing that I have seen in my life. If I could have my life over again, I would've stopped him from doing it. It was horrible...
...we finally put the cat in a plastic bag and took it to the bin downstairs."
That's because you're a moron
Classy!!!!
Love it!!
Long Live punk!!!!
❤️💕
Sinatra died almost 20 years after Sid. They were living at the same time but probably very different lifestyles. It’s wonderful how they still managed to communicate through music. Beautiful ♥️
He will remain as 21 yrs old forever
Too fast to live, too young to die
Too young to die but too wild to live
To be 21 forever is many people’s dream.
Same thing for Per Yngve Ohlin aka Dead from Mayhem.
@@bassnarnihil true forever young
Amazing how he could deliver such a flawless performance after hitting his mouth so hard with the microphone in the beginning. A true professional.
aka a punkie
It's not live....
I was just going to write that. He punched himself with the mic, and that hurt 😂😂😂😂
Pointless
the Brits teeth are made for that sort of thing
Absolutely fantastic!!
I could never understand how this never made it to Top Of The Pops.
there are many things that piss me off in life. one of the biggest is when people say Sid Vicious had no talent. this is one of the most iconic live performances ever. sid looked and sounded amazing. he took the weight of a whole counter culture on his frail junkie shoulders and paid the the price. but make no mistake, he was great. long after you and i are dust people will still be watching this...rip SID
Monkey Man I find this performance iconic and revolutionary
The other day, I realized how really crazy but brilliant of an idea covering this was - on the level of Wilson Pickett covering Hey Jude. It matched if not exceeded the original and all at the same time is a parody, update, and final testament to Sid.
He was a legend..sorry!
@@jeffreycox6647 I prefer his version to Sinatra's
It's not live
Leonard Cohen preferred Sid Vicious' version of My Way every other version
so did Paul Anka who wrote it. probably was the royalties though.
@@mrlucky777 Yo prffiero a Sid Vicious que a Paul Mccartney.
I always have also
Me too. It needed a good kick up the arse!
Jackie Brown n
I cant stop playing this
Definitely my favourite version of this song. Of course the original is best but the boldness of this I just love it especially when the rock kicks in absolutely brilliant he certainly did it his way
The original is "comme d'habitude" de Claude François
“I gotta spend the rest of my life living like a schmuck” RIP Ray Liotta
BANG, BANG
Best beginning and best ending, oh and best movie. RIP Ray.
It's schnook you fool
So here were are, in January, 2020 and I still absolutely, positively, unequivocally love this rendition of "my way""
RIP Sid. You're still awesome!!!!
This sounds terrible😀
yup..Frank's was too slick n self congratulatory..i way prefer Sid's...far deeper..more self doubt, menacing by far
@@lisawhite6948 okay lisa
1/1/22 here we are again…. Do it your way!
You look up to a murderer good job morons
Imagine being sid back then.....doing whatever the hell you wanted to do .. ❤️❤️
Always awesome ❤
Happy 62nd Birthday Sidney, hope you're at peace now. ❤
Ti amo da impazzire sid Vicious
he's in heaven cuz he was set up
@@questionmark3666 Agreed 👍
Sydney?
@@wilmacrfc no,.Sidney
He may have been a talentless musician, but he was at least entertaining.
Nowadays we call that a socialite.
He was the personification of punk, all spit and bile that demanded to be taken notice of regardless of talent.
Pure punk
he was wicked!!!!!!!!
we’re all wicked ask covid
Rip sid.you brought us so much laughter and happiness..The small stuff the media sweated you about was nothing compared to the good you achieved.Rest easy big guy.
SID you will never die.
He seems so confident all the time and I love it
That’s the power of heroin
@@xtragurl6369 nahhhhhhh, heroin doesn’t really make you confident lmfao. Stimulants like coke do that
Bullshit heroin doesn't give you confidence like that. Maybe not you because drugs effect different people in different ways, but opiates always made me feel like king of the world. Been clean since 2012 and never want to go back to using, but I can't lie when I say I miss the confidence I had when I used. Stimulants for me never had that affect. Always made me paranoid instead. But I have known people that did feel that way on them. But yeah opiates definitely have that affect on some people.
@@xtragurl6369 lmfao hell nawl
SID VICIOUS' VERSION WAS THE BEST VERSION OF ''MY WAY''!!!
HIS RENDITION WAS SO ENTERTAINING, NOT BORING!!!
HE MADE THE SONG TRULY HIS OWN!!!
you bet!!!
@Lejla Tiric yup..Sinatra's is too slick n self congratulatory..i way prefer Sid's...far deeper..more self doubt, menacing by far
si sid vicious ba bumaril kay rizal? lol.
@@rjordist4925 oo
he got onstage and did a shitty cover... the Pistols were GREAT at shitty covers... like their cover of the WHO's "Substitute". Sid didnt WRITE The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, Malcolm McLaren did.
no
This is everything.
Can't believe we lost you 45 years ago today. Still a legend 😢
42 years since we lost you Sid. Hope you're still doing it Your Way. RIP you legend!
He's not.
@@sageantone7291 hes a shitty person but hes still a legend
He is doing it God's way, who always has the last say.
He's burning in hell, coz he killed his girlfriend he loved ... he regrets every day what he has done ...
@@icelinx Bet you're a hit at parties...
Still one of the greatest music videos ever. They didn’t make music videos in the late 70s. Just genius.
This is a part of the movie the Great Rock and Roll Swindle. Not just a music video. And don t get me wrong, I love this song
Actually, there was the top of the pops, the oldest ancestor of Mtv. But the videos they played weren't music videos, i would describe it more as a visualised version of the song. It was called "Promotion Clips" back then and the bands didn't get paid for the network to play their promotion clips. The only benefit of this was that hopefully someone would see your face on tv and go buy your record.
Este chico lo tenía todo, carisma, liderazgo, calidad musical, se jugó la vida a una carta y la perdió
No es para tanto, Loco...era medio un gilun trucha de semi cuarta, que ni grabo el bajo, en el " Never Mind ..."....si bien el tipo, era de abajo, y estaba en la escena Punk..76/77....fue como una cosita echa del Malcom Mc Laren,....que agarro guita de la nada.
This guy was a real artist .What a performance😮
He was a moron.
@@Keepinitreel108one does not exclude the other
And murderer
How was he an artist? He didn't write any of the band's songs and literally couldn't play his instrument.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My all time favourite punk song ever and for those that say he could'nt sing or play, thats kinda the point of British punk, fuck it, get up and do it if you have the bollocks, he did and thats why hes a fucking legend, Sid will never die!!!!!!!
+Dr Avalanche
Stabbed his girlfriend to death.
Legendary.
Now you're gettin it.
Dr Avalanche
Most of what I've 'got', I've had twice as long as John Ritchie drew breath.
Get it?
oh.
lol!
This is originally a Sinatra song
This cover sums up Sid's short life really, it was messed up, it got butchered and ruined. But it still ended up being legendary just like him.
Rest in piece Sid , you really did it your way
Gerard Cortes and killed a woman.
He was a piece of shit lol
@@bedford4383 When trying to correct someone don't end it with, 'lol', it just makes you sound like a condescending asshole
@@jonasp.b.1188 ok. He was a piece of shit.
As are you for being a condescending arsehole.
Sid Vicious Was My Mentor And Taught Me Everything About Punk Rock Music And Becoming A Bass Player And A Punk Rocker Sid Vicious Was The Best Mentor I've Ever Had Sid Vicious Was The World's Best Mentor I've Ever Had
Extremely talented missing Sid
When I was 12 , living in Syd AUS , i had a pic /poster on my wall of Sid Vicious that said - I've only ever fallen in love twice in my life , once with a beer bottle and once with a mirror ..... Haha
FRIENDS, IF YOU TAKE SERIOUSLY TO THIS ANIMAL, SELF-DESTRUCTIVE AND NEGATIVE TO BE A MUSICIAN AND CRITICIZE IT AS SUCH, YOU DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING OF MUSIC, YOU ARE PUBLISHED BUT MUSIC DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING, CONTINUE TO COME FUCKING AS THE PUNK WAS
Well....I can't argue, he did have some good quotes.
personally, i love this way more than frank sinatra’s. he truly did it his way!
Gladly you're not the only one.
@@christos7100 after doing this Sid said it was a piss-take of the song
Sinatra's my way is one of the best song ever
And that's what it's all about...
In Art.
In Life.
We must do what is required
@Lejla Tiric yup..Frank's was too slick n self congratulatory..i way prefer Sid's...far deeper..more self doubt, menacing by far
I love Sid and this song❤❤❤
The only footage ever of him not staring at the floor continuously
Danielson 777!??? Tu see HIM live? Dinhuh thinks si! Fu!
I often think about how he was still just a kid up there on that stage but yet larger than life and iconic.
Simply clever and a TRUE masterpiece that Anka himself could NEVER even Touch when it comes to true feeling
Madonna said of the song:
"Sid Vicious’s rendition of this track is truly captivating, a legendary performance in it's own right."
THE most Punk song ever. It's such bollocks in every way it's awesome, the video says it all. Masterpiece of anti celebrity/entertainment.
Ben Jerry "it's such bollocks in every way it's awesome" I'm guessing you're not British cos that doesn't quite make any sense :)
Pathetic crap.
actually this is bs xD
my theme song!
try listening to gg allin then
02.02.2020
41 anniversary of Sid's death
Rest in Anarchy!
why rest
He did it his way ❤brilliant 👏
Sid sings with so much fuckin passion sid lives.
I dont know why but I like this a lot
There has to be a word for being thankful for something existing, like it or not, this is just iconic
Just fantastic !!!!
It is almost like some incredible moment in time just came into being and there he was powerful and yet fated to ignite and then burn out.
This really is to this day and further possibly one of the absolute best "music videos" I've ever seen.
Punk's finest moment.
Loved this ever since i was 8 yrs old, . Rock n roll Sid..
Honestly best version, gets me so pumped
"It's better to burn out than fade away" Best. Cover. Ever. It was horrible and real and he did it his way.
🤣
I’ve never listened to Sid but this gives me chills for some reason
He sings some songs in the rock in roll swindle soundtrack but same, it’s hard to accept someone like him is dead, he lived a hard life and he died so young
He certainly shines at times and I feel sad for him.Sid really had the odds stacked against him for most of his short life but managed to send a strong message to the conformist he despised.I guess that was you don't have to have talent and kiss butt to be an entertainer,you just have to perform.
He sings three songs in the Rock'n'roll Swindle movie. This song also was part of an album called Sid Sings. Although his album hit number 30 on the charts, it's considered to be rare today.
yeah its that bad it gives me chills too
There's a good reason why you shivering. We easily could've had the greatest punk artist or at least performer but unfortunately sid just ended up being wasted potential.
I grew up with this. Love it so much
Be in Peace Sid Vicious, without passing cloth to you or to anyone, but your childhood was very bad with you, Sid Vicious, needed a lot of help and had little "It".
But it became a legend.
Great song. Great Perf. And Gary Oldman's impersonation of Sid is a keeper!!
Totally...Sid and Nancy is a great rock and roll movie!!! 🤟🤟🤟.....
I have that movie on DVD, it's been a fav of mine for 16yr & Ive only ever watched it twice 😅👌
Nobody was more successful at being so outlandishly impudent. I always get a chuckle out of this.
He was just so full of life 🎉❤🎉
The best music/songs arent just heard but felt ❤
way back in 1978 it was my favourite version and now looking back at it now the video is a classic still love it the music is brilliant with the orchestra included as well r.i.p. Sid and cheers to John Lyndon
Me too :-D
Bet it got BANNED!!!😂
