Paul Anka - Rock Swings

#1 Post by herts101 »

Check out the sample of Paul Anka (never heard of him but apparently he was one of the writers of My Way by Frank Sinatra), singing It's A Sin.

Truly appalling!

Paul Anka is enough famous for other things, not about "My way" Only. However I never heard It's a sin singed by him. I'll go in the link to listen it. Thx ;-)

It's by far the bestcover of It's a sin to date. Plenty of metal bands cover it, but this version sees the song from a completely different angle

Yo, Mr. Dopeman, you think your slick;
Ya sold crack to my sister, and now she's sick.
But if she happens to die, because of your drug;
Im puttin' in your culo, a .38 slug!

He wrote nauseating lounge classics like "Diana", "My way", "You're having my baby"-I read he once lost his dentures while singing in a Las Vegas casino :o
