Aking Daan

Positive naman ang My Way. Tungkol ito sa success despite obstacles. Pero ewan nga ba kung anong misteryo meron sa kantang ito. Nababalitaan natin ang mga nabaril, nasaksak at napaaway dahil sa kantang ito. Pero di natin sure kung totoo nga ba ito.

Puwes, eto sila...ang mga tala tungkol sa impluwensya ng My Way galing sa mga balita sa Pilipinas na nakarating na rin pala sa ibang bansa.

Serna: Trimedia feted
By Roger Serna

“Commentator Choy Torralba rendered a Visayan translation of the song My Way. Was it intentional on Choy’s part to go vernacular to avoid another shooting incident? Joke!

“Manila My Way, Boss”
By Ted Lerner

“The song “My Way” is perhaps the most preferred song when the drinks start flowing and the karaoke gets turned on. The song is so popular, and singing it is taken so seriously, that dozens have literally died because of “My Way.” Perhaps someone laughed while a buddy was singing during a drinking spree, or someone didn’t like the way the guy at the other table clapped after he tried to imitate Frank. It’s always a ridiculously stupid reason but, no matter, out comes the fan knife or the pistol and wham!-it ends in a liquored-up flash, another senseless death due to “My Way.” I wondered if Frank was aware that so many had died because of that song.”
