Top 100 Music videos - No. 85 - Sid Vicious - My Way

Sid Vicious cover of a famous Frank Sinatra song My Way is a clear an example as there is for what the late Sex Pistol star and their Punk movement stood for. Defiance for conventional ideas of music and behaviour, this cover changes something slow into an ironically fast and quick venture, much like Vicious' life which ended age 22 after a drug overdose. Supposedly it was hard to film the video as Vicious was a tough man to work with, and was also at that point was heavily addicted to Heroin, and died not long after the videos release. The video had the singer wearing a suit singing in an odd fashion to footage of a crowd from a more traditional style concert.
