Ekstasy by Nina Hagen contains cover songs by Norman Greenbaum and which other Italian artist who popularized the song "My Way?"
My Way "My Way" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set to the music of the French song "Comme d'habitude" co-composed and co-written (with Jacques Revaux), and performed in 1967 by Claude François. Anka's English lyrics are unrelated to the original French song. The song was a success for a variety of performers including Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and the Sex Pistols. Sinatra's version of "My Way" spent 75 weeks in the UK Top 40, a record which still stands.

It is included as a bonus track in the reissue of the album "Mai una signora" (1974) in the "Gli album originali" box set which otherwise does not include the "Munich Album".
