Bowie’s version was never released, but Paul Anka bought the rights to the original French version and rewrote it into “My Way”, the song made famous by Frank Sinatra in 1969. The success of the Anka version prompted Bowie to write “Life on Mars?” as a parody of Sinatra’s recording.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
