With “My Way,” Miley Cyrus Pays Tribute to Bill Murray’s Comic Legacies

Miley Cyrus delivered a powerful and unexpected performance of Frank Sinatra’s classic “My Way” at the 2016 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony, where comedian Bill Murray was being honored.

Her rendition started in a traditional style with a grand piano, reflecting the song’s original waltz-like tempo. However, Miley added her unique twist, inserting witty asides and eventually transforming the performance into a rock-infused spectacle.

Miley’s performance took on a personal touch when she altered the first line to “Bill did it his way,” which resonated deeply with Murray, bringing him to tears and prompting a standing ovation. As the song progressed, Miley shocked the audience by introducing electric guitars and an energetic rock arrangement, all while wearing a silver glitterball bodycon dress.

This edgy and electrifying version of “My Way” fits into Miley’s growing repertoire of rock covers.

Her performance at the Mark Twain Prize ceremony has amassed over 3 million views on YouTube, adding to her collection of successful rock renditions, such as her covers of Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass,” Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters,” and Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here,” all of which have garnered millions of views and widespread acclaim.
