"When Do I Get to Sing 'My Way'" is a song by American band Sparks, released on 17 October 1994 by Logic Records as the first single from their sixteenth album, Gratuitous Sax & Senseless Violins (1994). Written and produced by brothers Russell and Ron Mael of Sparks, the song references Frank Sinatra's signature song "My Way" and was a number seven hit in Germany. In the United States, it reached number nine on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, and it was also a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom. The song was re-released as a single the following year, this time peaking at number 32 in the UK. Its accompanying music video was directed by Sophie Muller, depicting the band in a 1940s black-and-white Hollywood film noir style.
