Fly me to the moon ...
Frank Sinatra, another old sweet singing bird!! My late beloved father love him dearly and I do sing many of his songs.
"Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", is a song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. Kaye Ballard made the first recording of the song in 1954. Since then it has become a frequently recorded jazz standard often featured in popular culture. Frank Sinatra's 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon.
In 1999, the US-based Songwriters Hall of Fame recognized the importance of "Fly Me to the Moon" by inducting it as a "Towering Song"[1] which is an award "...presented each year to the creators of an individual song that has influenced our culture in a unique way over many years.”[2]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1954, when writing the song which would become "Fly Me to the
Moon", Bart Howard had been pursuing a career in music for more than 20
years.[3] He played piano to accompany cabaret singers but also wrote songs with Cole Porter, his idol, in mind.[4] In response to a publisher's request for a simpler song,[5] Bart Howard wrote a cabaret ballad in waltz time[6]
which he titled "In Other Words". A publisher tried to make him change
some lyrics from "fly me to the moon" to "take me to the moon" but
Howard refused to do this.[7] Many years later Howard commented that "... it took me 20 years to find out how to write a song in 20 minutes".[7]
He used his position as a piano accompanist and presenter at the Blue Angel cabaret venue to promote the song,[5] and it was soon introduced in cabaret performances by Felicia Sanders.[4]

"Fly Me to the Moon" has often been used or referenced in popular
culture including television shows, films and video games. In 1967 an
episode of I Dream of Jeannie was titled "Fly Me to the Moon".[36] In the 1978-82 series WKRP in Cincinnati, character Jennifer Marlowe's doorbell plays the song.[37] In 1998 Sesame Street featured Tony Bennett performing a parody of the song for an action sequence in which the show's character Slimey the Worm took a trip to the moon.[38] The song has been featured in film soundtracks, including the 1987 film Wall Street[39] and the 2001 films Space Cowboys and Bridget Jones's Diary.[40]
Multiple modern recordings of "Fly Me to the Moon" were individually
used as the end of each episode for the closing credits of the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion,
as well as the basis for several background non-vocal themes used in
the TV show. The song was also used extensively in the 2009 video game Bayonetta.[41] In 2014, the song was played in the scene of the movie RoboCop where the main protagonist was waking up after being made into a cyborg.
Frank Sinatra's 1964 recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" became closely associated with NASA's Apollo space program. A copy of the song was played on the Apollo 10 mission which orbited the Moon.[42] It became the first music heard on the Moon when played on a portable cassette player by Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin after he stepped onto the Moon.[43] The song’s association with Apollo 11 was reprised many years later when Diana Krall sang it at the mission's 40th anniversary commemoration ceremony.[44] She also sang a “slow and solemn version” in 2012 at the national memorial service for Apollo 11 mission commander Neil Armstrong.[45]
Song Lyrics
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, baby kiss me
Fill my heart with song and
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words, I love you
Fill my heart with song and
Let me sing for ever more
You are all I long for
All I worship and adore
In other words, please be true
In other words
In other words, I love you
