If you guessed Fly Me to the Moon by Frank Sinatra, you are correct!
Today’s Bill Campbell What’s That Song, written by Bart Howard in 1954, is closely associated with the Apollo moon missions of the 1960s, as sung by Frank Sinatra. The original version was titled In Other Words, and first recorded by Kaye Ballard under the Fly Me to the Moon title. Others to cover Fly Me to the Moon include Chris Connor, Johnny Mathis, Portia Nelson, and Nancy Wilson.
Did you know…
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On a-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
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
