Ready, Fire, Aim: Fly Me to the Moon
The song "Fly Me to the Moon", originally titled "In Other Words", was written in 1954 by Bart Howard. The lyrics include:
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, baby, kiss me…The song's message is simple: Hold my hand. Although the idea of flying to the moon was not possible in 1954, it became a reality 15 years later during the Apollo space program.
Despite the romantic notions in the song, hand-holding and kissing are a lot cheaper than flying to the moon. As Bart Howard's publisher suggested, he stopped writing grandiose lyrics and just said what he means, resulting in a song with a mixture of silly and real sentiments.
