READY, FIRE, AIM: Fly Me to the Moon
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… — from “Fly Me to the Moon”, originally titled “In Other Words”, written in 1954 by Bart Howard.
Flying to the moon was not a “thing” yet in 1954, when Bart Howard’s publisher asked him to stop writing grandiose lyrics and just say what he means. So he spent 20 minutes writing a song with a simple message: Hold my hand.
Hold my hand
The rest of the song is slightly silly. As far as anyone can tell, there’s no such thing as “spring” on Jupiter and Mars. But hand-holding and kissing are real.
Howard was not completely off base. 15 years later, a few people did in fact fly to the moon during the Apollo space program. If any hand-holding or kissing took place relative to those journeys, we never heard about it.
One thing for sure: hand-holding and kissing are a lot cheaper than flying to the moon.
