The Super Moon, 11:45Pm May 5, 2012, Jeddah

My father has a golden voice and when he sing this song, you’d thought he’s the original artist, hahaha.
When I was little I used to sing this too with my father.
And even now I love to sing it.

Fly Me to the Moon” is a popular standard song written by Bart Howard in 1954. It was originally titled “In Other Words“, and was introduced by Felicia Sanders in cabarets. The song became known popularly as “Fly Me to the Moon” from the first line of the B verse, and after a few years the publishers changed the title to that officially.

Association with space travel

• Frank Sinatra’s 1964 recording was played by the astronauts of Apollo 10 on their lunar-orbital mission and again on the moon itself by the astronaut Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 landing.^[4]
• Yi So-Yeon, a spaceflight participant from South Korea who flew aboard Soyuz TMA-12 reported in a post-mission news conference that she had sung “Fly Me to the Moon” for the other crew members while in space.
• On July 20, 2009, Diana Krall performed the song at the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 commemoration ceremony held at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The three astronauts from the Apollo 11 mission were in the audience.

Appearance in film, television and other media

• Frank Sinatra performed the song on the TV show Sinatra (1969), where he dedicated it to the Apollo astronauts “who made the impossible possible”.
