Fly Me To The Moon


"Fly Me To The Moon" is a popular song originally written in the key of C major. This classic tune was composed by Bart Howard in 1954, originally titled "In Other Words." The renowned artist Frank Sinatra popularized the song with his recording in 1964, making it one of his signature songs. Interestingly, the first manned lunar landing mission, Apollo 11, played this song as their wake-up call for the astronauts on July 20, 1969. The melody of "Fly Me To The Moon" is catchy and uplifting, with a smooth and jazzy feel that perfectly complements the heartfelt lyrics.
