"Fly Me to the Moon", chamada originalmente de "In Other Words", é uma canção muito popular escrita por Bart Howard em 1954, gravada naquele mesmo ano por Kaye Ballard. A canção acabou por se tornar uma espécie de jazz standard, sendo referenciada por diversas vezes em obras na cultura popular. A versão gravada por Frank Sinatra no ano de 1964 foi associada com frequência ao contexto do Programa Apollo, que levou o ser humano à lua naquela mesma década.
Doris Mary Ann von Kappelhoff, conhecida como Doris Day (Cincinnati, 3 de abril de 1922), é uma cantora e atriz americana das mais populares nas décadas de 1950 e 1960. Como atriz e cantora brilhou em Ardida como Pimenta (BR) (em inglês Calamity Jane), no qual além de interpretar a personagem do Velho Oeste Jane Calamidade cantou Secret Love (que recebeu um Oscar de melhor canção).
Outro sucesso foi Que sera, sera, tema de O Homem que sabia demais (BR) com James Stewart. Mas no filme Ama-me ou Esquece-me, que fez com James Cagney em 1955, teve a oportunidade de cantar um extenso rol de canções românticas, ao interpretar uma cantora da vida real. Nos anos 60 faria sucesso em comédias românticas co-estreladas por Rock Hudson.
Seu papel mais frequente era a da sexy ingênua, que vivia assediada por homens que usavam de várias artimanhas para conquistá-la. Esse tipo levou Groucho Marx a proferir uma de suas mais célebres frases: "Conheci Doris Day quando ela ainda não era virgem".
Foi casada quatro vezes e teve um filho, Terry Melcher, que faleceu em 2004. Desde a morte dele, Doris leva uma vida reclusa e solitária, dedicando-se exclusivamente à proteção de animais na Doris Day Pet Foundation, trabalho que vem realizando há várias décadas.



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, hold my hand
In other words, darling, 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

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, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me

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
In other words, in other words
In other words

I love ... you

Parle-moi de mon enfance, mon vieux ruisseau
Du temps où coulait ma chance au fil de ton eau

Parle-moi des doux délires de mes tendres années
Les bleuets qui les fleurirent sont-ils à jamais fanés?
Parle-moi de ces dimanches où je venais te confier
En timide voile blanche, mes rêves de papier
Parle-moi tant que j'y pense de mon premier amour
Il était tout innocence, a-t-il duré toujours?

Parle-moi de mon enfance, mon vieux ruisseau
Du temps où coulait ma chance au fil de ton eau

Coule, coule mon enfance au fil du souvenir
C'est un jeu perdu d'avance que de la retenir
Car le vent de l'insouciance un jour lâcha ma main
Je vins pleurer en silence et larmes tu devins
Champs de roses: champs de ronces que j'avais traversés
Je viens chercher réponse, qui de vous m'a blessé?

Parle-moi de mon enfance, mon vieux ruisseau
Du temps où coulait ma chance au fil de ton eau
Je suis tombé le nez dans un rêve, c'est la faute au
ruisseau

Cœur meurtri je m'en relève, c'est la faute à son eau!

"Straighten Up and Fly Right" is a 1943 song written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills and performed by The King Cole Trio. The single was the trio's most popular single reaching number one on the Harlem Hit Parade for ten nonconsecutive weeks. The single also peaked at number nine on the pop charts. "Straighten Up and Fly Right" also reached number one for six nonconsecutive weeks on the Most Played Jukebox Hillbilly Records.
The song was based on a black folk tale that Cole's father had used as a theme for one of his sermons. In the tale, a buzzard takes different animals for a joy ride. When he gets hungry, he throws them off on a dive and eats them for dinner. A monkey who had observed this trick goes for a ride; he wraps his tail around the buzzard's neck and gives the buzzard a big surprise by nearly choking him to death.
The song was a part of the score of the 1943 film Here Comes Elmer.
The song was used in the 1995 HBO historical war drama The Tuskegee Airmen and the title was quoted by the pilots when going into battle.
The song was used in the season 4 episode of Tales from the Crypt, "Split Personality".
The song was used in NBC's drama series This Is Us, "The best washing machine in the whole world". Rebecca Pearson (played by Mandy Moore) sang the song during rehearsal.


The buzzard took the monkey for a ride in the air
The monkey thought that everything was on a square
The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off his back
But the monkey grabbed his neck and said "Now listen Jack"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top
Ain't no use in divin', what's the use of jivin'
Straighten up and fly right
Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top

The buzzard told the monkey you are chokin' me
Release your hold and I will set you free
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye
And said, "Your story's so touching but it sounds like a lie"

Straighten up and fly right
Straighten up and stay right
Straighten up and fly right

Cool down pappa, don't you blow your top

I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

Your lips are thrilling
My arms are willing
I know that I shouldn't stay
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

What would I do if she should need me
And find me kissing you?
She's always trusted me completely
Her poor heart would break in two

I must be going (Don't go)
My heart is showing (Don't go)
I better hurry away
If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?

If I don't leave I'll be sorry
What will my Mary say?
(Don't go)
(Don't go)
