I would like to add that all though it is true that Frank Sanatra did record "Fly Me To The Moon". It was originally written by a Bart Howard for the 1954 movie "Once Around" with the original title "In Other Words". 1962 Joe Harnell revived the song with the title "Fly Me To The Moon" which became one of the biggest hits of the bossa nova wave, and in 1963 Shirley Bassey's recording made it a bigger hit as well. Frank recorded his version one year later in 1964. But his version is the most famous because it was played to the Apollo 11 crew on their historic first landing on the moon, becoming the first song to transmitted there. But after hearing it as the ending theme tune for EVA, I now will always visualize seeing Rei spinning round in her whirlpool upside down whenever I hear it again in any version. There's your proof that EVA causes brain damage. Wink
