Noah does “Fly Me to the Moon”

Well this turned out weird. I had a geometry teacher who would play oldies radio while we did math in class. That was where I heard Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman", "Only The Lonely" and "Unchained Melody". I didn't think much of Roy until I heard a Spanish cover of "Crying" in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. That made me return to his catalog and appreciate it in a new light. I didn't know that he performed a version of "Love Hurts" until late in life, (I grew up on the Nazareth version that I constantly heard in an Aspercreme commercial).

Fly Me to the Moon is such a happy song, I wanted to see if I could put Roy Orbison's sad-yet-soulful stank on it. It ended up being more, (to quote the Beastie Boys), "Intergalactic, planetary, planetary, intergalactic" than I intended, but that was a risk I was willing to take. Also, I almost gave myself a brain aneurysm while recording the horn section. Happy Thanksgiving!
