This is the idiotic headline on a HuffPost article today. What could possibly suggest to them that "Fly Me to the Moon" belongs to Frank Sinatra? Just because a singer makes a popular recording of a song doesn't mean he owns it. Hey, let's give the author some credit. The words and music to that song were written by Bart Howard in 1954. (The song was orginally known as "In Other Words.") Since then it has been recorded by many major stars, including a popular recording by Mabel Mercer. The girl on which the article is based did sing the song "like nobody's business", an expression I haven't heard in twenty years.
A second stupid headline. I noticed that HuffPost has changed its headline for the above since this morning. The new line is even stupider. It is "8-year-old's rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" would make a old bllue eyes proud." Why would it make him proud? It's not his daughter. That is such an illogical and meaningless statement. Who is HuffPost hiring these days?
