The popularity of the song likely peaked after Peggy Lee sang the song during The Ed Sullivan Show in 1960. Many jazz and cabaret singers covered the song in the following years, and its title was eventually changed to “Fly Me to the Moon”. The first commercially recorded performance of “In Other Words” was done by Kate Ballard and was released under the record label Decca in April 1954 as a flipside to another song titled “Lazy Afternoon”. Felicia Sanders was the first person to sing the song publically and did so in a famous New York club called the “Blue Angel”. The original title of this cabaret ballad was “In Other Words” and was written in a 3/4 time signature, but later changed to 4/4 when re-arranged by Quincy Jones in 1964.
“Fly Me to the Moon” was originally written and composed by American Jazz musician Bart Howard. In the 2019 Netflix re-release of the series, “Fly Me to the Moon” was replaced with a section of “Rei I”, a piece from Evangelion’s soundtrack. One particular noteworthy trait of this ending theme is that each episode used a different variation of the song’s arrangement and/or vocalist to create a track that was unique for each episode’s ending.
