Frank Sinatra did not write Fly Me To The Moon

The internet is loaded with stuff like this:

Fly Me To The Moon “by” Frank Sinatra.

Shame on you, Pandora.

Sinatra may have had the hit, but he didn’t write the song.

A guy named Bart Howard did.

To me, this is about as bad as looking at the Facebook page of one of New York City’s most venerable restaurants and finding a picture of colorful little French macarons with the title “MACAROONS.”

Probably one of those erroneous spell-checker “corrections”…but still.

As some of you may know, I was once a restaurant critic.

I wonder what New York Magazine’s Adam Platt makes of this sort of thing.

Psst…Adam, call me!
