As of 2007, Joey Bishop is the only male member of the Rat Pack who is still alive.
2) In 1984, RAT PACK singer/founder Matt Ratt was covering the vocal duties for Rich Kids on LSD, while singer Jason Sears was away on "medical leave". During this time Rich Kids on LSD was signed on to record for the now infamous"NARDCORE" album on Mystic Records. Just prior to recording, Jason returned from his leave of absense. So left with the dilema of an album to record, and suddenly no band, Matt was told to throw something together quickly and record for the album anyway. So after a few rehearsals with Chris Rest and Alpo D.(borrowed from Rich Kids on LSD) Dave Casillas from STALAG 13 and Mike Torres from NARTHEX STRUCTURE, RAT PACK was born! Although originaly only meant to be a recording project for the NARDCORE album, RAT PACK ended up doing three records for Mystic, 1985's self titled 7", 1987's "Ice Cream Acid and Cigarettes" 7" and 1990's self titled full length Lp. Through the years RAT PACK has gone through long periods of hibernation, with many line up changes...people that have played in and recorded with RAT PACK include current and former members of bands such as NOFX, SOCIAL DISTORTION, STALAG 13, ADOLESCENTS, D.I., SUGAR CULT, HOLLYWOOD HATE, FOO FIGHTERS, Rubber Neck, LAGWAGON, Rich Kids on LSD, NO USE FOR A NAME, and ME FIRST AND THE GIMME GIMMES.
Hey There
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there, you on that high flying cloud
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday she'll come to you
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear and out the other?
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string
break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear?
Are you too much in love to hear?
Is it all going in one ear and out the other?
The Rat Pack's Hey There is a song about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The song is directed towards someone whom the singer thinks is too wise to be fooled by love but is still in love with a woman who doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The person is described as having stars in his eyes, which can be interpreted as a sign of longing and hope, but the singer reminds him that his love interest won't even throw a crumb his way. Despite this, the person still clings to the belief that someday she'll come around.
The singer advises the person to forget the woman as she is haughty and wouldn't care if he breaks the string that she has him dancing on. The singer offers this advice like a brother and questions if the person is too blind to see the truth. The repetitive chorus in the song "Hey there" further emphasizes the urgency of the advice being given. The overall mood of the song is melancholic and regretful, amplifying the pain associated with unrequited love.
