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.
How Do You Speak To An Angel?
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm completely in the dark
When you know that you've just met an angel
Is there a proper remark
We were alone for a moment
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud
Why was I lost in a cloud
Do you speak to an angel in a whisper
Or do you just say I love you out loud
The lyrics to "How Do You Speak To An Angel" by the Rat Pack convey the singer's sense of awe and uncertainty upon encountering an angelic being.

The line "How do you speak to an angel, I'm completely in the dark" reveals the singer's uncertainty about how to approach and communicate with this extraordinary being. They are unsure if there is a specific etiquette or proper remark that should be adhered to when in the presence of an angel.
The lyrics also depict a moment of solitude shared with the angel, where the singer becomes overwhelmed and "lost in a cloud." This cloud could symbolize the singer's state of mind, clouded by awe and confusion or perhaps an actual celestial cloud enveloping the moment. The song questions whether one should speak to an angel in hushed whispers or boldly declare their love out loud. This reflects the internal struggle of the singer, torn between expressing their emotions openly and respecting the ethereal nature of the being they have encountered.
