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.
Oh Marie
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dear you I'm serenading,
My love you've been evading,
No wonder I am blue...Oh listen to my pleading,
Your nearness I am needing,
It's time that you were heeding,
My offering to you...We` Marie, we` Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perso per te,
We` Marie, we` Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perse per te,
Famme` durmi, we` Marie, we` Marie..
We` Marie, we` Marie,
Quanto sonno agiu perse per te,
Famme` durmi, we` Marie, we` Marie!
The lyrics to Rat Pack's song "Oh Marie" portray a deep longing for a woman named Marie. The singer is serenading her at the end of the day and expressing his love, which has been evaded by her. He pleads for her attention and proximity, stating that he needs her nearness. The repetition of the words "we Marie" and "quanto sonno agiu perso per te" creates a sense of passionate desire and yearning, as well as a melancholy tone due to the ongoing theme of loss and missed opportunities.
The line "famme durmi, una notte abbraciata cu te" translates to "let me sleep, one night embraced with you," further emphasizing the desire for physical closeness with Marie. The singer's offering to her, which is mentioned in the fourth line, highlights his willingness to give his all to her, emotionally and physically. The use of Italian in the lyrics adds an exotic and romantic flair to the song and further emphasizes the theme of longing and desire.

An actual joke made by Sinatra and Martin at the Sands.
Sinatra (holding a bottle): Hey Dean, how do you make a fruit cordial?
Dean (drinking). Hm?
Sinatra: I said how do you make a fruit cordial?
Martin: Be nice to him!
@jimihendrix1575
I was singing "Hey there fruity" all day at work. I have a meeting with HR in the morning.
@sc1077

@damasek219
Do I understand correctly that HR means Horrible Rat?
@cardboardheadguy7814
No it Human Resources
@jjlax7
Jesus I’m dead. I lost it. Well played, sir.
@brenthill3241
Well then it's sensitivity training or time to polish up that resume.
@Badgerthegreat
I love the fact that they seem to be performing all these songs in the same venue, implying that the Rat Pack got together for a one-night live concert dedicated solely to bigotry.
@greensonickid3304
By the looks of it, the ad is filmed there as well
@thesmithersy
Of course, back then. That language was acceptable.
@Norvo82
You mean like an actual Rat Pack show from the late 50s and 60s? There are plenty of recordings of those Vegas performances that make this clip seem tame. Frank and Dean's on stage banter was something else...
