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.
Sway
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
The lyrics to Rat Pack's song "Sway" depict a romantic and intimate dance between two people. The opening lines, "When marimba rhythms start to play, Dance with me, make me sway," suggest that the music has a captivating effect on the singer, and they call upon their partner to join them in a dance that will make them both sway. The following line, "Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore, Hold me close, sway me more," uses imagery to convey the gentle and fluid nature of their movements together. The comparison to an ocean hugging the shore implies a sense of comfort and security in their embrace.
The second verse continues with the imagery of natural elements, comparing the dance to a flower bending in the breeze. The singer invites their partner to bend and sway with them effortlessly, suggesting a harmonious and synchronized connection between them. The lines, "When we dance you have a way with me, Stay with me, sway with me," imply that the partner possesses a unique ability to make the singer feel a certain way, and they desire for that feeling to continue throughout the dance.
The chorus repeats the idea that despite other dancers being present, the singer's attention is solely focused on their partner. The lyrics emphasize the partner's magical technique that induces a feeling of weakness in the singer when they sway together. The mention of violins adds a touch of elegance and romance to the scene. The plea, "Make me thrill as only you know how, Sway me smooth, sway me now," suggests a yearning for the partner to continue enchanting them and creating a moment of excitement and pleasure.
Overall, "Sway" portrays a dance that goes beyond mere movement, emphasizing the emotional connection between the dancers and the power of their chemistry in making the singer feel alive and captivated.

He's singing.
He's drinking.
He's smoking.
He's flirting.
He's flexing.
He's enjoying it.
That's a real rizz.
What a guy.
