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.
You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're nobody 'till somebody cares
You may be king, you may possess the world
And it's gold but gold won't bring you
Happiness when you're growing old
The world still is the same
As sure as the stars shine above
You're nobody 'till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The world still is the same
You'll never change it
As sure as the stars shine above
Well, you're nobody 'till somebody loves you
So find yourself somebody to love
The Rat Pack's song "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" is a poignant reminder of the fact that love is the one thing that truly brings happiness in life. The song's opening verses sound somber and depressing as it highlights the fact that without someone to love, life can feel empty and meaningless. The song speaks directly to the heart, suggesting that no matter how rich, famous or high-status a person may be in life, they will always feel incomplete without the love and affection of another human being. The lyrics go on to illustrate this point by describing the futility of materialistic pursuits, reminding listeners that no amount of wealth or possessions can fill the void of loneliness and isolation that comes from not having somebody to love.
The song finishes on an upbeat note, encouraging listeners to go out and find someone to love, to change their world and to make them feel worthy and valued. The message of the song is clear: love is the most important thing in life, and without it, we're nothing.
