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 Make Me Feel So Young
Rat Pack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me feel as though Spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide and seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
You and I
Are just like a couple of tots
Running across a meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm going to feel the way I do today
Because you make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
You make me feel as though spring has sprung
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go and play hide and seek
I wanna go and bounce the moon
Just like a toy balloon
You and I
Are just like a couple of tots
Running across a meadow
Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young
You make me feel there are songs to be sung
Bells to be rung
And a wonderful fling to be flung
And even when I'm old and gray
I'm going to feel the way I do today
Because you, you make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
You make me feel so young
Ooh you make me feel so young
" You Make Me Feel So Young" is a Rat Pack classic written by lyricist Mack Gordon and composer Josef Myrow in 1946. It is a timeless love song that captures the feeling of being in love and youthful. The song was first performed by the famous American singer and actress, Peggy Lee, in 1946, and it went on to be covered by several other artists, including Sinatra, who made it a popular hit in the 1950s.
The first stanza of the song describes how the presence of the person being talked about makes the singer feel young and vivacious, as though they have just entered spring. The second stanza mentions how the voice of this person makes the singer want to play and break loose from any boundaries, much like a child wanting to indulge in childish activities like playing hide and seek and bouncing a toy balloon. The third stanza is about how the two individuals in question are like two children running around carefree in a meadow, picking flowers and being playful. The fourth and final stanza tells how the person mentioned in the song makes the singer feel as though there is plenty of life ahead of them to experience, even in old age.
In essence, the lyrics capture the eternal cycle of love and youthful playfulness, which creates an eternal feeling of bliss experienced by the singer. The beautiful melody that Joseph Myrow wrote, coupled with Mack Gordon's beautiful words, captures the joys of being in love and the exuberance of youth.
