"In Other Words" is original title of "Fly Me to the Moon", a song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. In 1954, when he began to write the song that became Fly Me to the Moon, Bart Howard had been pursuing a career in music for over 20 years. He played piano to accompany cabaret singers, but also wrote song. In response to a publisher's request for a simpler song, Bart Howard wrote a cabaret ballad which he titled "In Other Words". A publisher tried to make him change some words from "fly me to the moon" to "take me to the moon," but Howard refused. Many years later, Howard commented that "... it took me 20 years to find out how to write a song in 20 minutes."
