Chak de!

An hour ago, NASA twittered that its scientists saw chunks of white ice sublimate to gas over the last four days. May I be the first to say, Chak de! Here’s the classic Goodness Gracious Me clip. Yes, it’s about aliens.

As Diana Krall sings,

Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars…

I’m bookin’ tickets.

    but I like these lyrics of rascal flatts
    http://www.lyricsdomain.com/18/rascal_flatts/some_say.html
    “There’s that star, the one they said we’d never reach
    And just close your eyes
    There’s the missing moon, there’s the Milky Way
    Heaven’s straight ahead, we’ll be there today
    Rainbows right and left, sunshine everywhere
    If it couldn’t be baby, how did we get there?” rascal flatts some say song lyric words

    By Diana Krall you mean Frank Sinatra (et. al.), right?

    I prefer Krall’s version of the standard. King Cole’s slaaaw.

    The wise Oracle of Wikipedia will settle all disputes.

    Manish, try Sinatra’s bossa’ version - with Jobim - and you may change your mind about preferring the sound of Ms Krall. Even though she is a honey and a half to look at.

    oops. Tamasha had already posted the wikipedia link, my bad.

    i stand by my comments about Sinatra v/s Krall
