Staunch Moderates Step Away From Their Usual Musical Output With Spoken Word Track, ‘Frank & The Rat Pack’

Staunch Moderates, known musically as DJ Staunch & The Bigfoots, release a track right out of left field with the spoken word track, ‘Frank And The Rat Pack’.

Stepping temporarily way from their advocation for shared societal goals, pay homage to Frank Sinatra and the legendary Rat Pack in a biographical track featuring GTS and Casanova Ace. It’s backed by a modern, jazzy piano melody and bouncing beat, while setting the stage for a spoken-word recount of the group’s history layered with flattery.

The track dips into the impact of Sinatra and fellow Rat Packers Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, among others. It’s a lighthearted treat for the ears, no matter if you’re a Sinatra fan, a music history buff, or simply someone who enjoys music.

The accompanying music video features retro-inspired clips that complement the buoyant vibe of the song. If you know New Jersey at all, you’re bound to enjoy the mention of Sinatra having been born in Hoboken – a fact mentioned not once, but twice in the track. It’s sophisticated and yet a whole lot of fun, reflecting the effortless way with which The Rat Pack themselves blended music, comedy, and charm.
