Does anybody know what the title of the ep refers to?
As a freshly Sinatra-addict I stumbled over the song "Just one of those things" (written by Cole Porter), and there is a line referring to "A trip to the moon". The lyrics seem pretty adequate, I think. Here they are:
It was just one of those things Just one of those crazy flings One of those bells that now and then rings Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights Just one of those fabulous flights A trip to the moon on gossamer wings Just one of those things
If we'd thought a bit about the end of it When we started painting the town We'd have been aware that our love affair Was too hot not to cool down
So good-bye, dear, and amen Here's hoping we meet now and then It was great fun But it was just one of those things
So what d'you think?

The title is derived from the original Honeymooners series, where Ralph was always threatening to send Alice "to the moon". And it meshed so nicely with the Blue Moon name.
Nice song, but probably not involved in the derivation. As a total Sinatra fanatic, I can tell you if you delve further, you will find he did lots of songs that are reminiscent of David and Maddie.....gotta love romance....and torture....and romance!

Thank you Diane, for your expert knowledge! I didn't know that.
About the many songs from "The Voice" you're right, I noticed that too. Gotta love them!

A thought on this... I always thought that the theme song referencing "the sun and moon" was a metaphor for Maddie (the sun) and David (the moon). In this episode David brings Maddie flowers, he says "These need some sun". And Maddie is on "trip to the moon" in the sense that she is in this relationship with David (the moon). He is in control from the standpoint of he knows he feels, and Maddie does not. David is "driving the bus" as discussed on the re-watching board.
