Spider-Man Vs. Batman - awesome 60s songs poll

GOOD POLL

THANX!

Occurred to me during the "eponymous movie songs" thread.

I've briefly deliberated and I'm going for Spidey, but if anyone wants to vote for Bats that's fine by me.

Me too! How odd were sixties novelty songs? "Spider-Man" seems akin to "Secret Agent Man" - they're both awash in incredible fatalism. "Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow..They've given you a number/and taken away your name"

neither of these are novelty songs though

never heard Spider-Man in full, but you can't stop me voting for Batman proudly and emphatically

Voted Batman. The theme song doesn't say anything, but it doesn't need to. He's Batman. You know who Batman is. It would be like having a song explaining what a tree is.

Is he strong? Listen, bud
He's got radioactive blood

Because I change the words of the Spiderman song to explain that he "lives in With[ernsea] in a caravan" I am voting for that.

hope they use this in the ken branargh movie:

Write-in candidate -- if Ang Lee had used this, the movie would have improved 1,000%.

Although "Spider-Man" eventually gave us "Spider-Pig" from the Simpsons movie, so that makes it kinda the obvious choice.

Voted Batman, cos its so badass that many awesome 60s garage bands covered it.

Just over a year ago I posted an article about the elusiveness of the background music from the late nineteen sixties Spiderman cartoon that was produced by Grantray-Lawrence and Krantz Films (and sometimes featured Ralph Bakshi as a director). It has gone through some serious revisions since then and you can read it here. The program enjoys cultish adoration due primarily to its incredible music score. Anyway, the basis of that article was all about how awesome the music from the show is and how impossible it seems to be to track down the original masters. Well, that problem, I am happy to say, has been solved - at least in part. The second and third season music tracks come from the KPM music library in England, they still exist, and they sound great. I did a podcast today pitting the muddy sounds of the music as it sounded beneath the dialogue and sound effects of the original show against the crystal clear master copies of the background music. The podcast also features some reminiscence from the man who provided Spiderman's voice in the series, Paul Soles.
