4. Batman (1966)
All together now… ‘Nana nana nana nana nana nana nana nana Batman’! Everyone knows it, even if they’ve never watched the show. This song transcends the actors, plot and time it was written. It gives the same kind of summary as Spider-Man and has that cool 60’s style. The simplicity is familiar and stays with you after you hear it. It’s really perky and bright sounding. I would call it gloom deficient! So many superhero series take themselves too seriously these days.
A very enjoyable read! ;o) I pretty much agree with all of your your pics. I would have loved to see ‘Wonder Woman’ on there going to bat for the girls out there. That said, maybe that could go on the list for the most ‘time specific lyrics’ in a theme tune. I mean ‘fighting for your rights, in her satin tights’?? How truly 70s.lol
Look forward to more from you.
Agreed Aniva…a good pair of underwear/tights make such a difference lol. Enjoyed your article bought a few old tunes from my youth back to memory (Teen turtles). Thunder Cats another one of my favs…
