D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: More Road Runner!
Road Runner month continues with another song about that fast-moving, coyote-dodging desert bird. We’ve received comments here at I.T.C.H. HQ suggesting that these songs are not actually about the Road Runner but just a generic road runner. Au contraire, my fine feathered friend! Even though this song appears to be about a car (and [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Road Runner Returns
The response to last Tuesday’s Road Runner song was so overwhelming – we’re doing it again! In fact, I’m thinking of officially making this Road Runner Month, if for no other reason than there seem to be more songs about that speedy little bird than about any other cartoon character. (Anyhow, May will probably [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Beep Beep or Meeb Meep?
For years – decades even! – the Warner Brothers have been stating quite publicly that phrase the Road Runner says is “beep beep.” The proper title of the comic book is even Beep Beep The Road Runner. Wait. Is that supposed to be his first name? Beep Beep? And his last name is Road Runner? (I’ve heard [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Hawkman
Recently I have been accused of “phoning it in.” Of not trying hard enough. People say I’m just hacking out another post in order to meet a Tuesday deadline. Here’s the Hawkman theme! Click the link below and listen. Hawkman theme – John Gart
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Linus And Lucy Reimagined
I apologize. Last Tuesday I shared a truly horrible record. I tortured my loyal readers and you let me know loud and clear. To make up for it, I’d like to offer this gem. It’s a real GFR (great, fantastic record). With a little luck it will take the bad taste out of your [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Captain America Sings!
On some Tuesdays I present to you a comics-related treasure that blows your mind, knocks your socks off, and makes you say “Wow, what a great, fantastic rekkid!” This is not one of those times. This week I’d like to share one of the least catchy tunes I’ve heard in a long time. [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Shhhh…..
I can’t tell you about the subject of this week’s blog. Why? It’s a secret! If you know who this is, then click the link below and listen to his theme song. But keep it on the D.L. Secret Squirrel Show
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Spider-Man, By Request
It’s not often we get requests around here. Heck (yes, I said “heck”), we rarely get mail at all! And when that request comes from resident I.T.C.H. blogger Steven Thompson, you know we have to do whatever he asks! Steve (yes, I call him Steve) pointed out that we haven’t yet [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Never Too Late, Batman
Since Mattel recently announced their new line of toys based on the 1966 Batman TV show starring Adam West (47 years later!), we thought it was about time to present yet another version of the theme song, perhaps the most recorded tune in comics history. To go along with this version by The Jam, [...]
D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Honey, It’s Boo Boo!
Long before Honey Boo Boo co-opted his name and became America’s Darling, there was a honey-loving bear called Boo Boo. As Robin to Yogi’s Batman, he is that rare breed, a trusted, loyal sidekick who is always standing by with an astute comment like “Aw gee, Yogi” or “The ranger’s not going to like [...]
