D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Batman Returns!
If you’re a regular follower of the Arf-Lovers blog (known henceforth as Super ITCH) you know that yours truly, D.J. David B., is a big fan of the Batman TV show and its accompanying Batman Theme. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there has never been a bigger phenomenon than the 1966 Batman series.
If you want to sum up the Sixties it goes like this: 1. Beatles 2. Batman. 3. Woodstock. That’s it. Then came the Seventies and I don’t remember what came after that.
Man! I wish I had a version of the Batman Theme by The Beatles (wouldn’t that be the perfect combination?) but lots of other notable artists covered the song and I’ll be getting to them in the Tuesdays ahead. (I probably have enough to last several decades at the rate I’m going.) This one is by an obscure Italian group called The Bam-Bams. I’m assuming they take their name from Fred and Wilma’s offspring which makes this a cartoon tune in two categories!
The most significant aspect of this Bat-tune is its brevity. Just 35 seconds! Yet the Bam-Bams pack a lot of Bat-power into every one of ‘em. Just listen!

Next week, tune in for more. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.
