Batman Theme - Link Wray

Rockabilly show-off Link Wray wires up the Batcave, close-mikes the large Bat speakers for a clean Bat sound and punches holes in the Bat tweeters for a dirty Bat sound. Kerrrr-chang!

Holy fuzz tone distortion, Batman.

Hail Mary, Robin.

Along with Elvis Presley (that other post war right wing, crime fighting, cape wearing Pop hero), Batman is the American Zen Riddle: he can be both cool and schlocky.

"Vicky Vale" "She's great, isn't she?"

Robin's Theme - Sun Ra & The Blues Project

Phil Spector session men Sun Ra, Al Kooper and Steve Katz along with the 'Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale' cash-in on the '66 Batman Comeback Special and wah-wah wax lyrical about the Boy Wonder.

Give me a good mix, Batman. Mix it hot.

I'm mixing it over the red, Robin.

And don't question the Dynamic Duo's relationship. It's commercial art, there's no subtext and Batman is a father figure.

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

We dig Marvel and DC. We dig Run DMC. We dig Renegade Soundwave and AC/DC.
