Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:21pm BronwynB:

@uncle michael: thought the same thing, though the very beginning of that track sounded like batman louvin brothers-style
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:21pm Uncle Michael:

If Al Hirt had played this when I went to his club in NOLA, all might not have been lost. What a clip joint.

{Batman, Robin, climbing wall on bat-rope. Window opens, Joe Belock pops out}

Robin: Holy Blind Shakes, Batman, it's the People's Champ!

Batmans Right you are, old chum. He's protecting the city's airwaves just like we're protecting the city streets.

Joe: Hi there, Batman and Robin. Could you hold this plug for a minute? I'm trying to get the cord for my headphones untangled.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:28pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Uggh, sorry about that.

good one parq!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:35pm Uncle Michael:

The fact that West and Shatner never did dinner theater "Odd Couple" is kind of tragic.
Avatar 12:36pm Joe B:

wow that would have been awesome. no script, just the two of them fighting over which one is felix and which one is oscar

Avatar 🎸 12:39pm David Shortell:

They couldn't get Burt Ward for that "Tickler" track, apparently.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:40pm Ken From Hyde Park:

I like in the Batman movie where he just happened to have a can of shark repellent spray in his utility belt.
OTOH, the TV episode where the they were about to be eaten by a giant clam gave me nightmares.
  12:41pm P-90:

Farewell, beloved Bat Dude...
  12:42pm frenchee:

@Parq, I can totally picture that Belock moment
  12:42pm Bluesman:

Ken, the delivery is priceless. Batman grunts: "Bat...shark...repellent!"
  12:43pm pinto bean:

Fitting tribute to the only Batman that matters
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:43pm Parq:

Joe, UM, throw in Jack Lord as Speed or Murray, and you got a real dust-up.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:47pm blee:

So interesting to know that this is members of Sun Ra's Arkestra
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 12:47pm Ken From Hyde Park:

When the TV series played, a blurb on the screen said "In Color." Our TV was black and white and I'd yell "No, it isn't!"
  12:48pm KP:

Holy B, as in Belock!
  12:51pm Dennis Diken:

great going Joe! do you have Sam Chalpin's version of "Batman" on hand?

Joe, do you have any of the Nelson Riddle TV soundtrack stuff you could play?
  12:56pm frenchee:

That was bat-tastic!
Avatar 12:57pm Claw!:

too bad Wesley Willis' "I Whooped Batman's Ass" isn't exactly radio-friendly...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 12:57pm Dominick:

Has anyone mentioned the Penguins winning the cup?
Coincidence?

OH SHIT!
  1:05pm Adam:

"Batman" by Voivod, please :) ?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 1:07pm Parq:

Dominick, deadly perceptive of you.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 1:08pm Parq:

I can't remember what show, but I remember seeing Jan and Dean do their version on TV.
  1:09pm greektitan:

There's a Voivod cover of the Batman theme as a bonus track on the Dimension Hatross album, but maybe that's the wrong kind of band for this show?
  1:09pm Bluesman:

Joe - for moment there I thought you were going to need some Bat Throat Spray!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:10pm paul b:

Sorry was away for a few minutes have you played the Jam's version of the Batman theme yet?
  1:11pm greektitan:

I didn't realize someone mentioned the Voivod cover before I posted something about it.
  1:15pm Dean:

Looks like "Look Out for the Batman" was performed, nominally, by The Merriettes: https://www.discogs.com/Merriettes-Its-The-Batman/release/1152714

The artist associated with the group, Tony Eira, appears in a Copyright Catalog for 1967 under a different name, Antonio Teixeira, Jr.: http://bit.ly/2rj9cG6 Evidently, Eira was a jazz bassist.
  1:16pm Larry from Westwood:

Great show. Working from home and digging the show. How cool that Dennis D of the Smithereens is listening!
Avatar 1:19pm Joe B:

thanks dean for the info. also thanks for the requests i couldn't get to, sorry!

  1:30pm frenchee:

I love the "new" Dion album.
Avatar 1:32pm Carmichael:

Are the Osmonds sitting in with Zappa?!?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 1:34pm Parq:

Miss Miriam has been getting a lot of good press on the Dion release, and deservedly so. The prevailing tone seems to be that the execs who shot down the album in the sixties were a gang of money grubbing pinheads -- which, I'm sure, is accurate.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:37pm mrdonutsu:

Holey Osmond Crap! www.youtube.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:38pm Guido from Cologne:

Killer set!
Osmonds! ... who would have believed!
Avatar 1:38pm Joe B:

and that was from the donny and marie pilot. it got picked up even with that!
Avatar 1:39pm Joe B:

thanks guido!
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 1:41pm Parq:

Tragically, it was probably picked up because of that.
Avatar 1:42pm Claw!:

I *just* got my swag from the postman, and I am excited!
Avatar 1:43pm WO Town Wick:

That Dion album is so good. Beautiful sound--nice physical package to the record, too. My 70+ year-old uncle was visiting this weekend and I played it for him -- blew his mind.
Avatar 1:43pm Claw!:

this tomato sticker is hella cute... now to agonize over what to stick it on... decisions, decisions!

"Its not my fault" They xeroxed the melody, the riff or whatchamacallit
  1:55pm jt:

Loved the Batman at the beginning of the show, took me back.. damn. That was good t.v. Is Tv still this good? I haven't watched in 20 years.
  2:06pm Anonymous Coward:

Hey HEY, as Krusty would say - Madder Rose in the house!
  2:06pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

It feels like summer alright! I'm checking in from deep inside the NJ pine barrens. 100 F here in S Jersey but we have a cold river, cold beers & cool tunes from TCM.
