[net.tv] Spiderman Jingle

eli@uw-june (Eli Messinger) (08/21/83)

When this whole discussion of Marvel TV animations started I believe
someone made a nasty comment about the quality of the Spiderman epi-
sodes, in relation to the others.  Maybe my memory is faulty, but I
seem to remember Spidey being on simultaneously with the others (on
Captain Satellite, KTVU, Channel 2, Oakland, Ca.).

Anyway, I remember some of the jingle...

	Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can
	Spin a web, any size
	Catches crooks just like flies
	Watch out!  Here comes the Spiderman


	...
	Watch it bub
	He's got radioactive blood

D.C. comics had a "funny satorical" book in the 60's called "THE INFERIOR 5."
It was very popular then for the comic companies to make fun of each other,
so in one episode THE INFERIOR 5 met "COBWEB KID."  When COWBEB KID came into
the frame on of the INFERIOR 5 sang:

Cobweb kid, Cobweb kid,
does whatever a spider did.

				I think my boss is going to either take away
				my terminal, or have me put away.

Well, here's the pure, uncut, uncensored, unadulterated version of
the Spiderman jingle:

             ********************************

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can,
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves, just like flies,
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!

Is he strong? Listen bud,
he's got radioactive blood,
Can he swing, by a thread?
Take a look, overhead,
Hey there! Here comes the Spiderman!
 
In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime,
Like a flash(?) of light,
He arrives just in time!

Spiderman, Spiderman,
does whatever a spider can,
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves, just like flies,
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman!
LOOK OUT! Here comes the Spider-MAN!!

             ***********************************

Thanks for the response to the other cartoon jingles.  We're getting
closer, but can't anyone out there remember Thor?

Now let's see if I rememeber:

Spiderman, Spiderman does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size.
Catches thieves just like flies.
Look out here comes the Spiderman.

In the chill of night, at the scene of a crime,
Like a stream of light he arrives just in time

Spiderman ...???

???... look out bub.
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead.
Hey there, there goes the Spiderman.

Spiderman, Spiderman friendly neighbourhood Spiderman.
Welcome friends, he's ???
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big hang-up 
When you're in a hang-up
Just call the SpiderMAAAAN.

(or something like that)


And since we're on the subject, what about ROCKET ROBIN HOOD.
Who was produced by KRANTZ studios, the same dudes that did 
SPIDERMAN. 

I'll try for that theme:


(Ahem)
Band of brothers, matching together.
Heads held high in all kinds of weather.
With firy blasts our rockets roaring high
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies

We stand with Robin to the end.
The gallant hero of our band.
Sing a joyous shout throughout the land
For Rocket Robin HOOOOOD.

(I know there's more but I can't remember)
