Songs in the key of Spider-Man

A couple or three years ago, a very good friend of mine found a dozen or so versions of the theme song to our favorite web-slinging hero and then burned them to a CD for me. Over the years, I have listened to the CD over and over again. Just recently I had cause to look the theme song on YouTube, and, well I simply couldn’t resist these, and neither will you.

Here is the original Spider-Man theme song, the way we heard it on TV when the cartoon originally debuted:



Here is the way The Ramones sang it:



Now re-interpreted by Weird Al Yankovic:



As sung by The Distillers:



Even Aerosmith took their own whack at the Spider-Man theme song:



The Karmacats (who?) give us a slammin’ version of Spidey’ Theme:



Michael Buble did a Jazz Remix to the theme song:



I know I posted this once before (albeit on another blog), but so long as I was posting versions of Spidey’s theme song, I figured that I’d have to include it again here (for the first time). Courtesy of the Simpsons:



This last one didn’t have embedding enabled, so here is the link.
