SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:11 Min.
Credited to Arthur Korb, this 1966 novelty tune appears on the 2016 compilation album, Music of DC Comics, Volume 2. It’s performed in a groovy 60’s lounge/barbershop act style. Sung in character as if it’s the Justice League roll call time, the line-up supposedly consists of Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Batman, Flash, Plastic Man, and Metamorpho. Dialogue setting up a Justice League mission is also included.
Note: The same album also offers Korb’s other brief 1966 odes to Metamorpho and Wonder Woman.
REVIEW:
Directed at the most undemanding of kiddie fans, this tune could well be the most dreadful three minutes in super-hero recording history. Amazingly, Arthur Korb’s tribute to Wonder Woman is possibly even worse – its sole asset is that dreck is only half the length of this JLA parody. Like the other two Korb ‘hits’ on this album, this cringe-worthy JLA role call is a moldy slice of pop culture cheese.
BRIAN’S 10-STAR RATING: 3 Stars
