SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:56 Min.
The original 1975-1979 ABC/CBS TV opening theme is credited to Norman Gimbel and Charles Fox, as it clocks a 1:41 running time. For this extended cover rendition (including both lead and back-up vocals), the tune is provided by The Allen Toussaint Orchestra for its 2013 15 Superhero Themes album.
REVIEW:
At most, it’s serviceable. This well-intentioned cover is a decent mix of glorified karaoke and synthesizer-like sound. Thankfully, there are better renditions out there.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
Note: The vintage Norman Gimbel-Charles Fox TV tune (including the vocals and sound effects) appears on 2010’s DC Comics: The 75th Anniversary album.
