Superheroes: Bam! Pow! It's Batman! 1966 was the year, in both the arrival of the spoofy Batman TV series, as well as tons of singles to document it. Plenty of novelty songs, some garage, some soul, some surprises. Are you man (or woman) enough to sit through this juvenile idiocy? Then yes, you too are a superhero!

Was I misinformed from this site? https://nwmusicarchives.com/artist/rocky-and-the-riddlers/ A trusty listener tells me Rocky and Bullwinkle were a creation of Jay Ward...not Hanna-Barbera. You'd think the Northwest Music Archives would be more accurate about this Seattle band!
