#037 Pat Evans follows "The Beat of the Bat"

As we continue through the series, we notice more and more awesomeness in the Nelson Riddle incidental music- and we also have some questions about it. Pat Evans is working on getting answers to those questions as he does a series of interviews for his documentary film "The Beat of the Bat"! We discuss how Riddle's scoring for the show is more like that of a Warner Brothers cartoon than most live-action shows; how Riddle and Neal Hefti both recycled bits of past music into "new" music that's more familiar to us; Billy May's cringey lyrics to the Batgirl theme; and the burning question: should Hefti's iconic Batman theme be sung as "Nana nana" or "Dada dada"? And in the Bat Mailbag, a collage of '60s Sears-catalog Bat-crap! (Click image to zoom in) (Collages by Aaron Lange)
