[Dixielandjazz] Neil Hefti

[Robert Ringwald]

This from a vocal email list.



Neal Hefti  



I'm sure it's been mentioned here before (maybe by me), but years ago Jimmy Bryant told me a tale about the recording of the theme for the TV series of Batman. Jimmy, of course, sings the ultra-high note at the end. He told me that Neal Hefti came into the studio with the sheet music at the top of which was written: Word & Music by Neal Hefti.



Just in case someone doesn't get the joke, the lyric goes like this:





Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman



Batman, Batman, Batman



Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da



Batman!
