Meredith's rendition is perfect, and it has a nice jazzy feel unlike the rip-offs that accompanied the Batman bandwagon.Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17780519140837852601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335991334869467480.post-43738219199631556972013-02-08T16:09:02.229+00:002013-02-08T16:09:02.229+00:00Thanks - again - Rob for the always welcome commen...Thanks - again - Rob for the always welcome comments. I had completely forgotten that Burgess Meredith was in an episode of the Monkees; I have them all on DVD so I'll go watch that particular episode again now!Darryl W.

Vimcent Edwards & Ann Margaret were two other actors-turned singers who also cut recordings for Colpix (Ann-Margaret's in particular was for a 1963 Columbia Movie titled"Bye Bye Birdie", which also had the warbling style of Paul Lynde.)"The Penguin" sides were a cash-in attempt on the ABC Network's label, ABC-Paramount,later just plain ABC Records.Speaking of "Batman" exploitation recordings, what about Adam West's "Miranda" record on 20th Century Fox Records, and Burt Ward's "Boy Wonder I Love You" single on M-G-M Records(produced & arranged by the aforementioned Frank Zappa!)These Batman cash-in singles were really outrageous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
