I sent away for the "Electric Company Club" extras as a kid. One could subscribe to them in the Picture Pages Club. I was sooooo dissapointed they didn't send me a pen that made cool noises like Bill Cosby's pen on Picture Pages... Spider Man, however, was always my favorite part of the show!
this is too awesome! it's like the best of cheesy disco and cheesy 1970s cop/detective show theme songs all wrapped into one glorious dance hit you'd expect to hear on Solid Gold....or some discoteque scene from the Love Boat. YES!
and that "howl" at the end.....priceless.
i can also see why my thinking is so warped having been exposed to this stuff so early in life.....
@reivenlocke YEAH I can't say I remember this song, but I remember the bubbles by his mouth. LOL They oughta put that in a movie like start or end credits put some bubbles by the stars mouth scaling a wall. That would probably hit some nostalgia buttons. LOL I was hoping to see a little of that here. I really like the old cartoon theme and it only got parts of it sung badly by that oriental woman on the street corner in the 2nd movie. If this got better, that would be an injustice!!!

I used to run home from school just to make sure I didn't miss Spiderman! When I saw him on the Electric Company, it was like a Spidey Bonus for the day!!
There should be a petition for the rights to Spiderman to go bqack to Marvel so we can have a Secret Wars film. But I'll sign; because this song is on my playlist when I work out at the gym!
Wow! Was just having a little argument over what the spiderman cartoon theme song was. I was like, "you mean... Spiderman, where are you comin' from? Spiderman, nobody knows who you are?" She's like "What? No it's... Spiderman, spiderman, does whatever a spider can...". Turns out we were both right. I don't remember the singing being so WEIRD on this version... HILARIOUS. I love the whisper solo too, I don't remember that part... "Spiderman... Sss... Ssss"
They should have used this song in Spiderman 3 and made the club that Mary Jane sang in a retro-disco joint. That would have made the movie a lot better.
the new electric company is a far cry from the original!

The most ironic thing about these shorts was that Spidey never talked while he's known for his mouth.
