We got a two-fer Thursday! "Batman" had become a national phenomenon within a couple of months of its premiere on ABC. These two versions of the theme each peaked this week in '66. The original was from Neil Hefti, who also composed "The Odd Couple" theme for TV. The higher charting version was by the Wrecking Crew, working as the Mar-Ketts. I'm almost sure the legendary Hal Blaine played the outrageous drum part.
