Prattman on Batman

October 17th, 2008

I couldn’t let the week close without paying tribute to Neal Hefti, who composed this catchy little ditty that still brings a nostalgic tug to my heart as well as my ears.

    What? Holy Grim Reaper, Batman! First Steve Jobs look Grim, then Levi, now Neal? I love how you use the exact same wording as you did for Levi!

    You’ll have to do a longer blog with some other tunes from that year. I’d argue that 1964 through 1968 were uniformly fantastic, but if I had to narrow it down, it would be 1965 to 1967 for sheer, blow-your-socks off incredibly good music. Then came the seventies … YEESH!
