Best song ever

I have this as a ringtone.

This is also my ringtone, still, lmao.

With the sound effects too! I would have preferred a theme song we could have all sang along to, but this is still a big frothy cup of nostalgia.

Shirley Walker (Batman: The Animated Series) - “Bat Boat”

Batman The Animated Series was, and still is, one of my all-time favorite shows, and not just ones that are comic book related. The tremendous writing coupled with noir-style visuals and theatrics would probably have been enough in any parallel universe, but when they got Shirley Walker to help compose a dark, sweeping orchestral score to each episode, it really rocketed it into epic-tier for me. This is from the “Last Laugh” episode featuring the Joker, the whimsical tune you hear during this was the Joker’s theme, you may remember.

Batman: The Animated Series - “Alternate Main Title”

Besides this show being awesome in the 90’s and delicately rubbing my nostalgia gland, it also had some tremendous music composed by Shirley Walker. They released a limited edition soundtrack a couple years ago with the entire score of several episodes, including a fascinating tutorial by Walker detailing how she composed the main theme. Good luck finding a copy though, as Amazon has new ones listed at $107.94 right now. Yeesh, anyways, here’s an alternate take on the main title sequence.

Shirley Walker - “Music of The Bat”

Shirley Walker was a famous Hollywood composer who worked with Danny Elfman on the original Batman movie score. But she’s probably more well-known for scoring the Batman: The Animated Series music herself. This is a track from the BTAS soundtrack in which she dissects and describes the components that went into the Batman theme. Very intriguing stuff. I love learning how people construct their processes for creativity.

John Ottman - “Superman Returns: Main Titles”

Maybe it’s the childhood memories scratching that big nostalgia gland in my brain, but I really think this song just IS Superman. It totally encapsulates the concepts of heroism and standing up for what’s right, despite the insurmountable odds…..  only in music form!

And on a slight tangent, I actually had this song on a work playlist in my previous occupation. It came on one day and this guy who worked for me laughed because he couldnt believe this was on my ipod. I fired him afterwards. I KEED. We fired him for different reasons, but mostly for just general douchebaggery.
