	Movies - Spider-Man

Spider-Man is an animated television series that ran from September 9, 1967 to June 14, 1970. It was originally produced in Canada and was the first animated adaptation of the Spider-Man comic book series. It first aired on the ABC television network in the United States but went into syndication at the start of the third season.

It featured the adventures of Marvel Comics most famous character and it has proven to be the most famous, as well as the final, production by Grantray-Lawrence Animation. The first season followed the comics with some fidelity with at least two direct adaptations of stories by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

The second and third seasons were produced at a dramatically reduced budget by Krantz Films under Ralph Bakshi. This cost cutting is most apparent with two episodes reusing almost the entire footage from two Rocket Robin Hood
episodes as well as remaking previous episodes with minimal changes. In addition, the episodes took a darker tone with darkly colored settings and atmospheric music.

Theme song

In particular, the theme song of the show has become a popular standard. The lyrics were written by Academy Award winner Paul Francis Webster, while the music was composed by Bob Harris, Stu Phillips, and D. Kapross. The song begins "Spider-Man, Spider-Man / Does whatever a spider can". Variations on the song were used in the 2002 Spider-Man
film.

The song has been covered by:

Aerosmith for the soundtrack of the 2002 film adaptation (albeit with semi-altered lyrics).
Apollo 440 for the original Spider-Man game created for PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, N64 and PC by Neversoft.
Michael Bublé
for the soundtrack of the 2004 sequel.
The punk band The Distillers have also recorded their own unique version for the Spider-Man 2
console game.
The Hyannis Sound on their Aged 10 Years album.
Brian May reinterpretated the theme for the 1995 BBC Radio 1 serial.
Moxy Früvous in the 1993 album Bargainville.
The Mr. T Experience on their 1989 album Big Black Bugs Bleed Blue Blood.
The Ramones as a hidden track in the vinyl version of their 1995 album Adios Amigos! and their 1996 album Greatest Hits Live
String Cheese Incident play an extended instrumental version during concerts.
Somewhat unfaithfully by Tenacious D at concerts.
Remixed by Norwegian group Ugress on their 2002 album Resound.
