1824 Off briefly returned with better reception, noise floor still pretty high

1830 "Sewer Lady" Neil Hefti and Orchestra, a real struggle for Shazam to ID's these with noise

1834 Unid Instrument, slipping more often beneath noise
1835 Burt Ward as Robin shouting some "Holy" phrases over background instrumental music

SINPO=32222, with loud ute buzz right over signal, making clear copy tricky during fades down.

1847- Batman Theme Song.
1848- OM talking about all the Batman songs, many being unauthorized, and the last one being Nelson Little. IDs prior ones, including Catwoman, Ray Martin, The Bat Boys, Al Cooper's Blues Project, etc. Didn't catch any ID due to loud QRM.
1850- Batman Theme by The Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale.

1905- Back to check and still going strong, now SINPO=33222, with an instrumental surf rock 50s sounding tune.
1906- Batman Theme by Hollywood Session Singers.

I wonder if they played The Who's cover of the "Batman Theme"? They recorded it just after their first trip to the States. It's a room-rattler. Of course, The Jam, had to cover the Who's cover in the late 70's. Paul Weller was obsessed with the Who and the Kinks.

Pig - The Who recorded "The Batman Theme" in 1966.  Their first US tour was in 1967, part of tour with Fifth Dimension, the first show in March at RKO in New York City.
