spiderman theme song

Spider-Man was the first animated adaptation of the Spider-Man comic book series, created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko (first seen in Amazing Fantasy #15, August 1962). Season 1 contained mostly stories involving classic Spider-Man villains from the comic book series, who, when caught in Spider-Man’s web, were left for the Police to find, along with a note signed, “Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.” Stan Lee, who created the character, served as story consultant for the first season of the show.

The Spider-Man theme song has been so popular over the years, that many bands have covered it, re-arranged it, and adapted the lyrics. You can find covers from Aerosmith to the Ramones, and you’ll even find a Spider-Pig song within The Simpsons Movie from 2007.

If you’re going to talk about the Spider-Man cartoon from 1967-1970, then you have to mention how low-budget it was. ABC, through producer Steve Krantz, contracted the animation out to Grantray-Lawrence. The series relied upon re-used stock animation from one episode to the next. So, you would see the same scene of Spider-Man swinging across the New York City skyline several times, across several episodes. After the first season, Grantray-Lawrence went bankrupt. The second and third seasons were produced at a dramatically reduced budget by Krantz Films under Ralph Bakshi. The second and third seasons of Spider-man have a really different look and feel than the brighter, more optimistic first season of the show. Sometimes, it seemed the theme didn’t match the later episodes. Also, the storyline went beyond the normal, day-to-day activity of Peter Parker working at the Daily Bugle as a teenage freelance photographer with his boss, the demanding J. Jonah Jameson. We still see the theme as the strongest part of the series, which enabled it to keep going for 3 years, even though it was on a shoestring budget.

Originally Aired on TV: September 9, 1967

Lyrics by Paul Francis Webster

Lyrics

Spider-man, Spider-man,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spider-man.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He’s got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spider-man.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Spider-man, Spider-man
Friendly neighborhood Spider-man
Wealth and fame
He’s ingnored
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there’s a hang up
You’ll find the Spider-man.

Cheats for Spider-Man 3 Collectors Edition PS3


"Spider-Man 3" is the third installment of the "Spider-Man" series produced by Treyarch, which began life on the PlayStation 2. The third installment, the series debut on the PlayStation 3, sees Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, return to the streets of New York to do battle against villains such as Venom and the Green Goblin. "Spider-Man 3 Collectors Edition" for PS3 features a number of extras, including interviews with the developers and "making of" features. Upon release, the game was considered tough by many gamers, according to IGN, but the developers programmed a number of cheats and rewards as an incentive to the players' perseverance.

Unlock the Green Goblin for "Arena Mode"

In order to unlock Spider-Man's archenemy the Green Goblin in "Spider-Man 3" you must defeat him in your first encounter within the single player campaign. When he is unlocked, you will gain access to his hover-board system, which is controllable by use of the Sixaxis game-pad, allowing you to zoom around the New York skyline without having to propel yourself from building to building, as Spider-Man does.
Spider-Man 3 Cheat Codes

A number of cheat codes can be entered during gameplay in "Spider Man 3: Collectors Edition" to access new characters and even gain status enhancements. In order to unlock the character venom, enter the campaign and press "X," "Circle," "X," "Circle," "Down," "Up" and "Up." You will now be able to use Venom during the single-player portion of the game. To become invincible, pause the game and press "X," "X," "X," "Circle," "Circle," "Circle," "R1," "L1," "Up," "Up" and "Down." If you have entered the code correctly you will hear a beep and you will then become invincible. Unlock everything in the game by again pausing during gameplay and then entering the following: "R1," "X," "R1," "X," "Circle," "Circle" and "Up." When you hear a beep, all the secrets in the game will be at your disposal.
Play as Peter Parker

Peter Parker can be unlocked in "Spider Man 3: Collectors Edition" for the PS3 as an alternative skin to Spider-Man's regular appearance. To unlock him, you must undertake a mission at The Daily Bugle. Talk to Robbie in the office, and when he assigns you a mission, exit and then re-enter the building. The waypoint will now show up from within the building. If you then wait inside the building you will get a "Mission Failed" message, and notification that Eddie has been assigned to the mission. Now you will be granted two options: "Retry" or "Do something else." Select "Do something else," and you should appear on top of the Daily Bugle building as Peter Parker. Walk over to the race on top of the building, but when "Press X to start the mission" appears, you can press "X" which will instead allow Peter Parker to punch. Press "X" continuously while simultaneously moving forward, until Peter Parker walks off the side of the building. You now take the role of Peter Parker while negotiating the city.
Perform Easy Kills

To perform easy kills in "Spider Man 3: Collectors Edition," press "Circle" when an enemy is running away, and you will stun him. To defeat lower-level enemies -- such as Apocalypse Gang members, Candy girls and Dr. Connor's Lizard Creations -- in one hit, first jump into the air and pull the enemy toward you. Press "Circle" very quickly when the enemy is close and then press "Triangle" repeatedly; and you will slam the enemy into the ground.
Unlock Arena Mode

"Arena Mode" in "Spider Man 3: Collector's Edition" allows you to pit your character against another story character in a versus match in a select few of the game's environments. To access "Arena Mode," complete the single-player campaign and then access the mode under "Extras."

If you know who George Lucas is, you'd want to watch this movie. If you haven't, you'd want to watch too when you realise that he's the mastermind behind LucasFilm's very successful Star Wars series. We pretty much have not heard much from him recently until now. He is back to produce Red Tails, a World War 2 movie about African American pilots battling their enemies and race discrimination back home. This movie is about dogfighting and features some really impressive visual effects. Feel excited now? "Read More" to view the trailer.



Release Date: Estimated 19 January 2012 (Singapore)

Note: This being a George Lucas' LucasFilm production, the visual effects job naturally went to Industrial Lights and Magic, the best visual effects studio in the world. And I can say, based off the trailer, the visual effects are just fantastic.
