Quick, Henry, the Kryptonite!


One of my earliest compilations of music based on one mind-numbing theme.  Hence the graphic design that is more amateurish than my current level of amateurism.

Some versions of the "Superman" themes, and a few songs ABOUT our favorite Kryptonian.  Some of them are pretty bumpin' as in Track One.



1)  Movie Theme - Walter Murphy
2)  Superboy TV Theme
3)  Superman - Herbie Mann
4)  The Adventures of Superman TV Theme
5)  Sound from Krypto / Movie Theme - Let's All Dance with Super Friends cassette
6)  Superman the Animated Series TV Theme (extended)
7)  The Batman / Superman Adventures TV Theme
8)  Movie Theme - Gotham's Greatest
9)  Comic Book Heroes / I'm Your Superman - Rick Springfield
10)  The New Adventures of Superman TV Theme
11)  The New Adventures of Superman Episode Title Music
12)  The New Adventures of Superman TV End Credits
13)  Movie Theme - Super Hero Music cassette
14)  It's Superman - The Supermen
15)  You've Got Possibilities - The Supermen
16)  TV Theme - Ruby-Spears
17)  Movie Theme - Cinema Sound Orchestra
18)  The Superman / Batman Adventures TV Theme
19)  Superboy TV Theme (Filmation cartoon)
20)  SuperPup TV Theme
21)  Movie Theme - Fleischer cartoons
22)  Theme from Superman (original) - Wonderland Space Shuttle
23)  Movie Serial Theme

Yes, the actual cassette labeling for Track Five is "Sound from Krypto," not Krypton.  Also I think the speaking voice sounds a little like a Robin Williams impersonation.


Well, I'll be a three-eyed Kryptonian Babootch!

I Embarrassed My Family


In summer of 1976, I was in-between years at OCU (Oklahoma City University).  My girlfriend Joyce was driving an ice-cream truck.

For our nation's Bicentennial, my brother Robert picked up Joyce and I and we drove to Kansas City, where our sister Sue lived with her husband Bob.  We went to a movie, a KC Royals game, and watched some of the TV coverage of the Bicentennial celebrations.

On the morning of Sunday, July 4th, Joyce and I walked up the street to a neighborhood church that burned its mortgage, having just paid it off.

Also on that weekend, we watched Mel Brooks' new Silent Movie.  I embarrassed everybody else by shrieking and contorting with laughter.  But man, it was worth it!

This is the LP release of the film's soundtrack, composed and arranged to perfection by John Morris.



1)  Silent Movie March
2) Sidewalk Oddities; Custom Suit and Acupuncture
3) Burt Reynolds' House
4) Engulf & Devour
5) The Wrong Dog Rag
6) Liza Minnelli and Knights in Armor
7) Coat Routine; Men's Room
8) Anne Bancroft; Rio Bomba Bossa Nova
9) New Flamencos; Jalousie
10) Marcel Marceau
11) Wheelchair Chase
12) Marty Feldman Two Step
13) Babalu
14) Hotel Sleez; Lord of Winos
15) Sneak Preview
16) Film Chase; Coke Machine War
17) Silent Movie March

You can't go wrong with this one!  Your sense of fun will be Engulfed and Devoured!
