Lyrics to cartoon songs
Anne Crudup
He came frome outer space
Created by the martians
to destroy the human race
The F.B.I. is helpless
He's twenty stories tall
What can we do?
Who can we call?
Call Tobor, the eight(h?)
man
Call Tobor, the 8th man
Quick, call Tobor
the mightiest robot of them all!"
Question: Why was he called "the eight(h?) man?"
I don't remember.
Did anyone understand the words to "The Incredible Hulk" cartoon song?
"Dr. Banner, belted by gamma rays,
Turns into the Hulk,
????? (Ain't he----- something?)
Wreckin' the town with the power of a ???
H-O monster (?) who is something, something, something."
"When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who oppose must feel his shield and yeild.
When he's led to a fight, and a duel is a duel,
Then the red and the white and the blue will come through,
When Captain America throws his mighty shield!"
Does anyone remember Iron Man, Sub-mariner, Thor, or Hercules songs?
I know some of them,
Hercules, something of song and story
Hercules, winner of ancient glory
Softness in his eyes
Iron in his thighs(?)
Virtue in heart and something, something, something,
the Mighty Hercules
There was something about "only the evil fear him."
Just wondering.

Iron Man went like this:
Tony Stark makes you feel
He's a cool exec with a heart of steel
But Iron Man, all jets ablaze
He fights and fights with repulsor rays
Thor was something like:
From the booming bridge of Asgard
Where the booming towers roar
You'll behold a blaze of thunder,
The god of thunder, Mighty Thor!
I don't remember Sub-Mariner at all.

You mean ROBOT spelled backwards ??? <g>
: Question: Why was he called "the eight(h?) man?"
Wasn't he the 8th version????
: Did anyone understand the words to "The Incredible Hulk" cartoon song?
: "Dr. Banner, belted by gamma rays,

: ????? (Ain't he----- something?)
Doc Bruce Banner ... but they changed the name to David Banner for the Bixby version
because "Bruce" was considered a gay name ... On his tomb stone, you see
David Bruce Banner.
: Wreckin' the town with the power of a ???

: H-O monster (?) who is something, something, something."

(and the rest of the lyrics as well!)
I could not BELIEVE you remembered those lyrics. That was my favorite
cartoon growing up. Tobor was different from other cartoon heros, especially
cartoon ROBOT heros--he had a soul. (By the way he was called the 8 Man
because he could "morph" and take on the appearance of anybody he...came...
into contact...with...HEY! I just realized this little Japanese cartoon
presaged
T2 by, what, 25 years??!! But to get back to my point, this was the reason
he was called the 8 Man--although, since he could take on many more than
just 8 appearances, it really didn't make much sense.)
It was a delight to read the lyrics to those other cartoons. I already, and
quite coincidentally, gave the lyric to SuperChicken in another post, but
here's what I remember of the terrific, jazzy Spiderman theme song:
Spiderman, Spiderman
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size
Catches thieves, just like flies
Look out! Here comes the Spiderman
In the dark of night (?)
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Is he strong? Listen bud--
He's got radioactive blood
Hey hey! Here comes the Spiderman

yet--wait, let me check first...
O.K., it seems my way is clear to be the first:
(First, a chant, an awe-inspiring monotonic drone:)
GIGANTOR! GIGANTOR!
GIGAN-AN-AN-TOR!
(O.K. Now the song proper begins:)
Gigantor the space age robot
He is at your command
Gigantor the space age robot
His power is in your hand
Bigger than big!
Taller than tall [or something]
Quicker than quick!
Stronger than strong!
Ready to fight for right--
Against wrong!
[OK, back to the drone:]
GIGANTOR! GIGANTOR!
GIGAN-AN-AN-TOR!
One question: how could that kid have POSSIBLY controlled every move that
robot made with a box with just ONE JOYSTICK??? I mean, direction, yes,
but punches, loops, kicks, crouches--I just don't think it could be done.
Greg Berigan
"Up from the depths
Thirty stories high
Breathing fire
His head in the sky
Godzilla!"
Was there more to that theme? And how do you spell "Godzookie"?

: "A prehistoric monster
: Just wondering.
Hercules, hero of song and story,
(2nd, 3rd and 4th lines correct)
With the strength of ten,
Ordinary men,
Comes the Mighty Hercules!
This is approximate. After having typed it, I begin to see why it's not
shown anymore(Ha, ha). The "Virtue..." lyric came at the end of the show;
I don't know them.

Should be"In the still of night"
: Spiderman, Spiderman
: Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
: Is he strong? Listen bud--
: He's got radioactive blood
: Hey hey! Here comes the Spiderman
Is he strong? Listen, bud,
He's got radioactive blood!
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead,
Hey there, here comes the Spider-Man.
Then:
In the still..., etc.
Then:
Spider-Man, Spider-Man,
Friendly neighbodhood Spider-Man
Actively, he's ignored(?),
Action is his reward.
To him, life is a great big bang-up
Wherever there's a hang-up,
You'll find the Spider-Man!
I am surprised either of us remember this much. It's fun, though.

Here they are best to my memory's ability. Of course this is from the
original 1960's version that was on around the same time as the Fantastic 4.
Spiderman Spiderman
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web any time
Catches thieves just like flies
Hey there, there goes a spiderman
Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood
Can he swing from a thread?
Take a look overhead
Hey there, there goes Spiderman
In the Chill of night
at the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
he arrives just in time.
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Welcome [something] (the one line I could never get)
Action is his reward
To him life is a great big hangup
Wherever you find a bangup
you'll find a Spiderman
[sung by chorus and lot's of loud tinny brass accompanied by pictures
of Spiderman swinging into action around the skyline of NYC].

It IS:
Spiderman:
Spiderman, Spiderman
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 still of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time!
Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighbourhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame, he's ignored --
Action is his reward!
To him, life is a great big hang-up
Wherever there's a bang-up
You'll find the Spider-man!
Hercules:
Hercules, hero of song and story
Hercules, winner of ancient glory
Fighting for the right,
Fighting with his might,
With the strength of ten
Ordinary men!
Hercules! People are safe when near him
Hercules! Only the evil fear him
Softness in his eyes, iron in his thighs
Virtue in his heart, fire in every part
Of the Mighty Hercules!
And now, a bonus! The lyrics to Rocket Robin Hood:
Rocket Robin Hood:
Band of brothers, marching together
Heads held high in all kinds of weather
With fiery blasts his roaring rockets rise
Throughout the earth, throughout the skies!
At the sight of Robin, lend a hand
To the merry leader of this band
Raise a joyous shout to all about
For Rocket Robin Hood!
As I recall, all three series were produced by the same production company
in Toronto. (No doubt they drank a lot of Canadian beer while doing it).

give it another shot...
I think I actually remember all the lyrics to "The Mighty Hercules":
Hercules, hero of song and story!
Hercules, winner of ancient glory!
Fighting for the right, fighting with his might,
With the strength of ten ordinary men!
Hercules, people feel safe when near him!
Hercules, only the evil fear him!
Softness in his eyes, iron in his thighs,
Virtue in his heart, fire in every part
Of the Mighty Hercules!!
[cue thunder]
And now, Heaven help me (or rather, OLYMPUS help me!), here's the end theme:
Join us at his side, standing there with pride!
Victory is here! Raise a mighty cheer
At the sight of Hercules!!
I don't know if I should be proud or deeply ashamed for knowing this...!

Iron Man, Iron Man,
Does whatever an iron can,
Presses clothes, makes them flat....
Wait, no, that's Spider-man....
Tony Stark makes you feel
He's a cool exec with a heart of steel.
As Iron Man, all jets ablaze
He fights and fights with repulsor rays.
Amazin' power! That's Iron Man!
Ablaze with power, he's Iiirrron Man!
Cross the rainbow bridge of Asgard,
Where the (something) heavens roar (or soar)
You'll behold in breathless wonder--
The god of thunder--mighty Thor!

You should be ashamed of yourself for making us all remember these again...
