Chuck Berry wrote and sang, "Anything you want we got it right here in the U.S.A." It's quite certain there was a sardonic tone and eye squinted in the vise of experienced prejudice he directed toward the very white and clueless hicks who used to make this boast. Well, there's a lot of what "you want" in YouTube.

And in a major subset, what one remembers. On a late 60's record sleeve I saw an album called "A Bit More Of Me" by Ilya Kuryakin----I mean David McCallum. That title, it reminded me of the self preoccupation of a certain person who was one of the usual leads in the high school drama club. And the pose on the cover: if these were given numbers his was the clenched fist into single digits (translate: quite common front quarter turn) boiler plate. So common to that era, all of it.

And at the time I noticed one of the handful of teaser tunes listed was===> Batman??? The turnaround that earned the great Neal Hefti, compared to all the other notes and harmonies he created---let's say if money were speed it was the Batmobile compared to the boulder guarding the Bat Cave. But what did McCallum do on this? Say the title studiously again and again?

My synapses, firing like the decorative bleeps on Robbie The Robot's control panel, have posited this and other useless curiosities periodically over the years. Mentor is not surprised.

The other day, after surviving a moment's exposure to Adam West's most famous role on a digital decimal channel, the thought came to mind and here we have good the good old YouTube "juke box", tracks played over static picture cued up. And there it was!

Folks, I have to report it is pretty good. It sounds a bit better than the show's version and, in short order, is not I repeat not a candidate for NPR's Jim Namor. Probably the Wrecking Crew with a chance at another pass at the same thing, slightly different.

But wither Ilya? No vocals. Among the horns is a baritone sax sounding a round but aggressive obbligato that may well have rearranged the microphone baffle into fractals. Could it have been that beside the modified P-38 and pen radio Kuryakin could have wielded a mighty bari sax? Probably not, but the late sixties were quite The Entity.

And I wonder if anyone's done a take off on Chuck's tune that tells us You Tube has it all? I've already been digging a lot, but there is no era like the present for Dan to start digging some more.
