RIP Neal Hefti

[frodawgg]

Neal Hefti, the composer of the Batman theme from the '60s series has died. He also did the theme for The Odd Couple.

It's weird b/c I just ordered a vinyl 45 of the Batman theme (his version; not the Nelson Riddle one used in the opening of the show. I prefer Hefti's version even though it doesn't have the "Nanananana...".) I love that theme.

RIP.

 

[Bat Attack]

That's too bad.

Probably one of the most famous theme song of all time.

Damn this is shocking. RIP, you made one of the best theme songs known to man.
