Batman - The Bat's Kow Tow Pt.2
IMDb: Batman and Robin escape Catwoman's trap by hitting the precise note
needed to shatter the glass chamber in which they're prisoners. They
quickly get on the trail of Catwoman. The feminine feline criminal
eventually "steals" the voices of Chad and Jeremy, Commissioner Gordon
and talk-show host Allen Stephens. She blackmails the British
government, which faces the lost of revenue from the taxes on Chad and
Jeremy's performances. Batman and Robin eventually capture Catwoman and
her gang, but not before Batman and Catwoman express obvious affection
for each other.
Written by Bill Koenig
*Note Catwoman's shout out to Ichiban's Mr. March, Roger Miller!

Joe Tex month day 20: the deep soul albums - Happy Soul & Buying a Book
Regardless, they're both really good records with lots of great tracks.
Side one of Happy Soul in particular stands up with any LP side of soul music you'd care to name. A bunch of the tracks from this record have been posted elsewhere on Ichiban through the course of the month, but a couple haven't been covered yet. I'm a big fan of the home-town hi-jinx of "You Need Me", which has an almost Tom T. Hall vibe to it in terms of its telling little details. "Some were crying, and some bought lunch!"
And my DJ box is always packing the freight train of laffs that is "Go Home and Do It", because of one glorious occasion when I played it, much to the crowd's delight, right after some jerky couple finally got kicked out of one of my gigs for being obnoxious.

Texmania Sweeps Miami
Joe Tex sure knew how to work a crowd into an over-heated frenzy, as indicated by this 1965 Jet article. And apparently the fever didn't exactly die in '65!
