This is almost too much eye-popping 1960s for comfort. If Catwoman had done a scene with Mark Lindsay, your TV might have exploded. RIP Paul, thanks for the music.
@girlgarde The one on the left (behind the Penguin part of the time) is Teri Garr. She occasionally played "go go girls" on SHINDIG and other shows at this stage of her career.
Thanks for posting. In this stay at home Covid time, I’ve been searching for my favorites. This is the first time I’ve seen the Batman clip, but I knew it was out there somewhere.
@Brianvolk20 Real cool that Paul Revere & The Raiders appears in this Batman episode. I was just reading the comments and I noticed that jazzbo89 referred to you as Fang's dad. So are you Fang's son? If so, I have to say that your dad was a great bass player and funny guy, a perfect fit for Paul Revere & The Raiders. He also has a great voice. I just recently watch a new video called "Get It On", from "Midnight Ride", which Fang co-wrote with Drake.
I love Paul Revere & the Raiders! I'm jealous of my Dad and Aunt that they got to see them live- and live through the greatest musical period in history! Not gonna lie so much of the music today sucks.
No your darn , dam , rootin , tootin , right on! 2 days music is a stupid joke . There're some good tunes cause every generation has at least on. This generated wanna be's ain't got it like back then when evan when most of the girls were pretty. It's no fault of todays generation , because they can 't control when to be born.
Remember seeing this episode when it aired on channel 7 in "Boss Angeles!" Thats all us kids "talked" about the next day. This was back when people communucated with ine another!
Rember seeing Mark Lindsay when I was 8 years old on American Bandstand in early 1966 with either "Kicks" or "Hungry" ! Also, The Vogues "Five O'Clock World " was a big hit about a month later 2/66; actually that tune came out late Summer 65. Also, Petula Clarks "Downtown" , and The Beattles "Paper Back Writer" , and sooooouch more!
Burgess Meredith was the best penguin he was a hell lot better than Danny Devito. And I’m glad Paul Revere and the Raiders were there playing through their amplifiers that was super cool
Brian, to this day I still sometimes twist the channel knob to one speaker just to listen to some of your Dad's bass lines from the old days. He rocks. I've got an old album autographed by him, Drake, Smitty, Mark and Paul. Thanks for sharing this video.
Proving once again that some musicians don't exercise the best judgement when backing political candidates. LOL. But seriously, it was great to see this clip. Thanks for posting this brianvolk20.
The Monkees(when they played their own instruments), Tommy James and the Shondells and these guys. They were the real boy bands, if you must call them that. Burgess Meredith, before becoming known in popular culture as the Penguin, was in a lot of great flicks and would be after this. The "Grumpy Old Men" movies were a great final bow.
@MRobert21 About the Joker's example, that's because he deceived her into aiding him. Eventually, she came to her senses and turned against him. Still, she was eccentric in the first place...... It is strange though that the Penguin was never convicted of anything. He must have a good lawyer or is skilled at legal matters himself to slip out of going to jail for any meaningful length of time.
Now who are the 2 morons who hit "dislike"? Dude, what's not to like about Batman and Paul Revere & The Raiders? The '60's were when TV and Music were king.
This reminds me of the Firesign Theatre joke where one drunk asks another "So who're ya gonna vote for in the election?" and the other drunk replies "Anybody that's blackberry flavored." You gotta admit, having the Raiders, the dancing gals and the candidate performing his campaign theme could only happen on '60s TV where unreality rules. And Burgess Meredith gives his scene a lot of gusto. (The guest actors had good times I hear : there's great stories about Vincent Price inciting food fights.)
@MRobert21 About the Penguin's campaign, he DID go all out in the flash department but he should have stated what his stance on issues were. He lost because he failed to produce any substance to his campaign. Had he done so, he would have won it handily since he knew many of the political moves needed to win PLUS he pulled a series of clever stunts even if it didn't help in the end.
@MRobert21 Yeah, the bad guys have criminals like them backing them up. This time around though, he had law abiding citizens on his side which is what shocked me since they have to know what he's done in the past. Also, I don't recall anyone complaining about the current mayor but you're right about Batman's campaign sucking. While the issues are important, so is having charisma and getting the voters to believe that you'll do a good job.
@MRobert21 Since you've stated that Commisioners and police chiefs are nearly impossible to get rid of, it's clear that the Penguin was simply trying to rattle his opponents when he made those threats then. While I do agree with you that both parties are quite crooked, there ARE differences in their policies and they DO bash each other on a regular basis. It's basically choosing which party sucks less at any given time.....
@Godzie1 so true-the majority of songs are repeats-and usually it's horrible! I LOVED "The British Invasion" and Motown. Those were the days, my friend...
@Brianvolk20 He sang well and the song has a great beat to it. So your dad and Drake were best friends growing up. Did you ever meet Drake and if so, what kind of guy was he? Let me know. :)
@dulcimerz2drumstix Agreed. The Penguin probably pimped out the belly dancer girl and those three women who sang slogans in order to get them to support him. lol
@brennecke21 Yeah about 54 years young now! That's how I think you feel. But at least we lived through the best generation in music history? We have that going for us? My 16 year old daughter asked how I knew the lyrics of a song that was playing on the radio in the car today? I told her that was copied from a song from the 70s. Shocked she said (It was?) Damn copycats. Remember our era when we hated our parent's music? Now our kid's copy ours!
One of the funniest lines from the entire series came from this episode when Penguin said; "Politics is wonderful!! I can use all my dirtiest, slurpiest tricks...but now they're all LEGAL!!" LOL
I notice that a lot of people seem to like the red haired woman that was working for the Penguin. I'm glad to see that a lot of people share my sexual tastes in women..... She may be airheaded but she's hot as hell. As for the Penguin, his one main problem when running for mayor was that he never stated what sort of policies he'd put into place if he were mayor. He was basically all flash and style and no substance. Had he brought a bit of substance into it, he would have won......
@MRobert21 Alright, alright. Compared to real life politicians, the Penguin's mild in his crookedness. How about this then? In the universe where this series takes place where politicians and officials are honest like Batman said, it's shocking to see any respectable citizen support the Penguin given what he did in the past.
On a side not, those three girls who sang fancy slogans about the Penguin are good looking and cheerful. especially the redhead. If I was single and one of the Penguin's supporters there, I'd consider asking her out on a date.... heh Too bad that they're on the side of a career criminal..... -_-
@MRobert21 Well hey, I never said that Democrats were above corruption, I'm merely saying that I'm iffy about Republicans because I don't agree with their political beliefs is all. Also, the Penguin called up Commisioner Gordon and threatened to replace him and Chief O Hara with the Riddler and the Joker respectively if he won. That's part of why I was antsy about the Penguin winning but now that you mention it, the Penguin may not be able to do that on a whim like he said he'd do.
If there were no such person as the Obama Girl, your metaphor would be a lot less sloppy (if perhaps no less unoriginal). Sorry, but that comment sent my BS detector reeling.
This is almost too much eye-popping 1960s for comfort. If Catwoman had done a scene with Mark Lindsay, your TV might have exploded. RIP Paul, thanks for the music.
Wow !! Look at her go !!

Saw this episode tonight on MeTV.
I just LOVE the stuff you can find on UA-cam!! LOL!!
Burgess Meredith was the best penguin he was a hell lot better than Danny Devito. And I’m glad Paul Revere and the Raiders were there playing through their amplifiers that was super cool
I was 10 when I saw this?
Now I feel old...Wait I am old?
Where did those decades go?
Brian, to this day I still sometimes twist the channel knob to one speaker just to listen to some of your Dad's bass lines from the old days. He rocks. I've got an old album autographed by him, Drake, Smitty, Mark and Paul. Thanks for sharing this video.
RIP Paul Revere.
Loved me some PR&R....miss you Paul.
You've got to be kidding me! I don't recall this episode! LOL Mark plays a mean sax and Burgess Meredith is funny as well
my kinda party!!
I'm crying I'm laughing so hard. Thanks. Vote for Pengy!
I don't see Drake Levin anywhere in this video; the guitarist is Jim Valley.
"The penguin party stands for... mother!!" when i heard that i just cracked xD look at his arms xD
I am hallucinating from the Ambien, or is this for real? woo hoo - so nuts! I never knew about this.
I remember this one. When I first saw this I didn't know who the band was but now I know. I'm 17 if you must know
Proving once again that some musicians don't exercise the best judgement when backing political candidates. LOL. But seriously, it was great to see this clip. Thanks for posting this brianvolk20.
My friends, the Penguin party stands for Mother, Country, The Flag, Alpha Alpha and Quack!
The Monkees(when they played their own instruments), Tommy James and the Shondells and these guys. They were the real boy bands, if you must call them that.
Burgess Meredith, before becoming known in popular culture as the Penguin, was in a lot of great flicks and would be after this. The "Grumpy Old Men" movies were a great final bow.

It is strange though that the Penguin was never convicted of anything. He must have a good lawyer or is skilled at legal matters himself to slip out of going to jail for any meaningful length of time.
@ Jazzbo - Phil Volk was (is, I assume) a SMOKING bass player. The whole band was the real deal. Great players...
Now who are the 2 morons who hit "dislike"? Dude, what's not to like about Batman and Paul Revere & The Raiders? The '60's were when TV and Music were king.

@Godzie1 well how can we possibly hate our parents and grandparents music when you lived through the best music era?
WOW. this is KEWL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is great.
@MRobert21
Yeah, the bad guys have criminals like them backing them up. This time around though, he had law abiding citizens on his side which is what shocked me since they have to know what he's done in the past.

@girlgarde Gotham city is in MA ;)
Ha haa! Great memories. Crazy stuff.

OMG Burgess Meredith is RAPPING.
Paul is having WAY too good a time...
Wow thanks for posting this! the last one marked as this didn't show a thing.
Are you really a relative of Phil or like me just dig his last name?
@dulcimerz2drumstix
Agreed. The Penguin probably pimped out the belly dancer girl and those three women who sang slogans in order to get them to support him. lol
What song were they playing at the beginning? That was fire!
Ironic that the Penguin also ran for mayor of Gotham in the Tim Burton movie.
mike patrick Where do you think he stole the idea?
That's not Drake, but his replacement Harpo
Right, no Drake. (RIP)
Make Gotham great again
Why does the plot of this episode seem familiar?
@brennecke21
Yeah about 54 years young now!
That's how I think you feel.
But at least we lived through the best generation in music history?
We have that going for us? My 16 year old daughter asked how I knew the lyrics of a song that was playing on the radio in the car today?
I told her that was copied from a song from the 70s.
Shocked she said (It was?)
Damn copycats.
Remember our era when we hated our parent's music?
Now our kid's copy ours!
In today's world, the Penguin would do a better job then most mayors.
One of the funniest lines from the entire series came from this episode when Penguin said; "Politics is wonderful!! I can use all my dirtiest, slurpiest tricks...but now they're all LEGAL!!" LOL
@Godzie1 Well I was 12 at the time how do you think I feel? =-D
I notice that a lot of people seem to like the red haired woman that was working for the Penguin. I'm glad to see that a lot of people share my sexual tastes in women..... She may be airheaded but she's hot as hell.

Vote for Pengy !
Obama, is that you??? You got a paint job, my boy. =Stefan=
Penguin rap!
@MRobert21
Alright, alright. Compared to real life politicians, the Penguin's mild in his crookedness.
How about this then? In the universe where this series takes place where politicians and officials are honest like Batman said, it's shocking to see any respectable citizen support the Penguin given what he did in the past.
@girlgarde I think they can be rehabilitated
Oswald Cobblepot
That brunette in the trio is gorgeous. I much prefer women dressed like that instead of being provocative.
On a side not, those three girls who sang fancy slogans about the Penguin are good looking and cheerful. especially the redhead. If I was single and one of the Penguin's supporters there, I'd consider asking her out on a date.... heh
Too bad that they're on the side of a career criminal..... -_-

Yup the redhead is a babe!! I would! Song sucks though LOL....
Is there ANY reason why you're having a political discussion on this site? Bith of you shut up, enjoy the music and dig the swingin 6o's...and relax!
Of course the music never got better since the 80s & today's music sucks...That's why the internet was invented! :)
If there were no such person as the Obama Girl, your metaphor would be a lot less sloppy (if perhaps no less unoriginal).
Sorry, but that comment sent my BS detector reeling.
Wild , art imitating life, just like a Trump rally. Scary.
You've got to be kidding me! I don't recall this episode! LOL Mark plays a mean sax and Burgess Meredith is funny as well
