Meet "Jan And Dean Meet Batman."

I'd love to write this working on the assumption that everyone agrees that Jan & Dean are geniuses and everything they ever touched was brilliant. But some people say this is the worst record they've ever heard.

Back in 1966, Jan Berry loved the Batman show and it inspired an entire LP of songs and skits.

Trouble was, a weird legal mess made Batman-inspired songs OK, but the sketches couldn't refer to the Dynamic Duo. So the record places sketches about Captain Jan and Dean The Boy Blunder in-between songs about the Caped Crusader. It's a little disjointed, but it presents a type of comedy that Firesign Theater would later do so well.

A few months later, Jan would have that tragic wreck in his Corvette.

There's a bootleg out there that contains the original Batman-themed sketches.
