The Spiderman theme is fine as a jingle, but I've never thought of it as an actual cop-show theme. Until today, that is, when I found Norwegian electro duo Ugress's groovy remake:
That's definitive; I doubt you'll ever hear a better version of that song. Who are Ugress and what are they all about? Rather than trying to paraphrase I'll just paste in the statement from their MySpace page:
Ugress is mad sound professor Gisle Martens Meyer and his groovetight percussive assistant, The Igor.
With a sexy crew of guest vocalists and instrumentalists, Ugress bloom with references to the last decades of pop, film and cult culture.
Symptoms of exposure include subtle drift towards the dancefloor, uncontrollable rhythmical movements, hightened auditive pleasure and a out-of-reality experience reported as "being part of an epic film".
On stage an überhybrid mash-feist of mad professorizing, cloned musicians, steampunk instruments and multiple synchronized video projections keep your eyes, ears and consciousness glued to an escapist reality of multiple dimensions.
