Query: When did the Ramones record the song Spider-Man?
The Ramones recorded a cover of the song as a bonus track for their final album, 1995's ¡Adios Amigos!. A live version appears on their Greatest Hits Live album.
An active member of the Screen Actors Guild, Spider Harrison has appeared in national television commercials with Colonel Sanders for KFC, with Johnny Cash for STP and with Billy Carter in television spots for 'Billy Beer'. Amusingly, he has many times been featured as Hollywood's Johhny Cochran look-aike. Spider Harrison's recording of his song 'Beautiful Day' (still available from Stones Throw Records & Now Again Records, plus Tame Records-Japan) Created and released while he was at WTLC-FM, 1971-72. In 2012 the song 'Beautiful Day' was featured on an episode on HBO's Entourage. During the seventies he also guested vocally on albums by R&B greats Millie Jackson and the late Joe Tex. While program director and music director at WTLC-FM met many artist including the great R&B-jazz pianist Ramsey Lewis. In 1976 when Spider Harrison was at WLAC, Ramsey Lewis recorded a hit dance single about Spider Harrison, "What's The Name Of This Funk Spider-Man" the song was played often on Soul Train. Spider was also a friend to the late Don Cornelius, creator of the long running weekly, Soul Train national syndicated television dance show. 
In 1987, before leaving the Ramones, Dee Dee embarked on a brief hip hop career as rapper "Dee Dee King" with the album "Standing in the Spotlight". Dee Dee had recorded "Funky Man" as Dee Dee King in 1987. Music critic Matt Carlson wrote that the album "will go down in the annals of pop culture as one of the worst recordings of all time". After the album failed, he returned to punk rock with various short-lived projects such as Sprokkett (which also featured Richard 'The Atomic Elf' Bacchus of D Generation and the Spikey Tops). In 1987 Dee Dee wrote and produced a song called "Baby Doll" for the Chesterfield Kings ("Baby Doll"/"I Cannot Find Her", acoustic version 1987, Mirror Records, later recorded by American rock and roll band the Connection, on their album "New England's Newest Hit Makers").
Months after he left the Ramones, in the fall of 1989, Dee Dee already performed songs such as "Poison Heart" and "Main Man" (later to be recorded by the Ramones) with his band the Spikey Tops.
A long-standing rumor claimed that the bassline for the Spider-Man theme was performed by jazz musician Charles Mingus, however, Ralph Bakshi confirmed the rumor as being erroneous, stating that Mingus did not perform on the theme song.[1]
The 2002 Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 film adaptations featured characters as buskers performing the song; Jayce Bartok and Elyse Dinh respectively. Both films also feature the song at the very end of the credits: the 2002 film featured the 1967 version, while the 2004 film featured a re-recording by Michael Bublé. 2007's Spider-Man 3 also featured the song's melody during the scene where Spider-Man arrives at a big celebration.
When Spider-Man met a similarly powered man named Ezekiel, Ezekiel explained to him that Spider-Man's powers were not an accident, and that the spider that had bitten him did so voluntarily to pass its abilities onto Peter before it died. This made Spider-Man a "totem", a bridge between man and beast, with the properties of both. Ezekiel then warned Spider-Man that as a totem, he was in danger from those who would seek to destroy such beings. One of those, who showed up soon after, was Morlun.
In April 2009, "Spin" writer Mark Prindle observed that the Ramones had to date "inspired a jaw-dropping 48 (at least!) full-length tribute records." The first Ramones tribute album featuring multiple performers was released in 1991: "" includes tracks by such acts as the Flesh Eaters, L7, Mojo Nixon, and Bad Religion. In 2001, Dee Dee made a guest appearance on one track of "Ramones Maniacs", a multi-artist cover of the entire "Ramones Mania" compilation album. "The Song Ramones the Same", which came out the following year, includes performances by the Dictators, who were part of the early New York punk scene, and Wayne Kramer, guitarist for the influential protopunk band MC5. "", released in 2003, features performers such as Rancid, Green Day, Metallica, Kiss, the Offspring, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, and Rob Zombie (who also did the album cover artwork). Also some other famous bands recorded tribute songs. Motörhead's Phil Campbell tells in Jari-Pekka Laitio-Ramone's book "Ramones: Soundtrack Of Our Lives": "We did a cover of Rockaway Beach with me on backing vocals, which was quite enjoyable. When Johnny Ramone heard it, he refused to put it on the tribute album. Lemmy and I thought we did a good version."
Multiple versions of the same conversation were recorded for Spider-Man's open world dialogue for when he is at rest and when he is exerting himself in things like combat. The recordings also can switch mid conversation if Spider-Man switches from resting to combat. Each costume also features custom web-shooters unique to the suit for which they were designed.
The group arrive on Earth-928, and Peter is horrified to see the Superior Spider-Man in charge. Old Man Spider-Man tries to explain that Kaine and Silk are the receptacles of the Other and the Bride, but Superior Spider-Man dismisses his talk of Totems as superstition. Daemos emerges from a portal and kills Spider-Cyborg, but Superior Spider-Man manages to kill Daemos. Spider-Man is surprised that Daemos's body does not disintegrate as Morlun did when Spider-Man last killed him. Spider-Man 2099 explains they used 2099 technology to put Daemos' corpse in stasis. Old Man Spider-Man tries again to explain about the Totems, but is killed when a second Daemos (plus Brix and Bora) appears and snaps his neck. In the ensuing chaos, Assassin Spider-Man is killed. Kaine and Ben Reilly deduce that the Inheritors are clones (explaining why their bodies disintegrate upon death) and Ben opens a portal to the Inheritors' home base. Ultimate Spider-Woman (now going by the name Black Widow) joins them stating she is a clone as well. Spider-UK opens a portal to Earth-13 for the rest to escape. The dying Old Man Spider reveals himself to be Ezekiel Sims from Earth-4 and tells Peter to protect the Totems at all costs. Silk steals Spider-Man's portal device, intending to set right the deaths she caused and opens a portal while attracting the Inheritors' attention. The surviving Spiders regroup on Earth-13, where Spider-Man is met by an angry Superior Spider-Man, who announces they are at war with the Inheritors and from this point on, he is in charge.[19]
When Spider-Man was bitten by the radioactive spider that gave him his powers, it also had a terrible side effects of giving him a disease that was part of his evolutionary cycle. The cycle would eventually lead Spider-Man into becoming the sadistic beast known as the Man-Spider (vocal effects provided by Jim Cummings). When Man-Spider was terrorizing citizens in New York, the crime-killing vigilante known as the Punisher and one of Spider-Man's past enemies who was also one of his friends, Sergei Kravinoff, teamed up and temporarily cured Spider-Man of his disease. How Spider-Man permanently got rid of the disease was when he was fighting the villain known as the Vulture in the two-part second-season finale. One of the Vulture's powers was absorbing youth from people younger than he was and when Vulture absorbed Spider-Man's youth, he also absorbed his powers but consequently, he even absorbed his disease. Vulture demanded from Dr. Curt Connors, who was treating Spider-Man's disease at the time, to help cure him while at the same time teaming up with the Scorpion to defeat Spider-Man after draining the disease back into Spider-Man. However, Connors betrayed Vulture and only gave Spider-Man back his youth and powers, but left his disease back in the Vulture. Man-Spider was never seen again, with the exception of the two-part series finale of the show where one of the alternate dimensional Spider-Men was mutated with only six arms, as that was part of Spider-Man's evolutionary cycle, but he became the Man-Spider. Fortunately, that Man-Spider was transported by the mystical figure known as the Beyonder into a different reality with him.
The Paley Brothers eventually signed to Sire Records. For Sire, they released a four-song EP, produced by Jimmy Iovine and recorded in 1976, and a self-titled ten-song album, produced by Earle Mankey and recorded in 1977 (except for one track from the EP, "Come Out and Play"). The album was then reissued in a 12-song version, deleting one song from the original album and adding two more from the EP plus a single recorded by the Paley Brothers and the Ramones, another Sire Records group—a cover of the Ritchie Valens song "Come On Let's Go", which was also included on the Ramones' "Rock and Roll High School" soundtrack. The single was recorded while Ramones lead singer Joey Ramone was ill (and so he does not appear), and before drummer Tommy Ramone left the Ramones.
In the series finale of the show, when Spider-Man had to stop the evil Spider-Carnage from destroying all reality, they were in a reality where Uncle Ben did not die and Spider-Man used him to make Spider-Carnage reformed. Spider-Carnage turned good and prevented the destruction of reality. Unfortunately, he could not get rid of the symbiote. So he created a portal that would cause anything inside of it disintegrate and jumped in, committing suicide. Although they lived in different realities, Ben saying that he is proud of his nephew and Spider-Man said that he will always have him in his heart, implying that Spider-Man had informed Ben of his counterpart's death.
Whereas the symbiote suit worn in the comics by Spider-Man was a plain black affair with a large white spider on the front and back, the design was changed for the film to become a black version of Spider-Man's traditional costume, complete with webbing motif. As a consequence of this, the suit Topher Grace wore as Venom also bore the webbing motif; as producer Grant Curtis noted, "it's the Spider-Man suit, but twisted and mangled in its own right." Additionally, the motif gave a sense of life to the symbiote, giving it the appearance of gripping onto the character's body. When animating the symbiote, Raimi did not want it to resemble a spider or an octopus, and to give it a sense of character. The CG model is made of many separate strands. When animating Venom himself, animators observed footage of big cats such as lions and cheetahs for the character's agile movements.
The 2002 and 2004 film versions included Jayce Bartok and Elyse Dinh, respectively, busking the song. Both films have the song at the end of the credits; the 2002 adaptation featured the original 1967 recording, and 2004's "Spider-Man 2" has a re-recording by Michael Bublé. 2007's "Spider-Man 3" features a performance of the song by a marching band at a public rally for Spider-Man. In 2014's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," Peter uses a version of the theme as his ringtone. In 2017's "", an orchestral version plays over the Marvel Studios title card sequence. In 2018's "", the theme is briefly played at the beginning, when the original Peter Parker says he "had a catchy theme song".
Dee Dee was initially the band's lead vocalist, though his (then) inability to sing and play bass at the same time resulted in original drummer Joey Ramone taking over the lead vocalist duties (however, he still sang lead vocals in the band on occasion). Dee Dee was the band's bassist and songwriter from 1974 until 1989, when he left to pursue a short-lived career in hip hop music under the name Dee Dee King. He soon returned to his punk roots and released three solo albums featuring brand-new songs, many of which were later recorded by the Ramones. He toured the world playing his new songs, Ramones songs and some old favorites in small clubs, and continued to write songs for the Ramones until 1996, when the band officially retired.
In the series, Web first appeared in a cameo in the third season's premiere episode, "Doctor Strange", where she spied on Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Stephen Strange and Wong after MJ was saved from Dormammu and Baron Mordo, and Stephen even sensed Web's presence. She made a full appearance in the next episode, "Make a Wish", introducing herself and revealing her knowledge of Spider-Man's life and secret identity. In the series, her role was typically to act as cryptic adviser to Spider-Man, offering him strange clues and riddles that would ultimately help him, as well as supposedly training him for the upcoming "Ultimate Battle". Spider-Man's relationship with Madame Web was reluctant as he wanted to live his life autonomously, whereas she insisted he would need her knowledge for the upcoming difficulties. The pair did separate for a while because when Spider-Man was going to quit in the third-season finale (like usual), Web warned him that the two-headed monster will rise above from the underworld. What Web meant by that was that his enemy, the Green Goblin, would figure out his secret identity, and Spider-Man knew the Goblin was Norman Osborn, and the two identities would clash. When Web refused to bring Green Goblin and MJ from limbo, where they both got stuck into thanks to the Green Goblin's portal making Time Dilation Accelerator machine, under Spider-Man's insistence, that is when they separated. But she returned when the "Ultimate Battle" (analogous to the Secret Wars) occurred, which was after Spider-Man's wife, Mary Jane's clone, had died off (due to her unstable cell structure which caused her to evaporate). After Spider-Man had won in the battle against evil in the entire three-part "Secret Wars" episode, this ultimately led to the two-part series finale of the show, "Spider Wars", where it is revealed the "Secret Wars" was merely a test for Spider-Man to see how formidable for the "real" challenge he would be when he would have to lead Spider-Men from other dimensions to stop an insane Spider-Man villain known as Spider-Carnage from destroying all of reality. Spider-Man succeeded and Web carried out her promise to Spider-Man they would find Mary Jane throughout limbo.
2002 saw Youth Gone Mad release "Youth Gone Mad featuring Dee Dee Ramone" on tREND iS dEAD! records and Wanker Records. The album included the former Ramones songwriter/bass player's final studio recordings. Dee Dee played guitar and did backing vocals on most tracks (lead on "False Alarm" and "Horror Hospital"). Additionally, the song "Meatball Sandwich" was co-written and recorded with Joey Ramone. This release also featured Psychotica drummer Buz.
Joey Ramone sent us a cassette of a song called "Slug" he wrote that Johnny Ramone didn't want to do. We started playing it and no one believed it was by the Ramones as it wasn't on any Ramones albums at that time. Joey told us he wanted to record "Love Love Love" and we should do "Slug". The Ramones never did record "Love Love Love" but we were more than happy to record "Slug". Having Joey say he wanted to do our song was a thrill I will never forget.
Mondo Bizarro (a misspelled version of "Mondo Bizzarro", meaning "Weird World" in Italian) is the twelfth studio album by the American punk band the Ramones, released in 1992. It is the first to feature their new bassist, C.J. Ramone, who replaced departed member Dee Dee Ramone. The album was re-released in the UK by the record label "Captain Oi!" on August 10, 2004, with the band's cover of the "Spider-Man" theme song as a bonus track.
The Japanese version of the album features the bonus track "R.A.M.O.N.E.S.," originally recorded by Motörhead as a tribute to the Ramones on their "1916" album. The American version of the album features a hidden track, "Spider-Man", slightly different from the same song the Ramones originally recorded for the "" tribute album. C.J. Ramone sings lead vocals on tracks two, four, eight and ten, as well as the bonus track "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." Dee Dee Ramone makes his first appearance on a Ramones album since 1989, singing in German and recorded via telephone during the bridge of "Born to Die in Berlin".
The second Clone Saga sprang from Marvel Comics's determination to produce a strong Spider-Man "event" story that would rival DC Comics' "The Death of Superman" and "," both of which sold extremely well. "Spider-Man" editor Mark Bernardo said "Marching orders we were given by upper management to come up with something similar in scope to DC's "Death of Superman" storyline, which at the time was breaking sales records left and right. Thus, no outrageous idea was out of bounds. Terry Kavanagh was cajoled into blurting out his clone idea, which first met with groans and indifference, until someone (to my recollection, J.M. DeMatteis) suddenly realized the radical possibilities of such a storyline." Several of the Spider-Man creators believed that the character had drifted too far from his original portrayal and sought a way to restore the Spider-Man of old, in particular jettisoning his marriage to Mary Jane. Howard Mackie revealed "When the story was begun we knew it would be controversial, and that was part of the point." He also commented "The return to the single Spider-Man did enter the conversation eventually, but it was not the intent of the story when pitched."
Reinhardt joined the Ramones in February 1983 before the release of "Subterranean Jungle", and appears in two music videos from that album, although he did not play on the record itself. In his first months with the group he broke the tradition of adopting the Ramones surname and instead performed under the stage name Richie Beau. However, by the time of his first recordings with the band he had switched to the name Richie Ramone. He played on the Ramones albums "Too Tough to Die", "Animal Boy" and "Halfway to Sanity" and appears on their compilation albums "Greatest Hits", "" and "Weird Tales of the Ramones", and on the Ramones live DVD "It's Alive 1974-1996". He penned the Ramones' hit song "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" which is included on the album "Ramones Mania", the first Ramones album to go gold, as well as "Smash You", "Humankind", "I'm Not Jesus", "I Know Better Now" and "(You) Can't Say Anything Nice". Richie's songs "I'm Not Jesus" and "Somebody Put Something in my Drink" have been covered by new generations of bands worldwide, particularly metal bands like Children of Bodom and Behemoth.
This album was released in spring 1989, a few months before Dee Dee left the Ramones. The album marks a radical shift from the Ramones guitar-based punk rock. Dee Dee learnt about rap music during drug rehabilitation, which led him to record the boastful "Funky Man" in 1987, although that song did not end up on the album. Prior to leaving the group, Dee Dee would show up to Ramones gigs in full rap regalia, which frustrated his bandmates.
The cover image is a still from the video from the band's cover of the "Spider-Man" theme song.
Greatest & Latest is the fifth and final studio album by Dee Dee Ramone, released in 2000. It consists of re-recordings of Ramones songs, a re-recorded solo song ("Fix Yourself Up"), cover songs and an unreleased new song ("Sidewalk Surfin'").
