"....The album closes with an eye-opening rendition of the "Batman" theme that plays out like a hallucinatory experience. Chalpin's frantic, operatic shrieks of "Batman!" resound through the speakers over a haunting orchestra, soliliquizing on the meaningless "Gods" we have made out of popular culture (in a tale that may be strictly apocryphal, the raw terror of Sam's vocals were aided by his son's strategic placement of a life-size Adam West standee in the corner of the studio unbeknownst to Sam, which he allegedly thought was both real and malevolent). As the record ends, the listener feels a great multitude of feelings not easily put into writing." - El_Moonkaiser writing about Sam Chalpin's 1966 novelty record "My Father the Pop Singer" on rateyourmusic.com in 2009
