"Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can…" So says the lyrics of the theme song of the beloved 1967 cartoon series Spider-Man, which then became the official anthem of our favorite web-slinging hero to this day. It makes sense then that a sample of the classic tune is the first thing you hear during the intro to new Marvel show Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, nodding to Spidey's long and much beloved on-screen history.
Things are swiftly switched up though as some neat disc scratching launches the song into a full rap, which can only be described as a certified bop. Trust me, you won't be pressing that 'skip intro' button on any episode of this new series – new theme 'Neighbor Like Me', by The Math Club featuring Relaye and Melo Makes Music, has more than earned that respect. Blending the old with the new in a fun way, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's energetic theme is the perfect indicator of what this series is. And the best news? It only gets better from here on in.
