I don't like spiders, I don't like most bugs. But I love songs with Spider in the title. There are so many good ones. And I do like Spiderman (the comic). This Connection has nothing to do with Peter Parker, though. You would think I would put one of the cool versions of the Spiderman Theme in here, but I didn't. Had to put in Jim Stafford. That's one of my favorite Spider (and Snake) songs. Of course the Toy Dolls and The Who. But one of the coolest tracks, I got from a friend of mine (Liz) who used to live in the UK. I can't verify this, but I believe her story. She heard I was making a playlist of Spider songs and she said that she had a 45 that she got from a cereal box in the 70's with a Spider song and did I want it? OMG, YES! So this 45 is by the Tigers and it's called "Spider In The Bath" and it ends up being a really cool new wave-ish, ska-pop kinda song. So, it's on here. You are welcome. Don't really know much about the band and I looked. All I got is that the band put out some 45's and one album: Savage Music (late 1979 or 1980). Anything else you can find probably is one of the three other bands called Tiger. Just enjoy it.
