I dunno that any one particular song inspired me, I grew up listening to love songs & ballads & heroic songs. I like Man of La Mancha, Camelot was a great example of heroic music, I dug it a lot.

It’s the theme from ‘Stan Lee’s Lucky Man’. She has a magical voice and the song captures the spirit of the show.

The song I can’t get out of my head The Andrews Sisters - ‘Ti-Pi-Tin’ I woke up singing it this morning and I don’t know why. It’s an old romantic song that’s about a million years old.

The Marvel cartoons were all great. [Sings] “Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a spider can/Is he strong, listen bud, he’s got radioactive blood…” It goes on and on. That’s the one I remember the best.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been dancing, but anything from an old Fred Astaire movie gets my feet moving. I like them all.

The songs I listened to while creating Marvel characters Showtunes I’m a romantic guy; mostly I loved songs from shows. I would listen to showtunes from Camelot, for example. Anything from a show I loved. I wasn’t really much into rock ‘n’ roll – I like songs with good lyrics!

I was a big fan of Bing Crosby when I was a kid. I bought this one at Christmas and played it for my mother and father.

The last concert I went to KISS They invited me to sit near the stage and I was deafened. The music was so loud I had to run out screaming. It was quite a while ago, the ‘70s probably. They did a Marvel comic back then, and I got friendly with the guys. They made up to look like superheroes. I remember Gene [Simmons, bassist/singer] coming up to my office wearing those big shoes of his when he was getting his costume together. He said, ‘What do you think Stan, do these look right?’ I said, ‘People will certainly remember you...

I guess there was an actor and an actress that made a bunch of movies, Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald, and they had one called Rose Marie that registered with me. What did I like about? Jesus, it was just a good song! How can you say why you like something? You like a song or you don’t, right?

The first song I remember hearing - Adriana Caselotti ‘Whistle While You Work’ I think the first songs I remember are from Disney’s Snow White, ‘Whistle While You Work’ and all the rest. I watched at the movies when I was a little kid – I was a big Disney fan.
