Random Geeky Nerd Dork Song Showdown
Anyways, this time the question is: who played it better? Which song wins out between...
BOMBERMAN 64 and SPIDERMAN!?
You'll notice that both franchises use the exact same melody! They use the same arrangement, same catchy grooves, and basically are the same song (aside from the lyrics.)

Of course, the Spiderman theme song wins out for being first on the scene. It was released in 1967 for the cartoon show! It was composed by 2 random dudes from New York and has been endlessly parodied since.
BUT! Here's the thing, the Spiderman theme song was replaced in my cultural collective by the Bomberman 64 commercial during the 1997 holiday season. And it stayed there. Forever.
I remember watching this commercial almost everyday back in '97, as it was basically on constant repeat. As for the game itself -- well, it was good but not great. I enjoyed the creative use of bombs and 3D mechanics to achieve the objectives, leading to an amazingly fun single player; an interesting multiplayer; some cool Easter Eggs; but basically leaving the game a one-time play-through at the end.
I digress! So which one wins out? Who's song is better!?
