Burt Ward


Here's Burt Ward (TV's "Robin the Boy Wonder" from Batman) performing "Boy Wonder I Love You" on a record I am told was written by none other than Frank Zappa. (It was 1966, so he probably knocked this out during the "Freak Out!" sessions).

This manages to be both horrible, ill-advised, and creepy - the trifecta, if you will, of bad vanity records. (Was it intended to be a joke?) Stick around for the ending, when "Boy Wonder" clarifies something we're all thinking about the source of the bizarre fan letter he's reading.
