Since I've already made such a big deal about how "Spider-Man" is one word...

Spiderman

You might notice there's no hyphen in that title. That's how they spelled it when the song was included in the 2005 box set Weird Tales of the Ramones, which for all I know is how it was spelled in 1995 when it was released as an unlisted bonus track on the Ramones final studio album, ¡Adios Amigos! CD, which I bought just for that secret track. A slightly different version of the song, also by the Ramones but spelled with the Marvel Comics approved hyphen, is on Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits, also from 1995, which I have never owned because most of its covers of classic cartoon themes are not improvements over the originals. Not every band can be the Ramones.
