I haven't seen this discussed, but it's a few weeks old, so I may've missed it...
The podcast Coverville, which is a music show of all cover songs, did a special Free Comic Book Day episode, The Comic Book Cover Story. I'm a bit behind in my podcasts, so I'm just getting to it today, but it is a ton of fun. Covers of "Sunshine Superman" and "Kryptonite", of the "Spider-Man", "Incredible Hulk", and "X-Men" themes, and more.
Check it out! http://coverville.com/archives/podcast/coverville-767-the-comic-book-cover-story/

Listening to it now. I'd previously been impressed with Michael Buble's Big Band version of the Spider-man theme, but I suspect he lifted it from the guys who play first on this programme.
That's a nice Celtic twist they put into Sunshine Superman.
Great programme, Alan. Thanks.
Everyone else will love this, I think.

...I haven't , really , the time to listed now...I presume you mean the Bixby/Ferrigno " I. Hulk " series ?
The five different series that ran within/under the ( infamously ) super-limited animation " Marvel Super-Heroes " TV series of the mid-Sixties , Hulk , Sub-Mariner , Iron Man , Captain America , and The Mighty Thor , all had the massive ( -sounding ) massed chorus-sung , sort of " big band/orchestral , theme songs that might sound incredibly crazy/weird to those under 40- , 35 , or so , I would suppose...
I've been remembering the Thor one:-)..." From the blooming gates of Asgard/where the ( something something ) roar/You'll behold in breathless wonder??/the God of Thunder - Miigghhttyy Thoorr !!!..."
