The group denied this startling assumption. “Itʹs about a magic dragon named Puff” they said. So there. The trio recorded a dozen hits that charted between 1962 and 1969. “Puff” was their third song. It went to number two on the pop charts and puffed around for nearly three months.

Pursuing the lost treasure of pirate Captain Manx, Catwoman lures Batman and Robin (Burt Ward) to her hideout. She nearly does them in, but they break free and track her down. In the chase, she falls off a rocky ledge into a bottomless pit. But Catwoman had nine lives and appeared in eight more episodes. Although Newmar turned over her cat ears to Eartha Kitt, the first Catwoman remains the best. Meow and forever.
