Who Dugg It?

juttman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16No Jedi mind-trick will make me believe bro
WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45Seriously, I get dropped calls with AT&T all the frickin' time! When I'm standing perfectly still with 5 bars, no less...
- TekeeTakShak, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21You know what's worse? Cingular was pretty good for me...now that it merged with AT&T, I get dropped calls all the time. I didn't sign up for this *****! I woke up one day to find my wallpaper on the phone saying "AT&T" instead of "CINGULAR" and I immediately knew I was *****.
  - huskerdude, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1It's the same company, it's the same service. You did in fact literally sign up for it when you signed the contract.
    - LonesomeFighter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4no. cingular was the company with the fewest dropped calls. THEN they merge with AT&T and since AT&T is so awful at what they do, they now suck more than everyone else.
  - drjekelmrhyde, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Mine still say Cingular and ATTWS was way better than Cingular before the merger well atleast in my part of the country
  - StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1When SBC became (and by became I mean changed their name, as SBC was the one that bought them) AT&T, your DSL service did not mysteriously get worse. The same, I'm sure, is true with Cingular... just because they changed the name, merged the staff, and probably tossed some management personnel does not mean your cellular reception is suddenly going to get worse. Now, if they decided to start messing around with their own equipment that'd be something else altogether. PS: Before the buyout, AT&T already had a 20% hand in Cingular.
  - MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I was told by AT&T customer care that they were forced to turn off their old AT&T towers when they merged, and now are only using the Cingular network. They are having to install new towers to make up for it, and this is no fast process. If you live in an area where this happened, they will let you out of your contract immediately for free. I'm taking them up on it today.
- xGORDOx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I live in the Boston Area and I use Sprint. I don't know if they have a huge cell there or what but I have never had a "dropped call".
  I remember the adds for Verizon and AT&T advertising "no dropped calls" and I had no idea what they were talking about!
  - A-money, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4dude, I didn't know what a dropped call was until i switched to AT&T
- eschompthis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1makes me happy i stayed with great service T-Mobile
JKVM, on 10/10/2007, -4/+20Love my iPhone. Hate AT&T. At least it's my company paying for it, not me.
- fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -8/+2The problem is, T-Mobile isn't a hell of a lot better, so unlocking the iPhone won't do much good. Sigh...
  - madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I do think tmo is better then att.
    From my experience tmo has better customer service and better coverage (as those studies seem to say).
    - tdowling, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2"tmo"...is that what the kids are calling it nowadays? I keep falling behind in the lingo in my old age...
      - madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1no it's just people that work with many different wireless carriers and are lazy and need three letter acronyms for each ;)
  - acetv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't know, I have T-Mobile and I've had maybe three dropped calls in the five years I've been with them -- on the same phone, no less!
  - kronix2, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've been with T-Mobile for over six years, and I've *never* had a dropped call. Nor have I ever heard of somebody's call being terminated due to crappy service.
    
    But then, I don't live in the US. Where I live (the UK), the industry is heavily regulated to prevent this sort of thing from happening.
  - locojones, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Before I left Cingular, not a day went by that I didn't drop a call. Ever since I've been with T-Mobile, I haven't experienced a single dropped call. Yes, it's anecdotal, but that's my story.
unclesaamm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21I use AT&T, and I don't get a signal in my own house. Needless to say, I'm switching.
- finbec, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Same here...little or no service at my house. I contacted ATT about this and they basically told me to go pound sand, because they don't 'guarantee' service everywhere. Great company.
  - gregharmon, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I hate AT&T as much as the next guy on Digg, but what did you expect them to do? Put a tower up beside your house? :)
    - finbec, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Or maybe waive the contract termination fee so I can go with a company that DOES provide service to my area, moron.
      - reed311, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Each company provides you with a 30 day out clause (or similar time period) if you wish to void the contract. If you didn't have service at your home and you continued to stay with AT&T after that 30 days, then you are the moron. If you moved after your 30 days, that is your fault, not theirs.
      - StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I can sympathize with you, but we did, in fact, sign a contract that with no uncertain terms said there was a termination fee. They're working on the basis of if they do it for you, who else are they going to have to do it for? What are the mitigating circumstances that place you apart from everyone else? Your signal doesn't work at your house, okay, say they accept that. Someone else says it doesn't work at their work. Why is work different from your house? Are you using your cell as your only outside line for your home? That's not part of the deal; that's not their responsibility, so it doesn't matter. How often do you not get signal? All the time? What if someone doesn't get signal 95% of the time? They're not part of the exception? 90%? 85? 80? How do you quantify how often they don't have signal. Etc, etc, etc. -- On the other hand, did they give you any sort of 30-day money back guarantee? Try it out, see if the signal/service is good?
- SnuKs, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1This is the only reason im stuck with Verizon. Verizon is the only network which BARELY works in my house. If it wasn't for that I'd be rockin the iPhone.
- borninda818, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6the only other company worth considering is Verizon, which has good call quality and reception, but horrible phones. They are always one step behind the completion. And they are money hungry pigs who will screw their customers at a moments notice.
  
  Other then that there is T mobile which is worse than AT&T, and Sprint which I'm not so sure of...so basically you're ***** either way...go to Japan.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3My roommate's AT&T phone doesn't work in our house either.. isn't their network supposed to be nationwide?
  
  Nationwide.. except in residential areas.
  - vornan19, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Apologies to ZZ top.
    "They're bad. They're nation wide."
    - moofer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No apologies needed unless sporting a New York brim and a gold tooth.
- archer75, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Cell phone companies share towers. If you can't get reception with one you won't get it with another. It has more to do with the phone itself than anything else.
xOpifex, on 10/10/2007, -7/+10Sprint, on the other hand, is the network with the most dropped calls!
- pauleric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I've used Sprint for several years, and have never had a dropped call except for two particular people, so I figure it's their cell phone's fault. But I only travel once or twice a year, but even then I've never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky.
- xGORDOx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I just posted this above...
  
  I live in the Boston Area and I use Sprint. I don't know if they have a huge cell there or what but I have never had a "dropped call".
  
  I remember the adds for Verizon and AT&T advertising "no dropped calls" and I had no idea what they were talking about!
  - Tekmazter, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I live in the Boston area too. I've had Sprint in the past -some 4 years ago. Back then they were awful. I've been with Verizon ever since. I can't complain about dropped calls, but Cingular/AT&T south of Boston and towards the cape is spotty at best. Everyone can always get ahold of me, but calling someone from Cingular/AT&T is a crap shoot at best in some parts.
    
    As for the commercial "The carrier with the fewest dropped calls", isn't this all subjective to where you live? Only a complete moron would believe a study which looks at total numbers and not specific to their local area!
    - brufleth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I've lived in Boston for 7 years and had Sprint the whole time. In Boston, Sprint has always ruled. Verizon offers comparable service these days though.
- c2kris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I was a sprint customer 2 years ago, and my cell phone worked like a answering machine rather than a cell phone. almost all the calls would go to the voice mail directly. If I'm at home, I've to place it besides the window and run for it when the phone rings.
  
  and I need not mention that their customer service sucks big time.
  tail piece : one of my friends couldn't pay his sprint bill online, coz he don't have good credit history. WTF!!
Zeldafreak104, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Wait, you mean you didn't know they were lying?
Shigglyboo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1i think they have it set up so that your phone says you have signal when you don't.
sorta how the news will report the temperature and it will be 5-10 degrees lower than a real thermometer.
- cybrjoe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think this analogy is missing the "profit" step.
McLumpy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+33Is there any phone network that *doesn't* suck? Or at least isn't run by utter douchebags? This isn't sarcasm, I actually want to know.
- Phyltre, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Nope, there's not much real competition so they all suck with near-equal abandon.
- AdamFromMyspace, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13I've been on a nationwide T-mobile plan for four years now and haven't had any complaints.
- Chicken, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20Tmobile has the best customer service in my opinion and I haven't had much dropped calls at all but I do have those occasional calls that are crossed with another person's call.
  (I'm talking to a friend and all of a sudden the line cuts off and this lady is screaming in italian and me and her are confused and then we get switched back.)
  - HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4i agree 100%, i love my t-mobile service and customer support is pretty fast, about 5 min on hold all together, i had nextel and they were far worse a few years ago, and if anyone here uses metro pcs, i feel bad for you because they must have the worst call connection rate of any provider.
- fsumus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13Verizon completely cripples their phones, but their service has been impeccable for me. The only dropped calls I have gotten over 4 years is due to the other party.
  - BillyBIanks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8I second the "crippled" phones as well as the fact that Verizon virtually never drops my calls.
    I'm very happy, but I pay for it, trust me...
  - twrife, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7I lost calls on Verizon, but only because I live in Wyoming.
    They have fairly good deals though, but they are run by douchebags.
  - intense321, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. Verizon has the WORST record for dropped calls for me in the Colorado mountains (I drop over 75% of my calls). AT&T is the best. I really do think this stuff is very location-dependent... Which is why I subscribe to all 3 and forward the other two to whichever phone has the most # of bars at any given location.
treed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I dunno. I don't get a lot of dropped calls with AT&T. I do get a lot of calls where it suddenly goes silent for a while before the other party comes back.
grahambrunk, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2It seems to me that people loved it when it was Cingular, but when they assumed the AT&T name people didnt like that because of the conglomerate AT&T once was. This article has a few quirks itself, the company AT&T Wireless is non existent, the correct company name as we know it today is officially AT&T Mobility LLC. And the picture they used is from the old AT&T, and really has nothing to do with what they are talking about. Infact the old AT&T is also non existent. I think AT&T is fine, i have never dropped a call with them, and i would use them anyways even if my iPhone did not require it.
- FOUGHTANDWON, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0I'm one of those that was very happy with Cingular, and have been since it was houston cellular nearly 7 years ago. However, sometime shortly after the name changed from cingular to at&t, I've experienced about a 80% reduction in service while in my home. I find it hard to believe changing the name created this issue, but it doesn't change the fact that while in the house I have a very difficult time receiveing and making phone calls. I've been out of a contract for well over 3 years, but I'll likely just get a home phone rather than switching carriers.
CosmicBlend, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I carry a T-Mobile phone for my personal use and just recently got issued an ATT phone for work. I could not believe how horrible the call quality and dropped calls I get with my ATT phone. I am so happy that I have kept with T-Mobile for the last 4 years.
troyallen069, on 10/10/2007, -5/+3I had alot of dropped called with Verizon
- fugazi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I have never had a dropped call with Verizon. Well New Jersey isnt really an area where you cant find coverage though :P. Worked in Arizona too.
- BillyBIanks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I can't remember the last time Verizon dropped one of my calls. I've lived in Missouri and FL with the service without issues.
  I'm not one to suck a Corp's balls, but they really are a good company.
- intense321, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I have Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. Verizon has the WORST record for dropped calls for me in the Colorado mountains (I drop over 75% of my calls). AT&T is the best. I really do think this stuff is very location-dependent... Which is why I subscribe to all 3 and forward the other two to whichever phone has the most # of bars at any given location.
XBunnyRacer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I have AT&T... I will be sitting at a stop light and go from 5 bars to no service to 3 bars to no service, etc.. WHILE I'M SITTING STILL.. My contract is up in 2 months.. I'm soooo switching.. I can't freakin' wait..
- archer75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Cell service has more to do with the phone than anything else. Get a new phone and you'll see a difference. People complain about this or that cell carrier but when they switch and start saying how everything is better what they really got was a new phone. Cell companies all share the same towers.
  - XBunnyRacer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0This is my 4th phone with them.. I've always had this problem, as does my husband with all of his phones..
    And not all cell companies use the same towers. One one side of the small town I live in one provider gets good reception and I get none, but it's the opposite for my carrier.
- MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This happens where I live too. Even stranger, very often when my phone shows bars, they drop down to zero bars the moment I hit the send button. This happens regularly. If I didn't pay a pretty penny for my Blackjack, I would have thrown it out the ***** window of my jeep.
expat001, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9AT&T will instead boast that they have: "more bars in more places."

Are they referring to the amount of their customers who get put behind bars through their compliance with the US government?
- zonagirl, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Or maybe they are catering to alcoholics!
j0keR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Next time don't go with a provider that's actively working with the government to wiretap your calls and monopolize your internets.
gianttoolbox11, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4i just switched to AT&T from verizon a few weeks ago.....(bangs head into wall repeatedly)
- Spidey99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2I feel your pain...we just signed up three phones with at&t on 2 year contracts!!! And we are getting dropped calls...even got a dropped call when we were talking to at&t customer support!!!!
- ZepFloyd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1(you should)
- willynilly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Condolences. Same here. AT&T is absolute *****. Worse than Verizon was six years ago or more; it's literally unusable for anything more than primitive, short exchanges.
  
  And true enough about the fake signal-strength readings. Sure, there's radio energy in the frequency range, but you know what it is? VERIZON CUSTOMERS actually carrying on conversations!
skottles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I used to have T-Mobile and in the seven years i was with them i could count how many times i had a dropped call on one hand. Now i am with ATT (and the iPhone) and my phone drops calls a hand full of times in a given week. Is it ATT or the iPhone? or a combo of both? I would go back if i could at this point.
- diggmaddy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Count my vote for T-Mobile. I can't understand why people keep cursing them for "bad network". I have roamed all over the US with my T-Mobile phone and am yet to witness any "no service" or dropped calls within the last 2 years of me being with them.
jhnewt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Oh good, they're dropping this lie for another one. (fewest drop calls -> more bars in more places)
vladin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's funny and true. Just on a call that dropped.
RaveX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1My (AT&T originally, then Cingular, now AT&T again) service has always had this issue where it won't drop a bad connection-- it'll still be ticking away, claiming it has a connection (and billing me for it), even though I can't hear the other person, and they can't hear me. I have to do the hanging up myself. That (and the fact that they have terrible gaps in their coverage) has made the "fewest dropped calls" claim always a little suspicious to me.
- FOUGHTANDWON, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0it was AT&T then Cingular, but now it's at&t....biiggg difference. Either way you spell it, it sucks
nzezelj89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10LAWL!! good thing t-mobile rocks, i noticed they started using "fewest dropped calls in chicago", well, that was after i bought my phone, but still, it was a good feeling inside, plus, when i was with Cingular, the customer support was HORRIBLE!! T-mobile was quick and simple, glad i switched :-) BTW, sorry for anyone that bought the iPhone, great phone....***** service
onlyclave, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Look people, all cell phone carriers are great AND they all suck at the same time. Where one carrier has great coverage another has a black hole and ALL of them drop calls. It's a frickin' radio for chrissakes. There is no sense in bitching about one carrier over another. I sold cell phones from ATnT, Sprint, T-mob, Verizon, and Nextel for 8 years and I had a dealer line with all of them so I know where they work and where they don't. If you want a cool phone just go get the cool phone and forget about who the carrier is. You're going to hate them anyway.
- StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Someone dugg onlyclave down? Isn't it an acceptable fact that there is no such thing as a perfect cellular service since none of them guarantee 100% coverage 100% of the time? Furthermore, interference can easily disrupt your signal even in the most well-covered area. -- Still, onlyclave, a tad harsh to say everyone'll hate their carrier. Personally I have no problems with Cingular/AT&T, myself. On the other hand, I rarely use my cell phone.
- willynilly, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2After using Verizon and AT&T in L.A. and Chicago, I know this: AT&T sucks ass, much worse than Verizon.
danasghar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I switched to T-Mo from Att&t and was amazed how good their phone and customer service was. My partner has the same blackberry with att and is constantly dropping calls and pays way more than i do a month with similar minutes
brusty, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10I'm officially moving to T-Mobile. Since I moved to Los Angeles three months ago, reception has been horrible with many dropped calls. Screw AT & T.
- CharlesSaint007, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I was just visiting California last week and had MULTIPLE times where I had no bars right in the heart of the city (LA), outdoors, on the street. I have a Blackjack which supports 3G, and I was extremely excited to be in a major metropolitan area that actually had 3G coverage, but AT&T quickly took a crap all over that dream and had me just wishing I could make a call a few times. But when it did work, the browsing speeds were fast, but I suspect any Verizon/Sprint user is used to similar performance with EV-DO.
idiggitall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I always thought they were able to claim they had the fewest dropped calls because they had the fewest subscribers. That would make sense.
anarchyx34, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3When I had T-mobile, I never had dropped calls. Now with AT&T, it happens occasionally. I'm still not complaining. Cellphone service as a whole is 10x better than it was years ago.
Randomprophit, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ha! I knew it. I had a strange inkling when I couldn't get any bars standing next to an att tower.
etx313, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I barely ever get a dropped call on my Alltel service. maybe two in the last 6 months. Had was more with sprint but it was never so out of control that it was an issue.
commernie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This might sound like a troll, but I promise it isn't. Except in an extreme case of dropping calls frequently, does anyone care about dropped calls? I mean, would anyone pay more money to have 0.5% of dropped calls as opposed to, say 1%? I wouldn't, but there might be different opinions on this. I ask because there is so many ads that deal with dropped calls and coverage that I figure someone has to care about this. Same goes for coverage.
jdawg19, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Bury me, but DUH!
threadless01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Of course they aren't - that's Cingular!
reed311, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I used to work for a regional cell phone provider. Let's remember that cell phone technology is in it's relative infancy. Each carrier is bound to have really bad coverage areas while also having really good coverage areas. It is very difficult to "blanket" entire zones, because of the nature of the technology, fcc limitations/licensing, and physical barriers; as well as having to deal with a limited spectrum. The more customers you have, the more of that tiny spectrum gets used up and the FCC has to issue a fair amount to each carrier. It's actually quite amazing what they are able to do with it.
MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3HAH!

I laughed when I saw this because I'm switching over to Verizon today. Switching from my Blackjack to a Q. AT&T service went to ***** here in the last few months. I have no service at home now, and I live in a well populated area, with an AT&T store literally a mile and a half away. Get this.. I get between zero and 1 bars standing in the AT&T store.

T-mobile is pretty T-bagged out here as well, but Verizon is good. I'm bummed about the iphone, but there will be some nice Nokias coming down the line soon.
faskippy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I'd like to see them try to pull some crap about me not being able to get out of my contract early without penalties. I'd simply remind them of the consumer laws and false representation. It slices both ways, ya know?
appetite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5'Fewest dropped calls' is a useless number. My own cell phone company has the fewest dropped calls: zero. It also has zero calls.
heystoopid, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0A T & T , are merely obeying the Wall Street mantra which is called ***** on all your customers to maximise the salaries and pay of the top half dozen to the exclusion of all else !
HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2honestly, more companies should(and most likely will) go the way of t-mobile, because i can attest to how great the hot-spot at home is. they have been my favorite provider in the past few years, i had a work nextel and it was silly how many times calls would drop, the direct connect worked better than the real calls.
archer75, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't get alot of dropped calls with AT&T. Or with any other company I have had. In fact all companies have about the same coverage area here(they all share the same towers) and call quality is about the same. It's the phones themselves that make all the difference. I have gone through a few and the differences in call quality and signal strength on the same carrier is amazing.
MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1For those of you who didn't know: You can get out of your AT&T contract right now in many cases.

AT&T, now that they were purchased by Singular, had to give up the old AT&T network towers. This is what happened in my area and resulted in almost no service all throughout my city. I get zero service at my home. I'm told that some time in 08 they will have new towers here. Simply ridiculous.

AT&T Customer Care said they will let people out of their contracts if they are in one of the areas where service went to ***** due to the towers being shut off. I'm in the process of switching today. I've waited 2 months for these ***** to get my service back up to a reasonable level, and they haven't.
- HOOKSTER1231, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1i think there are some facts wrong with your comments..
  - MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Ok, well tell it to ***** customer care who let me out of my contract today for this very reason. I was 6 months into a 2 year contract and they ended it. I gave you the same explanation they gave me. Take it up with them.
atb12688, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I have a Blackjack and i've never had a dropped call here in STL. Friend of mine switched to Verizon so he could get signal in his basement but he says it isn't worth it because 1 in 6 calls are dropped. ATT has been good to me and their 3G networks are pretty fast. I get great call quality too.
cricket01, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I swore I would never go back to AT&T, but when I was looking for a new phone I was distracted by all of shiny things they had, and switched back from Verizon and bought a blackjack. I have never had so many dropped calls in my life, and as for the bars, huh! I have less bars in more places than my wife who is still on Verizon by a long shot. I end up using her phone to make calls at least a couple of times a week. In OC / LA SoCal area my experience has been Verizon has AT&T beat everyday and twice on Sunday.
Brianguy2000, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0I rarely get dropped calls in southern california with ATT. I just get "network busy" all the time :
sephiroth4, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Digg me down, but I've always loved my Sprint.
rupprupp29, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1T-Mobile doesn't have dropped calls because NO ONE HAS T-MOBILE
- madeingermany, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4T-Mo has about 27 million subscribers (Q2/07)
  including most people I work with
CopperGoddess, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1AT&T= The Devil, to be concise.
jonshipman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I've honestly only had 2 or 3 dropped calls since going with T-mobile back in feb. And even then it was while driving through bo-dunk county
mrkmrk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I dunno. I've got AT&T on my Pearl, and I always get better reception than my friends with other networks. Maybe I'm the exception to the rule, then.
LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -0/+2Left AT&T for T-Mobile four years ago. Never going back...even for the iPhone.

Spiderman, Spiderman,
Does whatever a spider can
Spins a web, any size,
Catches thieves just like flies
Look Out!
Here comes the Spiderman.

Is he strong?
Listen bud,
He's got radioactive blood.
Can he swing from a thread
Take a look overhead
Hey, there
There goes the Spiderman.

In the chill of night
At the scene of a crime
Like a streak of light
He arrives just in time.

Spiderman, Spiderman
Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
Wealth and fame
He's ingnored
Action is his reward.

To him, life is a great big bang up
Whenever there's a hang up
You'll find the Spider man.
