Trivia

• Burt Ward (AKA Herbert John Gervis Jr) decided upon his professional surname by using his mother's maiden name. He subsituted the e with the u in his first name to add more of a "punch."
• At the height of the Batman popularity, Ward recorded a series of tracks under the production of Frank Zappa. The first two, "Boy Wonder, I Love You" (which Zappa wrote) and "Orange Colored Sky" were released as a single on November 14, 1966. Two other tracks from these sessions, "Teenage Bill of Rights" and "Autumn Love," remained unreleased. http://www.lukpac.org/~handmade/patio/weirdo/unreleased.html#burtward
