Before the Marvel blockbuster arrives this summer, composer Michael Giacchino (Lost) provides an inside look at his score for Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thought we’ve heard this theme covered and parodied before, check out what Giacchino does with the track with an orchestra.

According to Slash Film, The Incredibles composer is currently busy finalizing the superhero score. On his Twitter account, Giacchino provided listeners with his take on the Spider-Man theme song.

In the plot, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) juggles being a high school student and a superhero after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Peter returns home in New York, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), and is kept under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Emerging as a new villain, The Vulture (Michael Keaton) threatens everything Peter holds dear.

Here are 5 random thoughts about Michael Giacchino’s take on the 1967 theme:

5. Have A Listen Here:

4. It Screams Epicness!

The classic cartoon theme has finally been given an orchestral arrangement! The violinist gives it her all as the conductor directs the musical performance. During the crescendo, the orchestra delivers a full blast of wonderful sounds.

3. How Does It Compare To The Original?

The Lost composer has revamped renditions from previous works. Giacchino retooled the themes from Star Trek and Mission Impossible. This version isn’t as campy and light-hearted like in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy; nor does this track rock like The Ramones!

2. The Lyrics By Paul Francis Webster & Robert “Bob” Harris!

“Spider-Man, Spider-Man,

Does whatever a spider can

Spins a web, any size,

Catches thieves just like flies

Look Out!

Here comes The Spider-Man.”

1. It’s Music To My Ears!

Spider-Man: Homecoming arrives in theaters on July 7th, 2017.
