There was a hero in the pulp magazines of the 1930s called The Spider. A detective-adventurer kind of like The Shadow, I suppose. (I've never read any of the stories. I have only heard about it.) I don't think the character graduated to radio dramas or movie serials like some other pulp fiction characters, but I like to think of this as the theme song for such a production.
My wife and I sing this one (and many other TMBG tunes, most of Fingertips for example) to each other on the regular. It's a for sure favorite. Fun piece and I think you are right about the meaning of the song. That's how I thought of it.

I would happily accept this.
