"When It Started" is a song by the garage rock band The Strokes. It appears in the film Spider-Man as well as the film's soundtrack. Due to the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City the song replaced " New York City Cops" on the US version of the album Is This It after The Strokes witnessed the "valiant response" of the city's police department during the tragedy. [1] The vinyl release retained the original track list. [2] The song would later appear on the soundtrack album Music from and Inspired by Spider-Man (2002).
