Songs of Superman

That Superman documentary is pretty interesting, eh?

Speaking of the Man Of Steel--I was looking over my iTunes library and it hit me: there are a lot of songs out there that are either about Superman or they reference Superman.

Here are the songs that I could think of that fit this category; please post any others in the comment section that I may have left out.

(The song titles with asterisks are in my iTunes library, btw.) :-)

"Sunshine Superman" by Donovan*
"(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by The Kinks*
"I Am Superman" by R.E.M.*
"Waitin' For A Superman" by The Flaming Lips*
"Pocket Full Of Kryptonite" by The Spin Doctors
"Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down
"Superman" by Five For Fighting

Okay, this doesn't have anything to do with Superman songs, but I just found out from Superhero Hype! (http://www.superherohype.com/) that there is a new X-men cartoon coming out called "Wolverine and the X-Men."

You can watch a trailer for it here:

I thought of another song.
"Cartoon Heroes" by Aqua mention Superman in the chorus. The song also references Spiderman.
Here's the music video for it:

I think the lyrics are great - the song came out in 2000 I think.

Kenny Rogers has some lyrics in his song "The Last Ten Years (Superman)" that are more toward Chirstopher Reeve, but he refers to him in the song as Superman

The flash has a song to. And I love your play list. If you coach debate next semester I’m going to tire and be in your van.
