R.E.M. did a song called “Superman.”


It’s actually a cover, they didn’t write it.

Lots of Superman songs. More than I recalled. Lois Lane blew his cover. That should be a lesson.

I concur: You don’t tug on Superman’s cape! Jim Croce had some great songs.

Thumbs up. Skylarking is an amazing album.

Shoot, their entire catalog is amazing.

‘It’s actually a cover, they didn’t write it.”

Yeah, it’s a cover with Mills on vocals, and he nails it.

No question about it. Pat Boone’s “Superman Song” was so powerful, that Superman himself had to stop it from being performed in “Lois Lane #9”.

There was also a novelty record in the ‘70s (hit #1 I believe) called”Black Superman”. It was about Mohammad Ali.

Contenders - Heaven 17

A frontier wilder than the West ever was
No sheriff round this outlaw town
So Superman if you’re listening
Help us out you’re on the team

For truth and justice, the American way
The fight for right’s not what it seems - with laser beams
