Those were both great! AI has gotten much better in the last year.

I remember some unsettling and creepy ones.

Interesting story. I remember that song playing on the AM radio when I was just a lad.

REM's version was a cover! The original version of "Superman" was written and recorded in 1969 by a Texas band called The Clique. SUPERMAN BY THE CLIQUE

Apparently the song was actually rather complex and not easy for the band to learn!
