The radio station I listen to on my way to work in the morning has this thing where they play the listeners mix. You send in a list of 10 songs, and they play the list. I was thinking of creating a theme list and sending in 10 songs all tied to Superman.
Hoping you cats can help with a list. If I have a question mark next to either the title of the artist, in means I am not sure of theinfoand would appreciate a confirmation.
1. I am Superman - REM 2. Superman Inside - Eric Clapton 3. Jimmy Olsen's Blues - Spin Doctors 4. Kryptonite (?) - 3 Doors Down (?) 5. It's Not Easy (?) - (?) 6. Can you Read My Mind - (?) who did the pop version? 7. 8. 9. 10.
others? I need 10.

I am no Superman, I have no answers for you. I am no hero, Aw, that's for sure. But I do know one thing: Where you are is where I want to be.
I think it's called "Superman." Who's the artist?

didn't Laurie Anderson do a song called something like "O Superman"? And stretching my poor tired brain back to me brothers roapy musical tastye from the early 80's, I think sure Rick Springfield did a song called "I'm not your superman" though you may have to check that one.

Maybe you already have this one, but it's by the Crashtest Dummies, I believe, with this line: "Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy".

There's also a beautiful song called "My Superman" on the soundtrack to the musical revue "The Gay 90s."
And Matchbox 20 did "Real World" which mentions him, but not by name. Crash Test Dummies did "Superman's Song." And "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" by the Kinks and "Superman (Where Are You)" by Black Sabbath. (I did a little Yahooing.)

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Superman song. Crash Test Dummies' Superman Song is the best one around.
Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle But Clark Kent, now there was a real gent He would not be caught sittin' around in no Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see Another man like him
Hey Bob, Supe had a straight job Even though he could have smashed through any bank In the United States, he had the strength, but he would now Folks said his family were all dead Their planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself To carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going
Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see Another man like him
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes But he could hardly string together four words: "I Tarzan, You Jane. "
Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back On man, join Tarzan in the forest But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes In dirty old phonebooths till his work was through And nothing to do but go on home
Superman never made any money For saving the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair the world will never see Another man like him
