Songs involving actual mentions of Legionnaires or of their names.
First, one I just found by L.A. Guns off of the album titled "Shrinking Violet".
We pick the ultra-violets We get to wear the made up fantasy We like to spin the bottle Hogs on the road, you and me You got the vice to pull you in Watch the cobra shed his skin You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet You've got the hand in pocket The hand that bites and feeds our family I've got the magic potion It's called the anaconda snake Down go two fingers Heard you like all the lead singers You got the vice to pull you in Watch the cobra shed his skin You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet Yeah How many ways to fly You're going for a ride Tell me, how many ways to fly You're going for it, you're going for it You got the vice to pull you in Watch the cobra shed his skin You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet You're a sexy violet, shrinking violet Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet Come on, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet Oh, you're a sexy violet, shrinking violet

I'm still on the hunt for this song by Yoyodyne from the album Every Seven Seconds. Here is The Wedding of Bouncing Boy:
Matter-Eater Lad was finally glad after shedding that 13 pounds and Duo Damsel was getting hard to handle making the banquet table rounds she'd been in quite a whirl since she'd been Triplicate Girl and she needed a brand new toy so she loaded up her dad, and everything she had she kicked her hips at Ultra Boy and Lightning Lad As Fire Boy's breath was breathing down her neck she seemed so cautious and coy at the wedding of Bouncing Boy
Chemical King was passing round a ring and Phantom Girl took a dose she couldn't really vanish do she started speaking Spanish as she fazed right through the wall to make a toast she'd been lost since she got rid of the invisible kid and she had an eye for other Legion boys but Duo Damsel seemed to be living out her dreams she was two babes alive flirting with Brainiac Five the Rabbi had to laugh as she split herself in half to dance with Chameleon Boy at the wedding of Bouncing Boy
In came Kid Flash, complaining 'bout a rash he'd picked up vibrating round the world and we all had to wonder why he wasn't six feet under after stealing Superboy's girl but the legion rules said once that you were wed you found another way to be employed but they surely must have known as super powers go bouncing round and splitting up were not that much to show the things that they did to the Chlorophyll Kid all must have seemed like a ploy at the wedding of Bouncing Boy

From Paula Cole's album Harbinger comes this song.
Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl.
Far away, ot an infinite world I escape I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid. Sunless days, in my sheltered Milky Way In Saturn's rings I feel no pain.
In my heart, in my head Oh, Saturn Girl has always bled No you're not, from this world Saturn Girl.
I can't explain, why I don't belong to the same world I don't fit in, and I will not stay. I want to fly, oh I long for my violet skies My astral nights, my peace of mind.
Chorus
Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl. Saturn Girl, I'd rather be lost in my empyrean world Than be down on earth.
Chorus
Everybody tries to break my dreams to break through, They don't believe in my words, they don't believe in my world. "Oh you're lost in another world, Oh you're lost you Saturn Girl, oh you crazy girl, Oh you Saturn Girl..."

From P.O.D's self titled album (Payable on Death) we get Wildfire:
Come and give me that wildfire The uncivilized sound that I love The primitive ragga blaze style Consciousness vibes I and I know The untamed flame that I desire Me want uncultivated Jah glow Foolish intensity, versatile Fly the spirit high, take me higher
[Chorus:] One leads with the passion The righteous will burn again One bleeds everlasting Tribal fire will never end [repeat]
I want to feel that wildfire Irregular burning of the sun Shining through make you spit fire Savage combustion, let it go Impetuous fervor testifier Outlandish passions I know Crucial rhythms no denial Musical nation, empire
[Chorus]
[repeat chorus]
Bet you thought I was going to post that Michael Martin Murphy song from the 70's didn't you?

Or this Wildfire song from Sabbat's Dreamweavers.
In thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth out of sight. Many a strange thing will you dream - Though it is never what it seems
Awakened from my troubled sleep - Where dreams once lost as Nightmares creep, To steal my soul and suffocate What sanity remains. My anger mute - My anguish blind Within this sad fragmentmented mind, Your eyes the spark to light fire That burns away my pain.
Protected by reality- Yet you still fear the beast in me,
Your reckless tongue could be the key, You'll be the first to die If it breaks free.
Alone tonight- Myself and I, On raven wings our spirits fly. All hope has fallen out of sight, Without the wit or will to fight. I face up to my destiny- You'll see another side to me, A love that dare not speak it's Name is born tonight of sweat andFlame and ...
Wildfire - hallucinations Fill my mind with Wildfire - a love so strong That it is blind. Wildfire - a dream of such Intensity, Wildfire - it verges on Insanity.
Protected by reality- Yet you still fear the beast in me, Your reckless tongue could be the key, You'll be the first to die If it breaks free.
In screams of raw emotion Down my cheeks the tears flow, With my tongue tied I damn these Eyes that let my feelings show.
Bursting with frustration - Feel the cancer eat my mind, Flirting with damnation - To all dangers I am blind. Twisted and contorted - Forsaken and forlorn,
Like the love you have aborted - Yet tonight I am reborn in ...
Wildfire - we're like theSpider and the fly, Wildfire- upon your webEnsnared am I. Wildfire - bound by threads That hold me tight, Wildfire, so sweet the kiss So cruel the bite. How could you be such a fool, To dare to break the golden rule? Yet in the light of day I see That you were right -The fool is me! In screams of raw emotion Down my cheeks the tears flow, With my tongue tied I damn these
Eyes that let my feelings show.
Bursting with frustration - Feel the cancer eat my mind, Flirting with damnation - To all dangers I am blind. Twisted and contorted - Forsaken and forlorn, Like the love you have aborted - Yet tonight I am reborn.
Now muy futile cries for help Are drowned in laughter. Searching though I know I'll Never find what I'm after.
I seek a release from thisWeb of deciet - Now my terror is growing. There is no escape From my fate
It's too late - All my fears are showung. Though I'm running from Something that just isn't there - The panic is real, And you must be blind for My words cannot hide the Heartache I feel ...
Please God help me now.

I'm a live wire, I'm a live wire, I'm a live wire Gonna set this town on fire
And if you need some lovin' And if you need some man You've got the phone and the number And I got no future plans Oh come on honey you got nothin' to lose You got the thirst 'n I got the booze Give you an inch Take you a mile I wanna make you fry
I'm a live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) Holy smoke and sweet desire
Like a hot rod baby? Oh stick this in your fuse box
Aah cooler than a body on ice Hotter than a rollin' dice Wilder than a drunken fight You're gonna burn tonight
I'm a live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) And I'm gonna set this town on fire
Live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) Well I'm your live wire, (live wire) I'm a live wire, (live wire) You're gonna burn Ah look at me, guilty ......

Here's another for Rokk called Cosmic Boy by a group called Spock and their album Alien Worlds.
All around in space you can hear About a guy without any fear Doing anything at all as long as it pays Living in danger is what he prefers Breaking laws and meet beautiful girls Every little second is usable, his life is a race
Cosmic boy Cosmic boy Looking for action looking for joy Cosmic boy Cosmic boy
He is wanted everywhere but he really doesn't care He escapes the police in his super ship laughing, waving good-bye If you need some weapons for a private little war Or a new kind of love you haven't seen before A not so legal cargo transfer to another place just ask this guy
Cosmic boy Cosmic boy Looking for action looking for joy Cosmic boy Cosmic boy

Tool has a great song called Triad but its only an instrumental. So in its stead, here is Triad by Jefferson Airplane.
You want to know how it will be Me and him OR you and me You both stand there your long hair flowing Your eyes alive your mind still growing Saying to me--"What can we do now that we both love you", I love you too-- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three You are afraid--embarrassed too No one has ever said such a thing to you Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder Face like ice--a little bit colder Saying to you--"you can not do that, it breaks All the rules you learned in school" I don't really see Why can't we go on as three We love each other--it's plain to see There's just one answer comes to me --Sister--lovers--water brothers And in time--maybe others So you see--what we can do--is to try something new-- If you're crazy too-- I don't really see Why can't we go on as three.

2 1/2 years. 2 1/2 years I've been looking for this album. No reply to e-mail and snail mail returned. Nothing comes up on the file sharing sites and alternative music channels.
Well Michael was talking about a group called the Legion of Super-Heroes at the Omnicom tonight and I decided maybe I'd give the search another try, been over six months. And I found it. Got a hit on eBay of all places and a seller in NY had a copy of the CD on Buy it Now. Well I did and will (hopefully) have the disc in my hands next week. If anyone is interested in hearing the track, let me know.

One from one of my new favorite groups, Blue October.
Chameleon Boy
I changed my color for you I shed my coat with caution I lack the beauty you display See here there are the bruises And some were self-inflicted And some showed up along the way So i nod my head Im ready for the world to see The secret i kept here inside the man you thought id be Slip into coma calm The coma where i calm myself down Here comes excuses why i let you down
Stand by for another breakdown Sound off the alarm Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become Chameleon boy Chameleon boy
So now weve come upon the hardest thing ive ever done Its telling you that im a mess What sort of mess i mean Is self-destructive gasoline The kind that strips you of your best And while i play insteadthe way that most would end up dead You sleep alone at home and wish that i was in our bed With this im telling you My color changes back to blue How do i ask you this Will you help me through
Stand by for another breakdown Sound off the alarm Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become Stand by for another breakdown Sound off the alarm Is this the chameleon boy i swore i wouldnt become Chameleon boy Chameleon boy
I try to think of all the people i look up to Or growing up who would i be Now the twisted part Whered all my idols end up They all passed away Passed away
Stand by Its chameleon boy Stand by Its chameleon boy Chameleon Boy I'm chameleon boy... Chameleon boy...
