I've started this thread to gather up song titles and artists. Maybe I'll actually figure out how to burn a CD. I'll go first with a blast from the past: "Jimmy Olsen's Blues" by the Spin Doctors (from the album "Pocket Full of Kryptonite") Lyrics -Wanda "He's a man. I'm a woman. Do you want me to draw you a diagram?" -Lois Lane, I've Got a Crush on You.

Paul When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Who would they be? Scully: I only get five? Mulder: I remembered your birthday this year, didn't I, Scully? (The X-Files)

As far as I know the Foo Fighters have never sung it, but they have similar names, so it's easy to mix them up. Not all of these are directly about Superman, but they mention his name: Sister Hazel - Superman Dave Matthews Band - Where Are You Going? Three Doors Down - Kryptonite Lazlo Bane - Superman (the theme to Scrubs) REM - I Am Superman Bob Schneider - Big Blue Sea The Dixie Chicks - Godspeed Zoomway (no, not the same one ) - Lois Lane John Mayer - 83 Goldfinger - Superman Here are some that say something about heroes in general: Matchbox 20 - Real World Remy Zero - Save Me (the theme to Smallville) Mariah Carey - Hero Enrique Iglesias - Hero Chad Kroeger - Hero (the theme to Spider-Man) Bif Naked - Spaceman Bonnie Tyler - Holding Out for a Hero That's all I can think of right now. ~Anna

Quote "Supergirl" by Crystal (I think) Searching Kazaa, I found two songs named 'Supergirl': One by Krystal and one by Reamonn. Quote Mariah Carey - Hero There are also two Spanish versions of this song, one by Mariah Carey and one by Natalia. Quote Here are some that say something about heroes in general: How about ABBA's 'Super Trouper'? I found more songs, but they have all already been mentioned. AnnaBtG.

I don't know if it refers directly to Supermanverse, other than by the title, but, those are the few I could remember: "Faster than a speed of light" by Bonnie Tyler "le fils de Superman" by Celine Dion "Pocket full of kryptonite" by Spin Doctors "Superfly" by Curtis Mayfield "Superwoman (Where Were You When I Needed You?)" by Stevie Wonder "Waiting For A Superman" by Chris Mills "Superman" by Joyce Davis "Superman" by Dale Hawkins "Superman" by Dale Wailin' "Superman" by Barbara Streisand Carole

Here are the lyrics tho' the song reminds me more of Dean after the show was cancelled. Anne >^,,^< "I only know how to make four things, and this is the only one without chocolate."
