Songs About Superman

It's a bird… It's a plane… Nope, it's just a bunch of songs with "Superman" in the title, several of which are actually about the Man of Steel. Amazingly enough, there were quite a few songs to choose from. Check out which ones made the cut. Oh, yeah...and enjoy!  ~  JH

1)  Daughtry  ~  "Waiting For Superman"

2)  Joe Brooks  ~  "Superman"

3)  Five For Fighting  ~  "Superman (It's Not Easy)"

4)  Bon Jovi  ~  "Superman Tonight"

5)  Crash Test Dummies  ~  "Superman's Song"  (Probably the best song this ever band ever did. Which isn't saying much, really, but this song actually is quite good.)

6)  Snoop Dogg ft. Willie Nelson  ~  "Superman"  (Despite the singular reference to pot – not a big shocker considering the parties involved – this is a surprisingly good collaboration between two of the unlikeliest of artists.)

7)  R.E.M.  ~  "Superman"  (No official music video here, but a good song nonetheless.)

8)  Lazlo Bane  ~  "Superman"  (Fans of "Scrubs" might be interested in finally hearing the full version of that show's theme song.)

9)  The Big Pink  ~  "Hit The Ground (Superman)"

10)  Black Coffee ft. Bucie  ~  "Superman"

11)  The Spankers  ~  "Superman"  (If the band's name isn't enough to scare you away, I should warn you that the video also involves a large group of people in superhero costumes dancing to reggae music.)

12)  Donovan  ~  "Sunshine Superman"

13)  The Flaming Lips  ~  "Waitin' For A Superman (Is It Gettin' Heavy?)"

14)  Alison McCallum  ~  "Superman"  (Never heard of this lady before, but she's got a raw but powerful, Janis Joplin-like vibe to her voice.)

15)  Dio  ~  "Sunset Superman"

16)  Big Head Todd & The Monsters  ~  "Resignation Superman"

17)  Barbra Streisand  ~  "Superman"

18)  Alanis Morissette  ~  "Superman"  (Here's Alanis Morissette like you've never heard her before. And probably never will again! As a teenager in the very early-'90s, Alanis was making cheesy pop music that sounded like…well, all the other cheesy pop music back then. Let's just say I much prefer the direction she ended up taking with her music.)

19)  Kevin Costner & Modern West  ~  "Superman 14"

20)  Our Lady Peace  ~  "Superman's Dead"  (Oh well, I guess that's that, then.)
