Wow, all this time, I thought the R.E.M. song was original. It's still cool.

I thought the same thing. The Cliques song is on youtube.

Most of you probably won't know the Supergirl song, but it's awsome. Check it out on YouTube.

Supermans' Song, by the Crash Test Dummies, of course.

*Sidney Osinga* · Feb 19, 2009, 06:16 pm

What? No Sunshine Superman by Donovan? That's not right.

what the 'ell?? where's Our Lady Peace's Superman's Dead?????

*Alan Lynch* · Feb 19, 2009, 09:33 pm

Waitin' for a Superman by The Flaming Lips is one of the greatest songs inspired by anything. Ever.

Very true, I had forgotten about that fantastic tune. I was fortunate enough to see OLP live as an opening act for Van Halen during their Balance tour. Great memories.

another one overlooked:

Thats Really Super, Supergirl - XTC

No Flaming Lips Waiting for Superman? For shame.

*Phil Hunn* · Jul 25, 2010, 07:47 am

Where's Metallica's Justice For All? It's Superman's favourite song, after all

Or Was Not Was' Walk the Dinosaur?
