Hang-Ups is Goldfinger's second album. Many of the album's tracks feature more of a ska sound than their debut. The album's first single "This Lonely Place" was not as successful as "Here in your Bedroom", a single off their debut album, but it did gain them numerous talk show appearances and spins of the video, which parodies the 1978 film Alien.
Like their self-titled debut, the horns on the album are provided by several members of the Orange County ska scene, most notably Dan Regan and Scott Klopfenstein of Reel Big Fish on trombone and trumpet, respectively.
"Superman" was used in several scenes for the film Kingpin. Also, years after its release, the song "Superman" was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

JAPRsays...HOLY SHIT. I haven't heard this song for God knows how long, I didn't even know who it was by. Thanks for sifting!
JAPRsays...You're starting to get a disproportionate representation in my "rock sift favorites" playlist, by the way.
