It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a...Nataly Dawn?
Superman's Song is by the Crash Test Dummies
Lyrics:
Tarzan wasn't a ladies' man
He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin' alone in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing
Chorus:
Superman never made any money
For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world will never see
Another man like him
Hey Bob, he had a straight job
Even though he could have smashed through any bank
In the United States, he had the strength, but he wouldn't
Folks said his family were all dead
His planet crumbled but Superman made himself
Carry on, forget Krypton, and keep going
Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
But he could hardly put four words together: "I Tarzan, You Jane."
Sometimes when he was stopping crimes
I bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back
On man, join Tarzan in the jungle
But he stayed in the city, and kept on changing clothes
In dirty old phonebooths till his job was through
Nothing to do but go home

brycewi19Wait, where's Jack?
harpomsays...I really liked this. They all did a great job. Good luck.
GrimmWhile Pomplamoose is still together both Jack and Dawn have solo projects. This is from Dawn's solo project leading up to her first solo cd.>> ^brycewi19:

XaxMore miss than hit, but she's still a cool cat.
spoco2I upvote because I love the original... but this really isn't a patch on it. Loses some of the original charm.
budzosOkay, but seems like a lot of random stylization without regard for the feeling behind the song. It's meant to be a funeral dirge.
The original makes me cry. No shit. Superman is the new Jesus.
