Is Superman the king of Superhero Songs?

[Junkdrawer]

Kinks - Catch me now I'm falling

 

Captain America

[bc]

First thing that came to my head was the Kinks - (Wish I could fly like) Superman.

 

Satriani has a thing for the Silver Surfer. On his Flying in a Blue Dream album he has a song titled "Return to Shalla-Bal".

Jimmy Buffet has a Captain America song too

[ttfitz]

Iron Man

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

 

Does that really count, since the Iron Man in the song isn't the comic book Iron Man?

I'm drawing a blank. Help me out.

Iron Man

Black Sabbath - Iron Man

Everyone knows that was written for the Legion of Doom.

i believe this thread is overlooking the classic: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells performed by

Every 7 Year Old in the USA

[Chicago Boy]

Don't tug on SUperman' cape is a line from "Don't mess around with Jim" By JIm Croce

 

Also, Chalie Puth has a song in the top 40 now called Just Call Me which references superman

 

I may be off a bit on both titles but you get the gist

 

Supes is the king of super hero songs and action 1 is the king of comics

[01TheDude]

 

Laurie Anderson - O Superman

 

This song By Laurie Anderson immediately came to mind for me...

[bronze_rules]

Catchy Bronze Age tune...

Defintely centered on Muhammed Ali, but compares him to Superman in the main chorus.
