"Magneto and Titanium Man" by Paul McCartney

"Superman and Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me" by Donovan

 

That's all I've got.

 

"The comic book and us we caught the bus but poor little joker though he was back in bed" Yeah heavy and a Bottle of Bread by Dylan-- I don't think the "poor little joker" is "The Joker" though.

 

"Ain't no more Cain on the Rise" though, also by Dylan is probably Cain Marko, the Juggernaut from the X-Men.

"Superhero" by Ani DiFranco:

 

i used to be a superhero

i somehow stumbled into

and now look at me

i am just like everybody else

 

Ani lives here in Buffalo. She just rehabbed a church into space. Great gal!

Greatest comic related song of all time:

 

"I Am The Law" - Anthrax. (Judge Dredd song)

 

I concur. thumbsup2.gif

 

Yep. And, the only song that I can think of that is entirely about a comic character:

 

Fifteen years in the academy

He was like no cadet they’d ever seen

A man so hard, his veins bleed ice

And when he speaks he never says it twice

They call him judge, his last name is dredd

So break the law, and you wind up dead

Truth and justice are what he’s fighting for

Judge dredd the man, he is the law

Drokk it!

 

With gun and bike he rules the streets

And every perp he meets will taste defeat

Not even death can overcome his might

Cause dredd and anderson, they won the fight

When the sov’s started the apocalypse war

Mega-city was bombed to the floor

Dredd resisted, and the judges fought back

Crushed the sov’s with their counter-attack

Drokk it!

 

Respect the badge - he earned it with his blood

Fear the gun - your sentence may be death because...

Chorus

 

I am the law!

And you won’t f**k around no more - I am the law

I judge the rich, I judge the poor - I am the law

Commit a crime I’ll lock the door - I am the law

Because in mega-city... I am the law

 

In the cursed earth where mutants dwell

There is no law, just a living hell

Anarchy and chaos as the blood runs red

But this would change if it was up to dredd

The book of law is the Bible to him

And any crime committed is a sin

He keeps the peace with his law-giver

Judge, jury, and executioner

Drokk it!

 

Crime - the ultimate sin

Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in

Law - it’s what he stands for

Crime’s his only enemy and he’s going to war

 

Crime - the ultimate sin

Your iso-cube is waiting when he brings you in

Law - it’s what he stands for

Crime’s his only enemy and he’s going to war

Pop Will Eat Itself

Formed in the UK during the '80's, PWEI achieved an underground following, and some chart success. But it was their '89 single, "Can U Dig It?", a song referencing all the pop culture icons the band enjoyed, that told the world "Alan Moore knows the score". V for Vendetta is specifically mentioned in the second verse of the song. PWEI produced several albums before breaking up in the mid '90's. ---

 

Great video !!!!!

Good call, great song. They also did a song (their best, IMO) called Def Con One, which had the word "Watchman" in the chorus...

I will assume the first time you ever even heard of the Crash Test Dummies was in someone else's response in this thread (if you even read that poke2.gif) makepoint.gif

I'm a joker,

I'm a smoker,

I'm a midnight toker...

- from "The Joker" by Steve Miller

 

confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Better:

 

Expert textpert choking smokers,

Don’t you think the Joker laughs at you?

See how they smile like pigs in a sty,

See how they snied.

I’m crying.

- from "I Am the Walrus" by the Beatles
