Superman Theme Song

http://www.goldentusk.net for the Full OFFICIAL Original Lyrics http://www.facebook.com/goldentusk for Behind the Scenes http://www.twitter.com/goldentusk for Updates A Superman Theme Song Parody, sung to the tune of the One and Only Superman Theme Song, quite possibly the greatest theme song ever composed.

Superman was my first theme song, in a long line of Theme Song Parody Homages. Superman, the Man of Steel, is one of the greatest icons in history. He is an ideal, a man of steel. I loved the movies as a kid, and thought the comics were amazing. I still remember how crushed I was when this invincible man of steel died in the books, how elated I was at the whole Four Superman Rebirth storyline; I really liked Superman. Christopher Reeves was just the total embodiment of that character and I still can really only think of him as the Man of Steel himself. Superman, Kal-El, Son of Jor-El, is sent as a baby from the collapsing Planet Krypton to Earth. He crash lands in Smallville where Ma and Pa Kent find him and raise him as their own child, Clark Kent. He matures and becomes very aware of his super-abilities: Super strength, super speed, heat vision, icy cold breath, and near invincibility unless he goes near Kryptonite. The Man of Steel decides to protect Earth, his new home to use his powers for Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Lex Luthor is a diabolical madman bent on ruling the world and, subsequently, the ultimate destruction of Superman or anything else that would dare to stand in his way. In the Richard Donner movies that I cherish the most, Christopher Reeves played Superman, Gene Hackman played Lex Luthor, Margot Kidder played Lois Lane, and Marlon Brando played Superman's father, Jor-El. The score is written by the greatest composer ever, John Williams, for which he was nominated for an Oscar in 1979, and lost, unfairly. As far as the actual theme song video, the story goes... I was acting in a friend's film called NAILS, still to be finished, and we were on a break. As I watched them set up the next shot, I started singing along to the instrumental part of whatever song happened to be blaring through the speakers of the studio we were at. My friend who was next to me said, "I HATE when people do that. Sing to the instrumental parts of songs. I hate that." My girlfriend was out of town and I drove home and decided to mess around to Superman's theme because it's my favorite piece of music that has no words, just as a kind-of joke to my buddy. I wrote the words in a day, went to Hollywood Wig and Toy to buy the costume, and that night hung my grandmother's hand-me-down green blanket from the ceiling and filmed me lip-synching to the song I had recorded a few hours beforehand. I had no lights except my kitchen lights and it was in the middle of the summer in an apartment that had no air conditioning. I was in a costume that was tremendously hot and then put a dress shirt on top. It was warm. Plus, I put five pounds of gel (an exaggeration) on top of my head to get the curls to stay down. (It didn't quite go exactly as I had planned.) I scoured the internet for some royalty-free photos, edited the video that night after having performed an hour's worth of takes, and then showed my family at dinner. They thought it was interesting. I asked my buddy if he thought it was really lame and whether or not I should post it to YouTube, and he wondered why I wouldn't. So I did. I fully expected to be ostracized from everyone, but people liked it. For the most part. I had uploaded it just in time for the release of the highly anticipated and widely panned Superman Returns Reboot starring Brandon Routh and Kevin Spacey. It was my first YouTube video and I'd get a couple views each day, maybe a comment or two. Then, it was featured on a Superman blog and in two or three days jumped 25,000 views (which seemed HUGE at the time). It has been climbing steadily since. The Superman Theme Song video is my most iconic video and has the most views. It was done the quickest and is definitely the simplest result. It had the honor of being screened as part of a Superhero exhibit in a museum in Paris, back in 2007. And, if you look at the video responses, you'll see two examples of very young kids dressing up as Superman and singing the lyrics. It's gotta be up there with the cutest thing ever. If you're still reading this, you must really be a fan. But thank you for watching the video, and if you get a chance, subscribe to the channel and look me up on Facebook/goldentusk.

Or visit me on Twitter! Lyrics: No longer am I Just a Man I'll only go by Superman! You look at me as Just a Guy But I hide Deep inside I can fly And I'm super strong And I know the difference between right and wrong See through everything unless its made of lead Kryptonite is the only thing that I dread I could go on all day if you want me to -I am the man! But you'd rather I thought about saving you Which I seem to do just about every day For truth, justice, and the American way And I never get... Superman Is just how it sounds I'm a Super Man Just making my rounds And I will save you Cause that's what the brave do I'm known as the Man of Steel With a Heart of Gold Superman Is just how it sounds My secret identity must never be found I just need an abandoned street A phone booth, real discreet Where I can turn into the man People want me to be And I know that you can see my underwear And you can joke about it all you want. I really don't care And I know that everyone, if given the chance Would quickly ask if I enhance What bulges out of my pants And I know that wearing tights is kind of gay But the ladies seem to like it better that way And I know that everyone is jealous of me I'm not even human I'm an alien, from deep space Put on a bright costume and Fly around all over the place Now business is boomin' And its because I've taken the case And I'm invincible I'm unstoppable I'm unbeatable Or at least that's how it always seems Ask Lex Luthor Look up in the sky That's your plan You can all rely on SUPERMAN! Why worry to death While I'm there When in doubt You just shout Help us out And I always come And I never get... I want to relax So I can come to my work renewed Let me be at peace In my fortress of solitude And my love for Miss Lois Lane Is a love that I can't contain And it's hard to not leave a trace But you'd think with every embrace That one day she'd pick out my face In case of emergency With some urgency I'll wipe her memory With a kiss from me And we'll never be free To be happy with stable security Unless I give up my valiant charity And live life as a part of humanity And I'd never get... I am Superman It's just how it sounds And I can leap tall buildings with single bounds And as earth's savior I've good behavior But every now and again I just need to let loose That's all there is to know About me being the best superhero And I thought I should tell you all this firsthand So that you could now easily understand What it means to have children look up to you And fight for the good ole red, white, and blue And always think hard about what it means To have greatness come down from family genes Earth's a better place Since I began No way to replace Superman! If I weren't here Earth would fall I conclude All of you'd Be so screwed But I'll continue to do the Best I can Only because I'm Superman! As long as I'm here I will try to respect to protect to perfect our lives till the end arrives I can always strive To help more survive I'm more than Just a man I am superman I am superman I am superman I am superman And I won't be done Till the war is won And helped everyone All it takes is one man to stand up Just speak your mind And we'll find we're behind the whole race of mankind NOW!
