Next one:
Give your ID card to the border guard
Yeah, your alias says you're
"Captain Jean-Luc Picard,
United Federation of Planets,"
'Cause he don't speak English anyway.

Too hard? Ok, that one was "Banditos" by mid-90s rock band The Refreshments.
Next one should be easier:
I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

It's Five for Fighting's Superman. Hadn't heard that in a while. Here's another one:
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.

He's the one who got lucky,
Got his cape around Miss Lois Lane
I can't believe my dilemma is real
I'm competing with the man of steel |

Carpet Crawlers is a great track and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in its entirety is a masterpiece, a classic (in the best sense of the term) 70s "concept album".

I'm competing with the man of steelAlright, since I saw these guys in concert on the Alternative nation tour in '92 (with Soul Asylum and the Screaming Trees) I'll answer this one... It's the Spin Doctors and Jimmy Olsen BLues interesting how so many of these are Superman references. So let's try a different hero reference.... Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish,
Although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi
Cause it's never touched a frying pan-M |

That one is of course the patter novelty song "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies. Next song:
Everyone's a superhero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk

Next up...
If you try to knock me, you'll get mocked
I'll stir fry you in my wok
Your knees'll start shaking and your fingers pop
Like a pinch on the neck from Mr. Spock

Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Es gab ein großes Feuerwerk Which translates literally as: Ninety-nine jet fighters
Each was a great warrior
Regarded themselves as Captain Kirk
There was a great display of fireworksSo, no "superhero" mentioned in the German edition. |
