Superman's Song - Crash Test Dummies

[jontuohy]

Due South!

[kmangold67]

Also, nice mullet.

[Walliard]

I wish people would look at the dates on YouTube comments.

[MrWhiteknight95]

Joe mcelderys "superman" is a lot better

[Babygiiirllxox]

These guys were from my hometown Winnipeg, no big deal!! XD

[19pink19]

@Babygiiirllxox Canadian baby<3

[YourFaceWillDie468]

I'm so glad I listened to the radio on the way to school today instead of listening to my iPod, as always!

"And sometimes I just hope the world will never see another man like him."

An inspirational lyric. Someday I'll write a song that goes, "And sometimes I just hope the world will never see another man like me."

[YourFaceWillDie468]

@YourFaceWillDie468 Wait a second---it was, "And sometimes I DESPAIR the world will never see another man like him." Talk about a mondegreen that missed the point completely. XD

[stevenchudobiak]

Winnipeg! YAY! Born and raised. Went to school with em. nuff said. ttyl.

[HOPEN9]

I Tarzaan.. Youuu Jaaane!!<3

[JohnnyExcitement]

The lone ranger wasn't a stranger, he didn't no ladies, but that Peter Parker, he was much Darker, you would never see him Dressed like a pimp. Fat as a Blimp, oh no.

Spider man... Spiiiiider Man. Does whatever a Spider can, But he was a man, oh no.

Spider man took so much garbage, when he beat up Venom and Carnage, and It's a shame, there's no one the same, oh no...

[JohnnyExcitement]

This song is without a doubt the stupidest song I've ever heard, like seriously, how high was the dude who wrote this?

[RavenSilvermist]

Damn. First song that ever made me cry.

[jordanjansenlover10]

dont make fun of da song its da bomb i listen to it every single day!!!!

[Sydpart2]

thumbs up if Geekvolution got this song stuck in your head and you had to go find it!

[haydnerd]

They could of used REAL superheroes. Its not too much for a flash, gl, wonder woman, or even a batman costume

[degree7]

Such a wonderful melody!

But the song is about.... Superman and kryptonite? Not even a metaphor, but Superman and tarzan. Pssshh...This band was a bit cheesy.

[IamAsexyOval]

@degree7 Its about Superman Spends his Life and hardships saving the world, Personally i think tarzan is in their to make Superman look better ;]

[notlitotes1]

@degree7 So in the early 90s there was a big hooplah about the death of Superman--and comics with antiheroes were really popular. So I think this song is a bit of an elegy to that ideal of heroes--of a man who stays engaged with humanity and trying to make society work.

[JazzBlaster69]

@degree7 Are Superman and Tarzan not metaphors in and of themselves?

[patriec0]

Why is it so incredibly rare to hear a band of songwriters who are also musicians?

I'll bet that 99.9% of bands today couldn't write and perform one song like CTD's can, nevermind an entire album's worth.

[rikierikje]

i like this song, everytime i listen this. I become calm. I think its the bass in his voice..

Thx for making this

[rikierikje]

BEESTACHTIG KONING MAAT!!!!

[d3000ni]

Heard this on Due South a few weeks ago, quality.

[Champ675]

What a classic song!!!!

Thank-You from the bottem of my heart!!!!!

[123idabb]

godd, i love his voice! its so...beautiful :) and i love this song <3

[whoshisface88]

I heard this song on the radio a while back & I didn't know what it was called thanx for posting man.

[cloudxixpuff]

Man such a great band that hardly anybodies ever heard of...I remember hearin these songs when I was 6yrs old with my dad, and I still remember them 12yrs later.

[CCRoxtar]

This is the original 1991 studio recording, no? I have on CD a 1994 live version, which is the only one I've heard until now.

[Deathmaster8000]

sound quality is quiet

[pandorasbox0313]

this has always been one of my favorite songs. Always makes me smile, and sing alonng

[Polinka198]

@Ich777Ich Me too!!! I just heard it in Due South :)

@pseudodraconian I love Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down!

[Ich777Ich]

Wow, this is a great song. I just heard it on the Pilot of the show Due South.

[malvonius]

well miss due south

[xgottaluvitxx]

I sing this to my little sister every night..I dont live wiht her, she lies in Texas with my dad, but I call her and sing over the phone..she loves it...as do I

[MArijawizard]

@xgottaluvitxx Awesome that you are close with you're sister. Family is most important. Keep it up.

[darjdayton]

I have been trying to find a Superman but I can't it is like a rock one does anyone know what it is called

[ballstheboss]

that's sad, cause there is so many better songs other than those stupid rap songs

[pseudodraconian]

What about Superman's Dead or Kryptonite

[darjdayton]

@pseudodraconian THATS IT! Thanks!

[XxXDarkPainXxX]

Superman Kryptonite-by 3 Doors Down?

[XxXDarkPainXxX]

@darjdayton

[kieron898]

everybody smile!!!!!!!

[greatboniwanker]

OK....um, if you're thinking the world will never see another man like Mitt Romney....BOY, do you NOT get this song! This song refers to those extraordinary human heros that come along once in a lifetime, or maybe once in a millenium - like Yeshua ben Yosef maybe, or Mahatma Mohandas Ghandi. Like the Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Seriously, want more Mitt? Spend more time in No. Az and So. Co....no, seriously!

[kieron898]

or jesus.... he was the best

[PyroSPtG]

i have been listening to this song since i was like four and i still love it. . .the lyrics are so deep and meaningful. . .it moves me. . .

[skankachu]

man its fucked up when i hear or in this case read what you typed. time certainly flys. great tune.....

[steelreign87]

exactly the same with me

[FutureSenator2020]

I would say this fits Mitt Romney, but he has made money....millions....but maybe that's why this would fit him, even though he has made millions he still holds to his values, unlike the current and past financial policy makers.

Good luck in 2012 Romney!

[UberNuber420]

@FutureSenator2020 Your obvs a greedy and close minded person.

It's truly the only acceptable excuse for saying somthing so ridiculously dim.

Plz Don't reproduce.

[holedragon21]

They thought he was dead then he came back in the last movie!

Funny how movie people change their minds

[cyberwanderer]

RIP  Superman.

[ryanbradyjohnblack19]

this song would be good at Christopher Reeve's funeral because he was the true Superman in everybody's eyes and Dana Reeve was his Lois Lane and his Wonder Woman!!

[claudekc01]

Brad's lyrics are deep (not unlike his voice!), Ellen Reid does amazing harmonies (also sings lead in Peter Punkinhead)and she's super beautiful! Also, they're Canadian (not unlike myself!). So ya, it's all good!

[Aly07cat]

is this like his funerel plz respond im so curious

[GMusic11]

lol are you serious? maybe thats why they are all sad

[cyberwanderer]

Aly07cat - Funeral, yes.

[rfish54]

don't we all need a Superman now? this song is a great realisation, that Superman never made any money....but tried his best to save the world from its problems. Can't we do stuff to save our world without making money too? Think about it, and cheers from Ron

[zdm56]

im not that old or that smart but i do know now thanks to this song, that some of the most important jobs in the world dont pay "superman never made any money saving the world from solom and grandi

[k775blondie]

I thought it was Solomon Grundy?

[melaniegartshore]

It is..

[duesouthfreak]

It is and I'm pretty sure (considering how big of a Batman fan I am) that Soloman Grundy (who was born on a Sunday) is a Batman villian. Not to mention i just read a comic with Bats fighting Solomon...

[ineed1shotoflove]

great song

[Henysheadonwall]

Wow...this song brings me back...

[tomslatincom]

This song always makes me cry.

[dragon8bee]

i love his voice

[kmangold67]

Thx for posting this. I have a Supe in my life and enjoyed focusing on him for a few mins today...Bless his heart. WonderWoman

[shaylabench]

What should it matter who posted first because none of them wrote this song. your talking about owning someone elses property.

[aglackin]

handy if the other user leaves though

[Walliard]

Dude, you didn't make the video; he has as much right to be posting it as you do.

[lynnctd]

I know I didn't. KeironsMusic used a flv converter to take my video and post it as his own. I decoded this very file (video seen above) from my VHS Symptomology of a Rockband: the Case of the Crash Test Dummies.

If he did it himself that would be another story.

[dmansutton44]

@Walliard shut the fuck up

[PierzStyx]

Get over it. He/She isn't taking other people's personally made movies. Just ones that they originally took from someone else in the first place.
