Shonen Knife "ESP"

The Japanese trio Shonen Knife has made major fans out of alt-rock's elite (Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and Redd Kross, among others) and built a solid, worldwide cult following with their Ramones meets the Beatles brand of sticky sweet punk-pop. Comprised of members Michie Nakatani (vocals, bass), Naoko Yamano (vocals, guitar), and Atsuko Yamano (drums), Shonen Knife originally formed during December of 1981 in their hometown of Osaka, Japan (all three members were working at the time as office clerks), before playing their first real show in March of the following year. Soon after, the group began issuing albums in their native land.

I found out on Wikipedia that it's actually called, "Buttercup (I'm a Supergirl)" but you were close anyway. :-)

@WoodRatGirl - well, not exactly the theme song...They did do "Buttercup is a Super Girl" though (To the tune of "Blitzkrieg Bop")
