(Approximate) lyrics:
would you rather have flight or invisibility?
Would you rather be a brave blind man with the ability to see
would you like to be able to rapidly change size
or would you rather be able to squirt blood out of your eyes

that would be the worst superpower ever
the worst superpower ever
that would be the worst superpower ever

would you rather stop time, or never need to breathe
would you rather have your one weakness to be a really well-known thing
what if you were lactose intolerant but could make things taste like cheese?
or if you had the power to induce a slight fatigue.

that would be the worst superpower ever
the worst superpower ever
that would be the worst superpower ever

would you rather have an extra hand or run real fast and far
or would you like to be really rich and drive an awesome car
would you rather be able to create an invisible chair?
or the ability to always predict what someone else will wear

that would be the worst superpower ever
the worst superpower ever
that would be the worst superpower ever

Your nonchalance is oppressive and heartwarming.

I just heard your band for the first time ever today. This is now one of my favorite songs.

First heard this song on The Walking Eye podcast. I listen to podcasts at double speed (hour long podcasts, half hour drive to work :shrug:), so the first time I heard this song it was at double speed, and (personal taste here) it sounds better at that speed. Still, awesome song :-)

Worst superpower? How about Arm Pop-off boy? He's an actual member of the Averngers, whose power is that he can remove his arm and beat his enemy with it. Yeah, that's it.

I'm hooked ... The Doubleclicks ROCK

[bengilmer]

The ability to predict what someone else would wear sounds great.

Imagine the red carpet shenanigans you could create.

A long running inside joke amongst my friends was inspired by the Xmen 2099 action figure of Junkpile. His 'action' was, you press a button, and he fell into misc pieces...that's it. Worst superpower EVER! So from that point on, whenever someone displayed a lame ability, the phrase was "...You're off the team."
