It's about time you got around to me to save this hopelessly obscure Enterprise and esoteric Blog of yours that caters exclusively in trying to amuse the so-called Paulie Walnuts, alias Donny and Uncle Jun, alias Eliot. Superman and Green Lantern aint got a-nothin' on me... How long, Ace, before you put cousin Stanley with the Stanley Cup or should I say, Stan Lee Cup? Anyhow, for the two people who still pay attention to this stuff, give me your Top Five Rock Songs with Comic Book References in them, ie: Superman by the Kinks, Sunshine Superman by Donovan.
ARTIST: Donovan
TITLE: Sunshine Superman
Lyrics and Chords
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Coulda tripped out easy, but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it, but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
/ C7 - - - / / F - - - / C7 - - - /
{Refrain}
'Cause I've made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
/ G7 - F - / C7 - - - /
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for a-pearls in the sea
A-you can just sit there thinkin' on your velvet throne
Yes, about all the rainbows a-you can have for your own
{Refrain}
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool, I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset do you remember when
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
Hm-m-m-m-m
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
{Refrain}
Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea
A-y-y-y-you can just sit there thinkin' on your velvet throne
About all the rainbows a-you can have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
Hm-m-m-m-m
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
Blow your little mind
You mean Sunshine Superman. Wow. Very difficult. Without resorting to the AMG one song immediately comes to mind: Scenes From A Night's Dream - Genesis (about an early 20th Century Comic Strip Character named Little Nemo, comic book characters will require some thought). How about Batman - Marketts (although it's an instrumental about the TV Theme), of course there's always the Bonzo' s Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Mouse but as this has started to become a little too Joyceian on the stream-of consciousness side I think I'll stop
