There's a new Superman film out this weekend... and although I haven't seen it yet, I can confidently predict it will be better than the last few, because Zack Snyder isn't involved. Maybe not quite up to Christopher Reeve's standards, but miracles don't happen that often.
Anyway, here are some Super Songs to celebrate...
15. UN diary reveals they're all a bunch of squares.
"UN diary" was an anagram.
Ian Dury and The Blockheads - Sueperman's Big Sister
14. Kafka in Rio.
Franz Kafka meets Rio Ferdinand.
13. Bond villain found by Ash.
Ash did a song called Goldfinger, after Auric...
12. Blue eyes gets a shiner.
Frank Sinatra was old blue eyes... a shiner turns them black.
11. Protective, instrumental, elementary.
A Johnny is protective, a guitar is an instrument, Watson was... my dear.
Johnny Guitar Watson - Superman Lover
10. Taking an E helped John Wayne and Prince Edward get really, really high.
XTC, under their alias...

Sadly, I couldn't find any songs about Lex Luthor. So Braniac will have to do.
Although I would also have allowed...
XTC - That's Really Super, Supergirl

They were both...
Spin Doctors - Jimmy Olsen's Blues
5. Hair straighteners required.
