Music of the Spheres
February 2, 2009 | Posted by Chris Sims As the second part of Pally Dr. K’s series of reviews on Final Crisis, he addresses an important question brought up in the series:
Well, we here at the ISB have a few ideas…
What do you think, dear reader?

“You put your right foot in,
You put your right foot out,
You put your right foot in,
And shake it all about,
You do the hokey-pokey,

Because that IS what it’s all about.
I love you.
“Just a small-town girl, living in a lonely world… she took a midnight train goin’ an-y-where….”
Darkseid should’ve put a ring on it.
I would like to point all the single ladies to my original post, also linked to above:

I’m a cowboy.
On a steeeeel horse I ride.
I’m wanted (wanted)
Dead or alive.
I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don’t mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don’t mean I’m in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it
Moral? Katy Perry will kill us all.
Let’s both get undressed right here, keep it up girl, and, I swear.
I’m gonna give it to you non-stop.
And I don’t care, who’s watching.
I wanna make love in this club.
In this club
In this club
In this club
alternatively:
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
people, Superman was obviously singing “My Humps”.
Two words:
Stair.
Way.
I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee. Bitch!
love the bonus feature. Darkseid just got Rick rolled.
You!
I wanna take you to a gay bar!
I wanna take you to a gay bar!
I wanna take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar!
“I’ve seen three billion faces under the thrall of the anti-life equation, and I’ve rocked them all.”
Don’t worry be happy
Was a number one jam
Damned, if I said it
You can slap me, right here
Let’s get this party started right
Right on
Come on
Fight the power
Fight the powers that be
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe
Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, “The King and I”, and “The Catcher in the Rye”
Eisenhower, vaccine, England’s got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it
But we tried to fight it
Shout shout
let it on out
these are the things I can do without..
Come on! I’m talkin to you!
Come on!
“I’ve got Kitty Pryde
and Nightcrawler too
waiting there for me
yes I do.”
All my funny answers have been done, so I’ll skip right to the real one. I know exactly what Superman sang. It could only be the “dun-da-NA!” from John Williams’ Superman theme. That is what goes through my head every time I read that panel.
Either “Threshold Apprehension” or “Thumbmaster” would be nice, if unlikely.
The hiiiiiilllls are aliiiiiive…
(Seriously, that was my immediate reaction upon seeing the original panel.)
It was, of course, the theme song to Scrubs. “I can’t do this all on my own, no, I know, I’m no Superman.”
He appreciates the irony.
‘Seid umschlungen, Millionen!
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Brüder, über’m Sternenzelt
Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen.
Seid umschlungen,
Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!
Freude, schöner Götterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium,
Freude, schöner Götterfunken’
-The Ode to Joy, from the glorious 9th.
That’s what I hear. That or Mötörhead.
It has to be “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
It just HAS to.
On second thought, maybe it was
‘I am, I am, I am Superman
And I know what’s happening.
I am, I am, I am Superman
And I can do anything.’
I’m thinking it has to be Depeche Mode – “Personal Jesus”
In my mind, Superman is singing the John Williams Superman theme at him. Can’t think of a song more hopeful.
Er, what doc danger said
I don’t think Supes would have had a particular song in mind. He would probably do what Henry Rollins does when he can’t remember part of a song “WHOA GIRL COME ON AND DANCE YEAH GET DOWN WITH IT YEAH” and so on.
Or he would do a righteous James Brown set.
It has to be the opening wailing from Immigrant Song, right?
Er, Supernaut?
Sorry.
Black Sabbath or 1000 Homo DJs version I suppose.
Still not a single “Freebird!”. I’m proud of you guys.
Also, Supes was totally singing The Final Countdown.
Remy Zero, “Save Me”? Anybody?
Even though my first answer was “Don’t Stop Believin’”…
I would also like to submit
“…a plane that loops the loop,
ME, I WANT A HULA HOOP!”
“She Bang”
I’m sorry… but I’m pretty sure that one would drive even Darkseid away.
Superman never made any money
Savin’ the world from Solomon Grundy
And sometimes I despair the world wil never see another man
Like meeeeeeeeeee…..
I love you always forever
Near or far, closer together
Every day I will be with you
Everything I will do for you
I really want to say “Waitin’ for a Superman,” though “Feeling Yourself Disintegrate” would probably be more appropriate.
You got the touch
You got the power
I wear tight clothing, high-heeled shoes
That doesn’t mean that I’m a prostitute, no no no
I like rap music, wear hip hop clothes
That doesn’t mean that I’m out sellin’ dope, no no no –
Free your mind, and the rest will follow
Be color-blind, don’t be so shallow
Free your mind!
“Killing me softly with his song”
Sorry.
Heeeeere I come to save the daaaaaaaaay…
pfft.
He’s obviously singing about how his milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
No, let me rephrase that:

Oh blah dee, Oh blah dah…. la, la, how the life goes on…
“Batman got on my nerves.
He was running me amok.
He ridiculed me, calling me a bum.
I whupped Batman’s ass,
I whupped Batman’s ass,
I whupped Batman’s ass,
I whupped Batman’s ass,
I whupped Batman’s ass,
I whupped Batman’s ass.”
“Fuck the pain away. Fuck the pain away. Fuck the pain away.”
Old school REM, of course.
I am
I am
I am
Superman
and I can do anything….
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
“Oh I know
I am on tonight
my hips don’t lie”
Woah! We’re halfway there!
Wo-a-oah! Livin’ on a prayer!
I make her feel right when its wrong like lyin’
But Man, she ain’t never had a love like mine
But man I ain’t never seen an a$$ like hers
That pu$$y in my mouth had me lost for words
Told her to back it up like berp berp
And make that a$$ jump like jerp jerp
Superman TOTALLY rocks the James Brown. After all, if *he* can’t say he feels good, then who can?
“…IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT,
AND IIIII FFFEEEELLLL FFFFIIIIIINNNNE”
CRAAAAAWLING IIIN MY SKIIIIIIN!!!
“‘…and if the band you’re in starts playin’ different tunes,
I’ll see you on the DARK SEID of the moon!’ Get it?!?! DARK SEID of the moon?!?! Dark…seid…get it…bwah? feh.”
You say Crisis,
and I say Krisis
“…Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for
You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for
You know it’s true…
Everything I do – I do it for you”
George S – “CRAAAAAWLING IIIN MY SKIIIIIIN!!!”
Made me laugh quite a lot, I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s just he thought of Superman letting out a horrible numetal wail, like an angry teen. Or maybe just because I find Linkin Park’s earnest, meaningless bullshit inherently hilarious?
‘the’, not ‘he’. Sorry.
ARE WE HUMAN? OR ARE WE DANCER?
What’s more life-affirming than:
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
And a round thing in your face
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
‘Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in the jeans she’s wearing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh baby, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got makes me so horny
The complete works of Prince, sung at super-speed.
I hate to say it, but It really is the chorus to that Kate Perry song (hot n cold).
(superman kissed boy and he likes it)
It was clearly ‘Wannabe’ by the Spice Girls. Using his super-ventriloquism, he can sound like all five girls at once. The space ship simply couldn’t take it when he started the interlude rap in Mel B’s brummie accent and blew up under the strain.
He’s singing the theme song to Scrubs.
What if Superman was actually answering the Killers’ question, Chris?
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
I will you won’t you want me to make you
I’m coming down fast but don’t let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain’t no dancer
Rock and Roll Train!
THIS WAS A TRIUMPH!
I’M MAKING A NOTE HERE: HUGE SUCCESS!
BASS! How low can you go…
Death row…what a brother know…
I got here too late to make the Milkshake reference, so instead:
mmmmbop, mmmmbop, mmmmbop
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOKLAHOMA where the wind comes sweepin’ down the plain
And the wavin’ wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain
“Spider-man, Spider-man

I’d like to think he goes with a bit of old school LL Cool J.
Don’t call it a comeback
I been here for years
Rockin’ my peers
Puttin’ suckers in fear
Makin’ the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom
Explosion, overpowerin’
Over the competition, I’m towerin’
Records shock
When I drop these lyrics
That’ll make you call the cops
Don’t you dare stare
You betta move
Don’t ever compare me to the rest
They’ll all get sliced and diced
Competition’s payin’ the price
I’m gonna knock you out
Mama said knock you out
Or even…
“Boom, shake shake shake the room
Boom, shake shake shake the room
Boom, shake shake shake the room
Tick tick tick tick…”
(with a big BOOM! sound effect added to that second panel)
In the town where I was born
There lived a man, who sailed the (bleed)
And he told us of his life (with the Supermen of the Multiverse)
on a yellow submarine…
It’s that tune from the “Dear Sister” SNL clip… Just picture it if that scene was animated:
Darkseid’s talking, talking, talking, Superman turns and BAM!!!
“Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm whatcha say,
Mmmm that it’s all for the best?
Of course it is
Mmmm whatcha say?
Mmmm that it’s just what we need
you decided this
whatcha say?
Mmmm what did she say?”
Hell, they could throw in the Batman/Darkseid shoot out, with it playing just as Batman shoots, then stopping for Batman’s “gotcha”, then starting again when the Omega Sanction hits fifteen minutes later, then stopping and starting again later when Superman returns.
It’s that or that “Mmmm mmm mm mmm” song.
I’m gonna go with some Ronnie James Dio.
You are the driver
You on the road
You are the fire

“Stop Making Sense” by Talking Heads

Any Will Smith song can save the world.
I believe any one of these three is a distinct possibility:
“Joooooohn Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
His name is my name tooooooooo.”
“Toot! Toot! Chugga-chugga!
Big Red Car!”
“I love you! You love me!
We’re a happy family
With a great big hug and
kiss from me to you!”
“We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind.
‘Cause your friends don’t dance,
and if they don’t dance
Well they’re no friends of mine.
Say, we can go where we want to,
A place where they will never find.
And we can act like we come from out of this world.
Leave the real one far behind.
And we can dance!
Dan-say!”
“Well I guess what they say is true
I could never spend my life

I could never be your woman.”

I wonder if Superman has super singing powers? It’s kind of like the bit on Seinfeld where they wondered if he had a super sense of humor, but a bit different because you could make the argument that his super senses could give him a super pitch and therefore lead to him being a super singer.
I don’t want to work,
I want to bang on the drum all day!
I believe he is singing:
“Anti Life and Green Lantern ain’t got nothing on me.”
105 comments and no Sunshine Superman by Donovan?
For shame.

I’m black and I’m proud
Now I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?

That, or, well. We all know that Superman’s got 99 problems but bein’ a bitch ain’t one.
“Moral? Katy Perry will kill us all.”
I can live with that. Especially because this may be the longest space between an original comment and a reply in ISB history. I love setting pointless records. But yeah; if Katy Perry’s going to bring on Armageddon, I welcome it.
I take mine back, and second the Pop Will Eat Itself.
Awww! I was too late to but up the Batman song! Superman has always been jealous.

Good morning starshine

We chased lady luck, ’til we finally struck Bonanza.
With a gun and a rope and a hat full of hope, planted a family tree. We got hold of a pot of gold, Bonanza.

Put down the chainsaw and listen to me
It’s time for us to join in the fight
It’s time to let your babies grow up to be cowboys
It’s time to let the bedbugs bight
You better put all your eggs in one basket
You better count your chickens before they hatch
You better sell some wine before it’s time
You better find yourself an itch to scratch
You better squeeze all the Charmin you can
When Mr. Whipple’s not around
Stick your head in the microwave
Give yourself a tan

Who knew Grant Morrison was such a Rock Band DCU edition enthusiast?
And Superman’s belting out…
“She says, ‘We’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got. It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not! We’ve got each other, and that’s a lot for lo-ove.’”

Where was it ever established before this that Darkseid doesn’t like music?
Good point. Darkseid always looked like a Phillip Glass kinda guy to me.
And I fuckin’ neeeeed you nooooow tonight! And I fuckin’ neeeeed you mooooore than EVER!
Bad,
It was, I believe, in the epic mini-series Virman Vunderbar versus the Von Trapps.
Let’s go crazy
Let’s get nuts
Let’s look for the purple banana
‘Til they put us in a truck
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you’ll only hold me tight
We’ll be holding on forever
And we’ll only be making it right
Cause we’ll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don’t know what to do and I’m always in the dark
We’re living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight!
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Forever’s gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I’m only falling apart
There’s nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Jumpin’ Jack Flash, it’s a gas, gas, gas!
Because if that combo could defeat music-hating aliens, it should be more than enough to dispatch Darkseid.
I’d like to change my answer. Specifically, I’d like to change it to:
“For the time bombs tickin’
And the heads to hang
All the gangs gettin’ money
And all the heads they bang-bang
Wild mustangs
The porno flicks
All my homies in the county in cellblock 6
The grits where there ain’t enough eggs to cook
And for D.B. Cooper and the money he took

But yeah, morrison’s right (and has obviously been reading the internetz) comics are better when we get to fill in the blanks ourselves. I’m sure these `what song’ threds’d make him squee with joy (if its possible for scottish men to do that) and that he’d believe that we’re actually increasing, aiding and abetting darkseid’s defeat (and he may be right).

That was without a doubt the best one I have read thus far. But still incorrect. I have been thinking this over for quite some time, and I have come to a conclusion. At first I thought it was “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice, or “Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer. But no, it couldn’t be that obvious. No, the answer is clear to me now…
“What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me.
Don’t hurt me no more.”
It was so obvious and yet nobody saw it… Under it all, Superman’s a Radiohead fan. And he just couldn’t resist explaining the plot to Darkseid one last time.
“You do it to yourself, you do
and that’s what really hurts
You do it to yourself, just you
you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself”
It’s worth mentioning that someone at Newsarama asked Morrison what song Superman’s singing, and he said, “It’s whatever your favorite song is.”
So Morrison has given his official sanction to this post. :)
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
