I want to make a playlist of all superhero themed songs or songs that mention superheroes. Would anyone like to have a go at creating one for me? I want some decent songs not crap. I’m interested to see what people come up with. I typically prefer upbeat songs. Remixes, TV show themes, fan made tunes, old Jem and the Holograms songs, basically anything welcome as long as I can find them somewhere and it’s decent listening smile I want to put it on my ipod for the flight to SDCC in July.

Well, you got…

Christina Aguilera’s - “Keeps Gettin’ Better” with a Supergirl mention.  I also like to include Genie 2.0 as part of it ‘cause of the 2008 MTV performance   wink

MTV Performance

Santogold’s - “My Superman”  (with whom Christina is also rumored to be collaborating with)

My Superman

Shakespear’s Sister - “Catwoman”

Catwoman

Hmmm…  I’ll add more as I think of them.

Thanks! Those are great and I have never heard them! I’m also throwing in Garrison Starr’s “Superhero” but I haven’t found a copy of it online just yet. I hope more people can throw some stuff in, I know we have many musically inclined/talented people on the site.
Edit: Just found it on youtube but prefer the cd version over her live version

Actually, the soundtrack to the first Mortal Kombat video game is by the Immortals.  It’s the same guys as Lords of Acid, but if you search for it under that name, you won’t find it.
