Here's my list of hundreds of songs that mention comic book and strip characters. This list doesn't include all the versions of the Batman TV show theme from the 60s (except for The Jam and The Who versions), the soundtrack to Superman or any of the other comic-inspired Broadway plays nor the various Power records of comic book dramatizations. The lyrics though for the Broadway musical It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's a Superman! have just been located and should be up one day!

There are a lot of comic characters with names like Rainbow, Storm, Beast, Lightning, etc., and those songs are not listed unless they're specifically about the character, so don't go looking for "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "Riders on the Storm," "Beast of Burden" or "Lightning Strikes." Many mentions are not specifically about a comic character, but I include them because I don't think a generic Superman would be put into too many songs if there wasn't a specific Superman that became popular. Tarzan was listed in the first draft, but I took him out because he was originally a prose character, not a comic character. Some songs, like Black Sabbath's "Iron Man," are on the list because so many people think of the comic character and suggested the song for the list. Included are animated characters that have had a substantial run in either newspaper comics or comic books, whether or not they first appeared on film or television.

The "rockin' chimp" is of course a tribute to the proliferation of simians in the DC Universe of the 60s. He himself was probably a member of the Teen Titans at some point. Any additions or corrections would be greatly welcomed and appreciated (especially if the lyric is missing)! Just drop Chris Companik (this page's designer) an e-mail.

A great number of folks ... who know their lyrics ... quickly jumped onto the bandwagon and their personal collections, thanks to Fred Bronson's CHART BEAT column on BILLBOARD Magazine's online site. Normally a plug here wouldn't go in, but Fred made a cool reference to "Metropolis Mailbag" so he's earned his place right here.

Either scroll on down, or click on any of the letters to jump-skip to your favorite character!
