DC Comics decided to (temporarily) kill off Superman in the company’s infamous 1992 crossover storyline. A year prior, however, Canadian alt-rockers the Crash Test Dummies recorded a funeral song for Earth’s champion with “Superman’s Song”, the band’s first single, featured on their debut album The Ghosts That Haunt Me. Singer-songwriter Brad Roberts pays tribute in mournful lyrics that contrasts the Last Son of Krypton with the Lord of the Jungle, Tarzan, while marveling that Superman, who could do anything with his powers, instead “never made any money for saving the world from Solomon Grundy.”
