Title: 2 May 2008: The Comic Book Set
Post by: RGMike on May 02, 2008, 08:20:29 AM
in honor of Iron Man, presumably. Well, there's lots of "Superman" songs: REM, CTDs, Kinks, Spin Doctors... One Foghead suggested "Sugar Sugar", har har.

That would be quite appropriate, though you can't imagine how delighted I'd be if Dave went with lesser-known Archies, like "Jingle Jangle" or "Shang-a-Lang."

Other options: Prince, "Batdance" (fatchance); A-ha, "Take on Me"; Sabbath, "Iron Man"

A-ha, "Take on Me"

I know the video used comic-panel images, but unless there's an actual comic book being referenced... that's not what Dave's going for.

Indeed, they seemed to be struggling to get 10 songs... not a well-thought-out idea IMHO. Esp considering a James Brown Birthday Soul Patrol woulda been much easier to populate (and more entertaining).

Dave said there was no connection between Sabbath's "Iron Man" and the comic character, but in fact the movie trailer did use this, so there is some connection now.

Big BOS from me anyway, this isn't just a bustout for "Iron Man", it's a bustout for Black Sabbath entirely!

there's yer Sabbath, and Dave already said he's playing something from Prince, which I presume to be "Batdance", so you'll be 2 out of 3 anyway.

And 3 Doors Down, too.

"and now another episode of 'Flash' Mercury, Butt Explorer!"

BOSs to Sabbath and Kinks.  If Dave plays "Magneto & Titanium" I will fall down prostrate in worship, but "Batdance" will be the bustout of the decade, considering it's one of the biggest hits of 1989 and has never graced that dreaded year.

Sheena, Queen of the... Punk Rockers?

I'd've preferred the Ramones cover of the Spiderman theme.  OMGWTFLOL!  XTC, "That's Really Super, Supergirl"!!! another bustout!

from the brilliant Skylarking, which you really need to own. As to Sheena, someone called this morning to say that Joey always claimed it was inspired by Sheena of the Jungle.

Gotta give Spin Doctors a VHM, this is the song that made me buy the album, before "Two Princes" became the big hit.

Plus it's an Alison.

Agreed.  Actually, I think I bought the album for "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong".

No problem, bub. This set was a nice B-Day surprise. Set of the Week, and maybe the Month (tho' it's only the 2nd).  See ya Monday for (presumably) the Cinco de Mayo Set.

05/02/2008 - FRIDAY!!! International Comic Book Day!!
 
1.  Black Sabbath - Iron Man   
2.  Kinks - Wish I Could Fly Like Spiderman (BEST OF SET!!)   
3.  Queen - Flash   
4.  Donovan - Sunshine Superman   
5.  Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker   
6.  XTC - That's Really Super, Supergirl!   
7.  Archies - Sugar Sugar   
8.  Prince - Batdance   
9.  REM - Superman   
10.  Spin Doctors - Jimmy Olson's Blues   
 
BONUS TRACK:  Kinks - Catch Me Now I'm Falling

I'm kinda torn--it's messed up that one of the songs in the set and the bonus track are not only by the same band but on the same album. However, it's the Kinks, so it could be worse.

ETA: What is worse is that they called the first kinks tune Wish I Could Fly Like *Spiderman*--WTF?!?!?

That is freakin' hilarious!  "Wish I Could Shoot Splooj Outta My Hands Like Spiderman" just doesn't scan as well.   But that Black Sabbath disco mix, "Wish I Could Fly Like Iron Man", is killer.
