Bonus track: Johnny Wakeland & the Kinshasa Band - Laugh Superman (a tribute to Muhammad Ali)

I'm thinking the bonus is in fact "Black Superman".

BOS to the Spin Doctors
Somewhat surprising that "Kryptonite" never made 10@10, in fact I don't think 3DD ever did. Never understood the hate for them.

That would certainly make more sense. In the backsell (where he intro'd the Johnny Wakeland tune), it sounded to me like "laugh" but I wondered what the hell that meant.

This is the most interesting set we've gotten so far. And kudos for avoiding Crash Test Dummies. :)

Also, he definitely said "black", not "laugh" in his intro to the Wakelin song.
