Superman has long been a source for popularmusic, inspiring songs by artists from several generations to celebrate the "Man of Steel" or to delve into his character.
"Superman (It's Not Easy)" is also a popular2000 single by the band Five for Fighting and is clearly sung from the point of view of Superman, although his name is never mentioned.
Superman by the band Bush mentions Superman in the title and in the lyrics.
Superman, nicknamed "The Man of Steel," is a fictional character and superhero who first appeared in Action Comics #1 in June of 1938 and eventually became one of the most popular and well-known comic book icons of all time.
Superman possesses extraordinary powers which render him, as stated in the lead-in to the 1950s television series, "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound".
Superman's daily martyrdom is reflected tellingly in print during his reappearance in the 1996 miniseries Kingdom Come, where he is pictured as a bearded carpenter with a long beam of wood across his back, mirroring a Christ-like image of a man who gave himself for a world that, in that storyline, did not love him.
Superman was born on the planet Krypton and was sent to Earth by his father moments before his planet exploded.
Superman possesses a number of extraordinary powers, rendering him – in terms contemporary to the 1950s – "faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound".
Superman may seem old-fashioned, quaint, and "whitebread" when compared to the various obsessed "dark avengers" who command the lion's share of the comic book market; but his appeal has lived on, and he continues to be a driving force in the comic book medium after more than sixty years.

In the pre-Crisis version of Superman's origin (the Silver Age version of which became firmly established in the comics of the early 1960s, and was subsequently adapted in various media spinoffs), Superman was born on Krypton as Kal-El, the son of Jor-El, a scientist and leader.

Superman would eat and drink as a normal human, but upon reaching his cells, it would be converted directly into energy or into a higher energy form thanks to the yellow solar radiation interacting with certain organelles in his cells.

Amazon.com: Music: Streisand Superman(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Good music, musical risk-taking, classic Streisand..for me this is her best.
The pop success of Streisand was now in full gear, and the songs on Superman were further proof that Barbra, a singer who barely scratched the pop singles chart a decade earlier, was now encroaching into new territory, and radio was finally embracing her.
Streisand was known for her chutzpah, and her pose on the album cover wearing a skimpy pair of white short-shorts with a tight white t-shirt emblazoned with the Superman logo seemed absolutely fitting.

However, in 2001, Bryan Singer, the director of the X-Men movies and the upcoming Superman Returns, was set to bring back Battlestar Galactica, updating it for the modern age while still including a number of the original cast members.
