    My first answer remains in my head because no one mentioned it. "Jungle' is mentioned in the song lyrics.

    This is the first song I ever heard from Crash Test Dummies and I've been one of their fans ever since.

     l love the song.
    And the music video blew me away the first time I saw it. I still like the video a lot - still love the song. In a weird sort of way, I find the song lyrics rather profound. And that video . . .




    "Superman's Song"

    Tarzan
    Wasn't a ladies' man
    He'd just come along and scoop 'em up under his arm like that
    Quick as a cat
    In the jungle

    But Clark Kent
    Now there was a real gent
    He would not be caught sittin' around in no junglescape,
    Dumb as an ape
    Doing nothing

    Superman never made any money
    For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
    And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

    Hey Bob,
    Supe had a straight job
    Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States,
    Well he had the strength,
    But he would not

    Folks said
    His family were all dead
    Planet crumbled but Superman, he forced himself to carry on,
    Forget Krypton,
    And keep going

    Superman never made any money
    For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
    And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

    Tarzan was king of the jungle and Lord over all the apes
    But he could hardly string together four words "I Tarzan, You Jane"

    Sometimes when
    Supe was stopping crimes
    I'll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man
    Join Tarzan
    In the forest

    But he
    Stayed in the city,
    And kept on changing clothes in dirty old phone booths 'til his work was through
    And nothing to do
    But go on home

    Superman never made any money
    For saving the world from Solomon Grundy
    And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

    And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him

    I listened to it a couple more times as I've been doing "this and that."
