GeorgeStGeorge Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 In that case, my clue is two words: ...Green Lantern... This is the only song I know that has my favorite hero in it (well, except for the theme song to the "Superman-Aquaman Hour of Adventure" cartoon show). I'll post more if no one gets it, but I bet it goes pretty fast. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordWolf Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The only song I know of that names "Green Lantern" is "Sunshine Superman" by Donovan. ("Superman and Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me!" is the line.) That's the one you were thinking of, right? :)--> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

is
"Sunshine Superman"
by Donovan.
("Superman and Green Lantern ain't got nothin' on me!" is the line.)

"Kodachrome" by Paul Simon.
They would bleep out the word "crap" on a couple radio stations in Chicago when the song first came out.
Don't know why I love you; don't know why I care.

No. It's possible der Bingle might have done a version of this song, but it's not the one I'm thinking of.
Let's add the bass line:
Din din din da din din da didididin,
dididin dididin dininininininina
Don't
know
why
I
love you like I do (didin din da)
Don't
know
why
I
do (dadin)
Don't know why I love you; don't know why I care.
