61. "Superman" by REM {Video: none}
A while back I made a mix tape cd featuring a bunch of songs about Superman. This became a very popular playlist around my household. The wife and the kids all enjoyed the Superman songs, and it got played over and over and over again.
That's how this song got so high on this list.
(There's something especially entertaining about having your two-year old son singing a song he sorta knows, but getting the words a little bit wrong. Buzz: "I am, I am Superman, and I can do what I want.")
I like some REM, but I don't really love them. So, it seems strange to me that REM would have as many songs on the HondoJoe Top 200 as The Cars, Weezer, Hall and Oates, The Outfield, Alan Parsons Project, Barry Manilow, Ed Ames, Robert Goulet, Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Huey Lewis and the News, Taco, Falco, Chilliwack, Neon Trees, and Frank Sinatra combined.
(Don't worry. It's not the end of the world as we know it. Because I am Superman, and I can do what I want.)
