I wanted to try and find songs that have either a comic book or superheo theme (i.e. Not Superhero Theme Songs, But Songs About Superheroes).
I will start the thread off with one of my all-time favorite songs...

Roadrunner United (Ft. Michale Graves) - I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)
p.s. There are no official rules.. I was just trying to get people to go more obscure like you did vs. posting the Batman and Spider-man theme songs over and over!
Prince doesn't allow his music on youtube so...
No good versions available, but if you like mid-1980s Chicago hardcore, then you'll probably like it.
Hot Girl In the Comic Shop
Aquaman
The Ballad of Floor Buffer Smurf (NSFW)
Music available http://www.3pod.com.au/buy.htm
and a few of their CDs are also available through iTunes.
Note: Hot Girl In the Comic Shop is on their Middleborough Road album.
Let's keep it going!
Seriously though, according to wikipedia (which is easier to cut and paste than typing it all out)
The title of the song was conceived by Ozzy Osbourne.[1] Geezer Butler took to writing the lyrics around the title. The song was originally entitled "Iron Bloke". Upon hearing the main guitar riff for the first time, Osbourne remarked that it sounded "like a big iron bloke walking about".[2] The title was later changed to "Iron Man".
Despite the song's title, it bears no connection to the Marvel superhero character Iron Man (though it has become associated with the character due to this misconception, and was used in the 2008 film Iron Man based on the Marvel character). Butler wrote the lyrics as the story of a man who time travels into the future, and sees the apocalypse. In the process of returning to the present, he is turned into steel by a magnetic field. He is rendered mute, unable verbally to warn people of his time of the impending destruction. His attempts to communicate are ignored and mocked. This causes Iron Man to become angry, and have his revenge on mankind, causing the destruction seen in his vision.[3]
Feel free to post it though since it is a cool song, and I posted one that was a much further stretch, but I just wanted to clarify that point.
