Title: Superman Theme from THEME FROM STAR WARS Post by: Glammazon on June 29, 2007, 05:36:35 PM I have a record album called THEME FROM STAR WARS on which a song called "Superman Theme" was recorded. Here are the lyrics, as best I can remember them:
Faster than a bullet, Stronger than a diesel, Leaps tall buildin`s in a bound. Is it a bird? No! Is it a plane? No! Who is it? It's SUPERMAN! In the thick of danger, Helping friend or stranger, Wherever people can be found. Is it a bird? No! Is it a plane? No! What is it? SUPERMAN! The (unintelligible) of SUPERMAN!

However, it DID have the themes from THE SIX-MILLION-DOLLAR MAN and the original THE BIONIC WOMAN.

SIDE ONE: 1. Theme From STAR WARS 2. Rocket Man (only other song with lyrics beside the Superman "theme") 3. (STAR FLIGHT?) (I can't remember this title offhand) 4. Theme from THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN SIDE TWO: 1. Theme from STAR TREK 2. Theme from 2001: A SPACE ODYSSY 3. SPACE RACE (I used this title for one of my stories, that's how I remembered it) 4. Theme from the original THE BIONIC WOMAN 5. Theme from SUPERMAN (note: may actually have been composed by the people who actually sang the "theme" on the record itself) Title: Re: Superman Theme from THEME FROM STAR WARS Post by: jamespup on July 01, 2007, 08:27:40 PM I have it in storage somewhere, I'll dig it out soon and scan it. It was a 45 with only the two songs on it, (Superman song and the Batman theme)and is from around 1966 or 67
