The Lyrics

Superman is an entire Swiss Army Knife of weapons... But to have all of his powers wiped out just by having a chunk of rock thrown at him... That's a little pathetic!
[Lex Luther]

He’s just a country boy
Born in Outer Space
Now he likes to fight crime
For the USA
And while he has millions cheering
One thing makes him ache…

[Superman]

Kryptonite
It leaves my powers draining
Once lift trains now I’m straining
To open jars back home

Damn Kryptonite
I once chilled a volcanic
Eruption with my freeze breath
Now I’m winded on jogs

I could leap high buildings
With a single bound
And now the sight of the bright green rock
Knocks me onto the ground

F*ck Kryptonite
Just one pebble, Can’t stand it!
I could save the whole planet
Till that stone is stepped on
Kryptonite you freakin’ stink!!!

Oo
Noooooo!!!

Don’t like that damn slab
It makes me all kinds of useless
Lex Luther’s ruthless
Get him off me! Get him off me!
Feeling so bruised

When that thing’s in view I lose my super speed
Gramps with walkers will stride right past me

Screw Kryptonite
I need to go eat my Wheaties
When I shove I’m a weakling
It makes me moan and groan

Rough
Can’t stop crime sprees
“Kraptonite”

Kryptonite, Kryptonite

SUPER parody Matt. Very fun hearing Superman b**** out Kryptonite. Well done

Nice to see all the comic activity lately. Great song-555! But unfortunately, I cannot join you guys. I am a rogue independent and have done comic heros and villains that are obscure to fit in with other songs rather than the Beatles off that album. I've already covered: Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Iron Man, Batman, Superman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Cheetah, Pantha, Isis, Shazam, Harley Quinn, Nelvana of the Northern Lights, Heroes of the North, The Avengers as a group, Calypso, and many more... plus Bond, Emma Peel, and other secret agents too!!!

Not a problem Rob. Any parodies about Superhero are fine with me because I'm a huge comic book geek. Thanks 2nz! This was a blast to write!

Great Supes parody! I can picture him doing the old soft shoe while singing it.

That was pretty damned funny...bonus points for the adlib in the middle as well.

Usually I'm not big on superhero parodies (cause they usually go over my head), but this was really well done and had a lot of funny lines in here. Good job!

Sir Matt, very timely write form 2012, CUATION: don't heat that Kryptonite in your PressureCooker, Sir!

(ABC) To me, the main issue is not that he's weak to a glowing rock (and magic), but that it's so damn plentiful (especially in the Silver Age)! Cute little parody of a cute little song, 555!

(ABC) With "Man of Steel" coming out this summer, this made em really hyped up! I thought this was pretty funny, and the OS is definitely a site favorite. Good work.

Not a fave OS, however lovely work with the parody. Only hiccup was the couplet "volcanic/freezing breath", which doesnt really rhyme, but still great work, and it doesnt require intimate knowledge of the movies/show/comic books to get. If I vote 555, will you still call me Superman? ;)
