[GoldenAgeHero]

three doors down-kryptonite

 

[Karem-Knight]

Superman
It's not easy/Superman- Five for fighting

Batman:
The Unfogiven-Mettilca


The Joker
Paint it Black- Rolling Stones

Two-Face
Down with the sickness- Disturbed

 

[Motown Marvel]

^^errr, paint it black was not about the joker.

either way, epic battles by the muldoons is a great punk song about both DC and Marvel action figures battling under a bed.

 

[Kenda Man]

Crash Test Dummies- Superman's Song

It talks about how Superman never made any money for saving the world from Solomon Grundy.

Carmine Infantino (one of the dudes that invented Barry allen) is the uncle of the guy who sings the song..
its the most depressing view of a speedster i have ever herd.. after hearing that song.. you no longer want that superpower..

 

[BrianWilly]

The Scrubs theme song!

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Superman
It's not easy/Superman- Five for fighting

That song is unforgivably bad.

The Ballad of Barry Allen

I've got time to think about the meaning of the thousand variations of the beating of a wing of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of the world moving slower than molasses as I'm off to catch the girl who is falling off the cliff

and I'm there before she knows it
I'll be gone before she sees me
with my hand around her waist
I pull her back to safety
by the time she knows what's happened
there'll be someone else who needs me
because time keeps dragging on
and on
and on
and on

(time keeps dragging on)

I've got time to think about my past as I dodge between the bullets how my life was so exciting before I got this way and how long ago it was now I never can explain by the clock that's on the tower or the one that's in my brain

and I'm there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
and I'd like to get to know you
but you're talking much too slowly
and I know you'd really like me
but I never stick around
because time keeps dragging on
and on
and on
and on
and on

And you say the world goes rushing by
but it seems so slow to me
and you see a blur around you fly
but it takes too long
it seems so slow to me

(time keeps dragging on)

How I wish I'd never gone into my lab to experiment that night before lightning flashed around me
and time changed speed
now I have to try to be so patient and wait for calamity to strike
because when things change in an instant
it's almost fast enough for me

and I'll be there before you know it
I'll be gone before you see me
and do you think you can imagine
anything so lonely
and I know you'd really like me
but I never stick around
because time keeps dragging on
and on
and on
and on
and on

And you say the world goes rushing by
but it seems so slow to me
complain I'm gone before you blink

There is actually a song about Vicki Vale, by Tiga. I think it's called Who's That or something. Random character to sing about, I know.

 

[JTStarkiller]

Song by the band Infusion called "Legacy" has a few lines in it...

"We're superheroes in our dreams"
"Aquaman knows what to do"

That's about as much as I can contribute.

 

[Fledermaus]

The Batman 1989 soundtrack. All Prince, all the time. Method Man did a song on the Batman Forever soundtrack called "The Riddler".

 

[shapeshifter]

Superman's Dead by Our Lady Peace.

beat me to it.

 

[TheDemon'sHead]

There's this site: http://www.comicbookradioshow.com/trapped/songlist.html

Also "Stop Talking About Comic Books (Or I'll Kill You)" by Ookla the Mok is really really good.
