The song Superhero by Trocadero

[Joker]

So...anyone else think this song, about Watchmen, should be on the soundtrack, or maybe over part of the credits? Cause I do

Here's what they say about it at there website, the lyrics, and a link that has a clip...

"Words can't even begin to describe the depth and power of Alan Moore's Watchmen and neither can music, but we had to try. This tune features original Trocaderist Susan Hsia, who co-wrote it. Sadly, she left the band for inconsequential things like Harvard, work, love and marriage. "

Lyrics:
True American love,
Is like a green Coke bottle
They don't make it anymore

Part of me died back in '64...

I want to be a superhero
I've got a mask I've got a name
Your days calling me freak are numbered
Don't bother with surrender

We were so wrong
All dressed up, with somewhere to go
We wanted to do right, but

The costume fits just a little too tight...

I want to be a superhero
I've got a mask I've got a name
Your days calling me freak are numbered
Don't bother with surrender

I want to be a superhero,
(I want to be a superwoman)

I don't have any super-powers
(I'll hang out with my super girlfriends)

I want to be a superhero, I don't need any super...
(Talk about our days)

I'm gonna be a superhero
I don't need (have) any super-powers

Your days calling me freak are numbered
(and pushing me around, well)

My broken heart's a superpower
(they're over, they're over, over)

Its a nice idea, but I think it would be a pretty bad idea to date the movie by giving it a modern pop anthem or something like that. By putting it in '85 and keeping it in that era, it has a chance at being timeless, assuming it's gonna be a good movie that would stand the test of time otherwise.

But good thinking, maybe it could be used for ads?

Its too modern and feels really tacky with the direct references to the story. I think some older more subtle music would work much better.

Like I said, I dont want in IN the movie. Just over the credits or on the soundtrack
