So here's what's always bugged me about the Crash Test Dummies' Superman Song. You might want to refresh your memory by watching the video guest-starring the JLA just out of their retirement home for the funeral:
So... Solomon Grundy? A big swamp zombie is threatening the entire world? Since when has Solomon Grundy been a Superman legacy villain? Despite membership in the Legion of Doom (which I'm guessing may be where the Crash Test Dummies got his name), he never fought much of anyone except the original Green Lantern until the Justice League animated series, where he FINALLY fought Superman.
He's as out of place as Tarzan, as far as I'm concerned. Still, nice song.
If what bugged you is Superman hyphenated as "Super-man" in the newspaper headline at the end, you are a nerd.

Either way, when the song came out in the late 80s, it seemed very strange to me, and according to the Crash Test Dummies' FAQ, was only used because the lead singer couldn't think of another villain that rhymed with "money".
I dunno.
