This makes me hope she gets her wish. And that Larry Niven is right.

glenweldon:

“Easily the most ignominious pseudo-tie-in, however, was the disco song “Superman” released by Ceci Bee and the Buzzy Bunch, which went to #3 on the Billboard dance chart and later became a more modest hit for Herbie Mann.” - From Superman: The Unauthorized Biography, Chapter 8 “1978: The Year of Superman,” p. 172.

(DO NOT CONFUSE this song with the Barbra Streisand ballad of the same name, and the same era. Very very different. Carries its own unique kind of hurting. I’ll get to that.)

I could only sample a tiny bit of the Ceci Bee lyrics for the book, but you really need to see/hear them, because ow.

“Superman, you make me feel

I’m the queen of world

Superman, you make me feel

So special when you move me

Up and down and round 

You get so deep inside and, wow

You warm me up, it’s super

Then I wanna shout

Again and again

Superman-man-man-man

I love you Superman-man-man-man

Do it to me Superman-man-man-man

I need it Superman-man-man-man”

… It just … goes on like that.

laughterkey: monday-friday: Kids, back in 2012, your aunt Robin wanted to do something more with her life. So she took her love of guns to an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D and fought alongside the Avengers. Now, your Uncle Barney and I took it pretty hard; she was getting to spend a lot of time with another billionaire playboy, this guy named Tony Stark. Your Uncle Barney almost went crazy when he found out the guy had a metal suit. “It shoots fireballs, Ted! He looks like a freakin’ storm trooper!” Then your uncle Barney decided to fight back.

They’ve taken my phone and netbook and they block Facebook. Way to change my attitude about Jury duty, Fairfax County!
