I've been searching for a good first dance song for fiance and me. I wanted something a little different than the typical ones, but still applicable and still recognizable for most of our guests. Because fiance is a huge Superman fan, I wanted to incorporate that. Unfortunately, most Superman songs are songs along the theme of "dump that other guy", which isn't really what I want our first dance to be about! So I came across this Superman song - it's Lazlo Bane's "Superman" - a.k.a. the theme song from "Scrubs". I thought since we're both doctors, it kind of fit. Plus, I think most people will recognize it when it gets to the refrain, and chuckle a bit.
What do you think? Too hokey? Should I just go with something classic and safe?
Full lyrics:
Out the door just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by eight am
The phone rings in the car
The wife is working hard
She's running late tonight again
Well, I know what I've been told
You've got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
And you've got your love online
And you think you're doing fine
But you're just pluged into the wall
And that deck of Tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall
Well, I know what I've been told
You've got to know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
(that's right)
You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it, after all
I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall
Well I know what I've been told
You've to break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I can't do this all on my own
I know, that I'm no
Superman
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
Someday we'll be together
I'm no Superman
Someday
Someday we'll be together
Someday
I'm no Superman
