Supermans Song

Crash Test Dummies

Transposer:

Tarzan wasn’t a ladies man He’d just come along and swoop ’em up under his arm like that Quick as a cat in the jungle () But Clark Kent now there was a real gent He would not be caught sittin’ around in no junglescape Dumb as an ape doing nothing () And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him Hey Bob Supe had a straight job Even though he could have smashed through any bank in the United States He had the strength but he would not () Folks said his family were all dead Their planet crumbled but Superman he forced himself to carry on Forget Krypton and keep going () Tarzan was king of the jungle and lord over all the apes () But he could hardly string together four words: " I Tarzan you Jane" Sometimes when Supe was stopping crimes I’ll bet that he was tempted to just quit and turn his back on man Join Tarzan in the forest () But he stayed in the city and kept changing clothes in dirty old phonebooths Til his work was through and nothing to do but go on home ()

La chanson évoque la distinction entre deux personnages emblématiques : Tarzan et Superman. Tandis que Tarzan est dépeint comme un homme sauvage et désinvolte, qui attire les femmes avec son charisme brut, Superman incarne un homme de valeur, réfléchi et responsable, qui choisit d'utiliser ses pouvoirs pour le bien des autres. Il illustre la force de caractère, même face aux épreuves, comme la perte de sa planète d'origine. Contrairement à Tarzan, qui vit librement dans la jungle, Superman reste en ville, dans un univers où il sacrifice sa propre simplicité pour protéger l'humanité, changeant même de tenue dans des lieux peu glorieux pour remplir sa mission. Cette chanson met ainsi en lumière la véritable essence du héro, celle qui va au-delà des apparences.
