"Superman" is a 1977 disco novelty song written by Puerto Rican producer/songwriter José "Pepe" Luis Soto. Celi Bee and the Buzzy Bunch originally recorded the song for their 1977 album of the same title.[1][2]
The song narrowly missed the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 41.[3] However, it was a Top 5 Disco hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Disco Action charts, along with the track "One Love".[4]
Pepe Luis Soto wrote this song in 1977, during the shooting of Richard Donner's film of the same name, released in December 1978. However, Soto wanted his song to be a kind of parody of the well-known comic book superhero to take advantage of his growing popularity.
In fact, it is a sexualized and explicit novelty song, which describes the intimate and personal feelings of a girl who relates to Superman. The lyrics includes lines as "You get so deep inside and wow".
