Which version of this do you prefer?

Further notes:

Applause is available for license and the script for purchase through Concord

I don't think the other stage version is available for license yet, but it does seem like there are pro-shoot recordings that are or at least have been available

With the recent passing of TV legend Norman Lear, I thought it'd be interesting to spotlight the theme songs for the groundbreaking shows that he created and/or developed: the Bunkerverse, if you will, of All in the Family and its spinoffs Maude (which, itself, spun off Good Times) and The Jeffersons, as well as Sanford and Son and One Day at a Time.

The themes were written by top-shelf artists such as Quincy Jones (Sanford), Dave Grusin/Alan & Marilyn Bergman (Good Times), Lee Adams/Charles Strouse (All in the Family), and Jeff Barry and Ja'Net Dubois (The Jeffersons). And they're some of the most memorable theme songs of the era and of the medium.

On Superman: The Ultimate Collection (a compilation of songs from Superman media) there's a really pretty extended instrumental version of "It's Superman" from It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Superman, and for fun I tried my hand at writing some additional lyrics for the two extra verses.

Did my best to embody the spirit of the original's cheeky wit, full lyrics under the cut. Also, excuse my vocals! I am not a singer! To my credit I did do a key change, just not in the intended direction.

Oh how I wish I weren't in love with Superman A wasted life is all I've got with Superman To hope that it could ever be Is just a school-girl fantasy Oh, is there no one else for me but Superman?

Does he ever hold me? Has be ever told me He could care? Tell me please when will he Learn it's not some silly Fly-by-night affair?

Sometimes I sit and wonder if he's strong enough Not to be a hero, but to be in love To be that one who's always mine As constant as the sun will shine But while I think, my heart is flyin' with Superman

Does he even miss me? Or is he too busy Saving every day How can I pretend when Conversations end with "Up up and away?"

I know that I should find myself another man Someone to give my love to, as I know I can The homey type who'll stay around The kind with both feet on the ground But, 'til he comes, my heart is bound to Superman

Als wir hier im Theater All About Eve anschauten, schrieb ich, daß ich mir wünschte, es würde mal jemand die Musicalfassung Applause spielen, oder wenigstens das Video restaurieren. Das ist jetzt nicht passiert, aber immerhin hat mal eine freundliche Person eine leidlich ordentliche (zumindest verglichen mit der ganz fürchterlichen, die wir bisher hatten) Kopie der Fernsehverfilmung auf Youtube gestellt. Es ist very 70es, mit herrlich eingängigen und groovigen Melodien von Annie-Komponist Charles Strouse und Lauren Bacall ist natürlich ganz fabelhaft. Wie schon bei Bette Davis hat man allerdings wieder Zweifel dran, daß das Stück mit Eve wirklich besser ist, und noch schöner wäre es wahrscheinlich mit Len Cariou statt seinem Ersatzmann Larry Hagman geworden. Aber wir wollen jetzt mal nicht quengeln, und womöglich restauriert es ja irgendwann doch noch jemand.....

Sam: Hey Brennan, Grant's out for today's Game Changer, can you fill in for him?

Brennan Lee Mulligan, knowing that he is Prometheus and Game Changer is his eagle, but still filled with the desperate need to compete and die on any hill: Hell yeah
