Call Me Edmund Fitzgerald

Well, that seems like good advice to me.  Applicable to everyone I think. 

So, I’m hoping to make this somewhat of a regular thing.  I have a collection of songs either about or referencing superheroes so let’s talk about ‘em!

This band, Atilla, was a project of Billy Joel before he went solo and became the Piano Man.  It was a two man band where Joel sang and played keyboards with Jon Small on drums.  Joel has referred to the band as Heavy Metal and as Psychadelic.  The self-titled album they put out was called “undoubtedly the worst album released in the history of rock & roll“ by Allmusic.  I disagree.  I have the whole album and I think it’s great.  Joel wails away while ham-fistedly nailing the keyboard.  The song doesn’t really appear to be all that related to Wonder Woman except in name.  One lyrics appears to reference a fight (”Wonder Woman, slap ‘em to the wall“), but other than that he just appears to be referencing a wonderful woman as opposed to Wonder Woman.  And I may be color blind, but I’m pretty sure that Wonder Woman does not have “long red hair.”  Song Quality: 4/5 Superhero Content: 1/5
