Rewrite

I rewrote the "song meaning" section, to add more from the song. I tried hard to simply explicate what the song itself says, using the actual lyrics. The part about the chorus being ironic because Superman wasn't, in fact, a "man" at all could be considered OR, but I don't think it's a stretch from the apparent meaning of the lyric. However, I have avoided any discussion of what the song actually means, in terms of any sort of political commentary or whatever because, a) it's not at all clear to me *what* this song is actually "about", and b) I don't have any sources for that anyways.

Your efforts were laudable but the OR keeps sneaking back in and expanding. I decided to just remove the whole thing because nothing, absolutely nothing, in the entire section was based on a source. Other songs on Wikipedia don't have "Song meaning" sections, i.e., analysis, interpretation, etc., unless there are sources backing them up. This should be no exception.

Death of Superman comic arc

In December 1992, DC comics (temporarily) killed off Superman and it became a huge media event. MuchMusic announced the death of the character by playing this song. (Original research, or I remember watching it live all those years ago.) Nutster (talk) 09:58, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
