"Superman" (also titled "Gioca Jouer"〔) is a 1981 novelty song〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discogs.com/Black-Lace-Superman/release/469488 )〕 written by Italian musicians Claudio Cecchetto and Claudio Simonetti,〔 most famous for the 1983 recording by Black Lace. The UK single's B-side, "Teardrops in Your Eyes", was an original composition by Black Lace's Alan Barton and Colin Routh.〔 == Overview == The original version of the song, Gioca Jouer, had a really great success in Italy, also being the Festival di Sanremo of 1981 opening theme. In the summer, the song arrived in Spain, and became very popular in discos. Here John Wagtaff (head of Flair Records) heard it while looking for a style of music that would be popular in the United Kingdom. When translated into English, "Gioca Jouer" became "Superman". The song featured a number of dance gestures that acted out the lyrics – including walking, swimming, skiing, spraying deodorant, sounding a horn, ringing a bell, flexing muscles as a "Macho Man" and flying like Superman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.essential-eighties.net/b_listing_6.htm )〕 These dance moves were detailed on the record sleeve.〔 On the Black Lace recording, the intro drum fill was played by Wakefield drummer Barry Huffinley; the remaining rhythm was programmed using a sequencer.〔 The song was recorded at Woodlands Studio in Normanton, West Yorkshire.〔 In 1987, Colin Gibb released an alternative version of the song with explicit lyrics, entitled "Supercock".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Supercock-Explicit/dp/B003ZBQ7JE )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Superman (Black Lace song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
