This is a exhilarating number by the British band Ian Dury and the Blockheads, led by Ian Dury—often dubbed the poet of punk.

Released in November 1980 as a single from the album Laughter, it offers a unique perspective: what if a well-known hero had an older sister who was even stronger than he is? The lyrics depict even Superman, who can solve any problem, becoming timid in front of his sister, playfully overturning old stereotypes.

The rich sound—grounded in funk and pub rock and bolstered by strings—is another highlight.

Coupled with the anecdote that it was the label’s 100th commemorative single, the song radiates a sense of playfulness.
