Laurie Anderson 'O Superman'

Laurie Anderson is known as a sort-of avantgarde artist. Surprisingly, in 1981 she got a Nr. 2 hit in the UK with "O Superman". Great song, great video, great lyrics (Who is this really? / And the voice said/this is the hand/ the hand that takes / ... / here comes the planes / they're american planes / made in america / smoking or non-smoking? / And the voice said: / Neither snow nor rain nor gloom / of night shall stay these couriers from the swift / completion of their appointed rounds.) Plus you oughta remeber the appearance of this song in Nilecity 105,6; the singingGarfield dolls.
