The Naming Game.. Some Clarifications!

Why is this blog titled "I'm no Superman"? The reasons behind such a move has already been illustrated by Anti here. However Anti would just like to clarify certain facts behind this title.
First, this line (or should I say ?phrase?), appears at a lot of places. There are atleast two songs with this line. One is the song Where Are You Going by the Dave Mathews Band. The second song that I am aware of, is the song of the same name by the group Lazlo Bane.
"Superman" is also the theme of the NBC series Scrubs which airs just after Friends every Thursday. Actually "used to air" is kinda better, because this season's episodes are all done. Well, Anti started watching this series only because of the catchy theme song and was hooked on the humor.
Anyways, here's the lyrics.

Artist : Lazlo Bane
Song : Superman
Album: All The Time In The World

Out the door just in time
Head down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8 a.m.
The phone rings in the car
The wife is workin' hard
She's running late tonight again

Well
I know what I've been told,
You got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall

And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right

You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll be together
I'm no Superman
Someday
Someday we'll be together
Someday
I'm no Superman
