about

Who knew this song would take off? I used to love the Superfriends, but always felt bad for Aquaman. His powers are useless. Batman has no powers, but has far more "cred." So I wrote this song, with Michael Lille, from Aquaman's perspective, as he woos Vicci Vale.

lyrics

Sitting in the Hall Of Justice Is there justice after all
After all when you discuss us I am the last name you recall

So he might sell a few more comics As soberly he saves the world
I've had seven gin and tonics And I want you to be my girl

I could take you to Atlantis It makes that cave look like a hole
Tie one on on the Titanic Vicci Vale my heart you stole

Have you ever had the notion That he's just a rat with wings
I'm the king of 7 oceans And Vicci You're my everything

Barring maritime disasters I have got some time to spare
While he's all tied up with Robin In a cape and underwear

I could take you to Atlantis It makes that cave look like a hole
Tie one on on the Titanic Vicci Vale my heart you stole

If you see it with objective He is just Bruce Wayne in tights
You could be a bit selective And have free seafood every night

Well, I could understand If he were Superman
After all that cat can fly But take away that Batmobile
That boat, that belt, that butler He's just another boring guy

I could take you to Atlantis It makes that cave look like a hole
Tie one on on the Titanic Vicci Vale my heart you stole

If you look at it from my side Of the heros that you've met
He's a bit more on the dry side Everything's better when wet
