_I came into some money so I don’t need you anymore Call me Superman or call me a whore_ I’m guessing mid-90’s alternative chorus may have been _Get back in Line_ ---

I don’t think those lyrics are right or it would turn up _something_ on Google. Tried quite a few partial phrases / lines / word combos but no results that look even close. ---

I’ve been drinking, as usual, but I’m pretty sure at least some of those words are in order. Out in the shop, I’ve got a 100 disc changer that crapped out, a six disc changer that crapped out and a fucking _cassette deck_ that still works. I’m pulling old tapes out of the woodwork and rediscovering music I had forgotten about. One of the songs is the one I’m looking for. ---

Male, female, or group singer? Type of instrumentation? ---

Well, from a search for Call me Superman, there’s this from 1999, but the other lyrics don’t match: [3 Doors Down - _Kryptonite_](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPU8OAjjS4k) ---

Sounds like a single male lead. Very early 90’s vibe, and that would jibe when it was recorded. Just after the lyrics I posted, is a “WOO HOO, Woo hoo, WOO HOO” (not much help in an internet search, I understand) Song is pretty cool, though. ---

Well, there’s a whoa-oh-whoa-oh near the end of Kryptonite… Not much else I’m finding except an Eminem song, and I don’t think that’s it…“I Can’t Be Your Superman.” (Not a big fan.) However, 3 Doors Down isn’t bad…think I’m gonna check out some of their other stuff. Thanks! 🙂 ---
