“Superman” is a song by American band Lazlo Bane from their album All the Time in the World. It is most noted for being the theme song to the American TV series Scrubs.
"Superman" was first released on the soundtrack album for the film The Tao of Steve in 2000, a year prior to its first appearance in Scrubs, though it was not featured in the film itself.
Zach Braff, the star of Scrubs, was impressed by the song and suggested the use of the song as the theme to executive producer Bill Lawrence.
Scrubs proved to be successful and "Superman" was later issued on the first show’s soundtrack and as a promotional single. Around the same time, in September 2002, the song was released on Lazlo Bane's second studio album All the Time in the World.
The soundtrack version of "Superman", both Scrubs' and The Tao Of Steve's, has duration 3:38 and omits the intro count-in which is present on the album All the Time in the World, making the duration of the latter 3:43.
The single version of the song also doesn’t have the count-in, but it is 5 seconds shorter than the soundtrack version due to slightly faster speed.
The last episode of the eight's season of Scrubs "My Finale" features a portion of the acoustic instrumental version of "Superman".
"Superman" samples the drum track of "Impeach The President" by '70s soul group The Honey Drippers.
Zach Braff directed the song's music video. It shows behind-the-scenes footage from the Scrubs set and features several of the show's cast members, including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Ken Jenkins. The video was filmed at the abandoned North Hollywood Medical Center, which doubles as the show's location Sacred Heart Hospital.
