Goldfinger is an American punk rock and ska punk band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1994. In their early years the band is widely considered to have been a contributor to the movement of third-wave ska, a mid-1990s revitalization in the popularity of ska. Aside from the band's music, Goldfinger is also noted for their political activism, particularly in the area of animal rights. On their later albums, the band shed most of the ska influence and they have been more commonly placed in the punk rock genre than ska.
Superman was used in several scenes for the film Kingpin. Also, two years after its release, the song was featured in the 1999 video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater which is probably where I first heard of Goldfinger.
It is just a great, happy song that never fails to make me smile.
