Supersonics was a promotional CD released by the post-grunge band The Presidents of the United States of America. It was issued in order to coincide with the Seattle Supersonics' appearance in the 1996 NBA Finals. The music for the song was the same as their earlier song "Supermodel," but with new lyrics to reflect the then current stars of the team.
