“Superman” is a song by the American band Lazlo Bane, from their album All the Time in the World. It was written by Lazlo Bane and Pondy Doorcan. It is most noted for being the theme song to the American TV series Scrubs. It samples "Impeach The President" by '70s soul group The Honey Drippers
Zach Braff, the star of Scrubs, suggested the use of the song as the theme to executive producer Bill Lawrence, and also directed the song's video, which shows behind-the-scenes footage from the Scrubs set. The video features several of the show's cast members, including Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Ken Jenkins. It was filmed at the abandoned North Hollywood Medical Center, which doubles as the show's location Sacred Heart Hospital.
The song was covered by The Blanks, who played members of Ted's Band, “The Worthless Peons”, on Scrubs which was featured as the outro to the final episode ‘My Finale’ during the run of the blooper reel. It also opens the band's album Riding the Wave.
The song was also covered by WAZ. This version was used as a theme song for the ninth season of Scrubs.
