Superman (Lazlo Bane song)
song by the American band Lazlo Bane
"Superman" (also sometimes titled as "I'm No Superman") is a song by American alternative rock 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.
Background and release
"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. "Superman" by Lazlo Bane served as a theme song for eight seasons of Scrubs.
Scrubs proved to be successful and "Superman" was later issued on the first show 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.
In 2020 the band reunited to record a video for the new version of the song featuring many guest appearances of fellow musicians and friends, including the members of Scrubs cast Zach Braff and Neil Flynn. The song was later included on the Lazlo Bane 2021 album Someday We'll Be Together.
In 2026 Scrubs returned with a new season and original version of "Superman" was again used as a show theme song.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Superman (Lazlo Bane song)” as song by the American band Lazlo Bane. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as song by the American band Lazlo Bane. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3977959. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 2002, 2020 and 2021.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
