O Superman
"O Superman" (parenthetically known as "O Superman (For Massenet)" in tribute to Jules Massenet) is the 1981 debut single by American artist Laurie Anderson. A pop song rooted in minimalist and electronic music, the song became a surprise hit in the United Kingdom after it was championed by DJ John Peel, rising to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart in 1981. Prior to the success of this song, Anderson was little known outside the art world. First released as a promotional single, the song appeared on her debut album Big Science (1982) and as part of her live album United States Live (1984). In the 1981 Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll headed by Robert Christgau, critics voted "O Superman" the best single of the year.
