If you stay to the end of the new Superman<\/em><\/a> movie, you may find yourself wondering what Iggy Pop<\/a> is singing as the credits roll.<\/p>\n

After reboot star David Corenswet has completed Clark Kent \/ Superman\u2019s attempts to settle his alien past with his new life on Earth, Pop is heard performing a track titled \u201cPunkrocker.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lyrics seem a little distracted or even blas\u00e9 \u2013 \u201cYou see me drivin\u2019 down the street, I\u2019m just not looking good \/ I got both hands off the wheel, I got you runnin\u2019 \/ I\u2019m listening to music you can\u2019t hear, I got pretty music in my ear\u201d<\/em> \u2013 but the suggestion that the narrator is living a life you can never understand is clear.<\/p>\n

\u201cPunkrocker\u201d is actually a quarter-century old, and even the Iggy version is just six years younger. It was written by Swedish alternative group Teddybears and first appeared on their 2000 album Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll Highschool.<\/i><\/p>\n

Its rebellious nature has inspired a wide range of artists to cover it, but the 2006 version featuring Iggy along with Teddybears (from the patched-together album Soft Machine<\/i>, designed to introduce the group to the American market) has the highest-profile. Cadillac used it in a commercial the following year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is always that high level of energy even though the gear we perform our music on shifts, and tempos will vary,\u201d Teddybears member Joakim \u00c5hlund told Riff<\/a><\/i> in 2011.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why Teddybears Wanted Iggy Pop to Sing ‘Punkrocker’<\/h3>\n

Referring to their range of collaborations, including Kylie Minogue, Kesha and Britney Spears, he added: We always look for unique voices that touch us in a strong way, be it the raspy bass of Mad Cobra, the sweet soulful falsetto of Cee Lo Green or the deep drawl of Iggy Pop.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate interview<\/a> \u00c5hlund admitted working with Iggy had been \u201cpretty heavy,\u201d explaining: \u201cAll those people are our heroes\u2026 we never would\u2019ve dared to dream. It\u2019s all pretty amazing for us that we got the opportunity to work with such cool artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mean any disrespect to any of the others, but Iggy Pop \u2013 that\u2019s a proud moment for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
