Formed… Read Full Bio ↴Superheroes were a Danish band playing synth-based indie pop.
Formed in Skive, Denmark in 1996 by Thomas Troelsen and Asger Tarpgaard, the band consisted of Thomas Troelsen (vocals and synthesizers), Thomas Christensen (drums), Tanja Simonsen (keyboard and backing vocals), Lars Hovendahl (bass), Bjarke Staun (guitar and synthesizers) and Asger Tarpgaard (guitar). They officially split up in October 2006.
In 1997 they released a demo known as "The Blue One". There are only 500 copies of this demo and it is therefore very rare. In 1998 they released their debut album called Dancing Casanova, followed up by Igloo in 2000 and Superheroes in 2002.

Oh well I'm dressed up like
a sex machine
And if the kids are ready I'm ready to go
I smell a sexual
feeling in the air
We like girls and boys dancing in the street

Oh walla walla walla, shake your hips and shake your toes
We gonna make
you shake everything you got
Yeah, we better come with music you can dance
to
The beats we have are gonna make you move
We like girls and boys
dancing in the street
Ohhhhhhhh no, we're not the new generation

Ohhhhhhhh no, we're not a part of the new

We are the super six, yeah we gonna make you move
Ohhhhhhhh no, we're not the new generation

The lyrics emphasize the importance of music that makes you want to move and encourages everyone to let loose and shake everything they've got.

This is one of my favorite songs in history, this is beyond funky and that bass line pulsating with those drums, this made me want to become a music producer just to try and figure out how Prince got it so perfect, I'll probably be 80 when I finally catch up to him on what he did on this 🔥🔥🔥

There is a live version he performed in Holland with this mixed in with Race (from Come). About 12 minutes long and really good!
