The Hormonauts were formed in 1999 and thanks to the support of an independent swiss label - Voodoo Rhythm rec. released their first record “Hormone Hop” by throughout Europe.
It features twelve tracks, among them “Get off the wagon”, “Sweet young thing”, “Turkey Jive” and a great version of “Black Slacks”. The three artists promoted this record with many concerts in Europe: Germany, France, Holland, Spain, Switzerland are just a few of the countries that the fearless rockers stir up with their live act. So in three years they get a record deal with Ammonia Records – one of the most important italian independent labels and publish “Mini skirt”. Here the sound is even more blended, and the trio’s original tracks are truly epic. “Mini skirt”, “I see two”, “Mojito Joe” are three authentic jewels, with their excellent mix of rockabilly flavour with surf, ska and punk. The amazing versions of “Tainted love” and “Lonesome train” make this album appealing to a more varied audience. Their third album, “Hormone airlines”, is licensed by V2 records. Among its 14 tracks quite a few stand out: “Just why your blue” (with a rock/garage sound), “Cassius” and then “Solid gone”, “Little red Vanette” (going at a full speed with a captivating swing) up to the amazing ‘electro-western’ version of “Staying alive”, a pure essence of madness which will become a new video and a radio single. The “Hormonauts” believe their third album holds their real musical essence, their style and their artistic inspiration which the group has named “Hormonebilly”.
Now, introduced by the hit cover “My Sharona” The Hormonauts released “Hormonized”, their fourth album. It’s time now for the band to shift into a pure rock and roll sound: “Lucky Toy”, and “My Sharona”, but also the soft “Top of the world” or the “western” atmosphere of “Greasy Black hands. “Hormonized” and “Hormonette” are already true hymns, but the real blow are “Just Drive” and “Shit faced”!
The Hormonauts have taken part in the more important national rock festivals alongside groups such as Rancid, The Cramps, Nofx, Manu Chao, Millencollin, Ska-P, The Mars Volta and The Hives. Right now the Hormonauts are touring all over Italy and part of Europe with a new member, the Fourth Hormonaut, Reverend Cosmic, Andy's prodigal cousin from Somewhere, Texas! He's a Lap-Steel and Baritone guitar-slinger who'll be bringing a deep country twang and fuzz to the musical hurricane we already know and love! They'll be playing at Festivals, Clubs and wherever the fun is, riding their Big Blue Burnin’ Bus, two-litre diesel pleasure mobile!

Any Normal Super Hero
The Hormonauts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My girl's got green eyes,
And sometimes,
Her eyes are blue,
And sometimes,
In her in-between eyes,
There's a tiny teardrop makin' them change their hue.
Those grassy green eyes,
Look up and turn sky blue,
So when my,
My girl gets blue eyes,
I would do anything any normal superhero would do.
I would outwit the Joker,
Put the Penguin on ice,
And with a simple turn of phrase,
I'd make the Riddler think twice,
I'd wear my underwear,
Over my stupid lycra tights,
If I thought that she might get to sleep at nights.
But sometimes,
Those lovely green eyes,
Can't disguise that they're blue,
So when my,
My girl gets blue eyes,
I would do anything any normal superhero would do.
The Hormonauts' song "Any Normal Super Hero" is a playful love song with a superhero twist. The song is essentially about a man whose girlfriend's eye color changes from green to blue, and in her in-between eyes, there's a tiny teardrop making them change their hue. The man sees himself as a normal superhero and would do anything to make his girlfriend happy, especially when she gets blue eyes. He would outsmart enemies like the Joker, freeze the Penguin, and make the Riddler think twice with a simple turn of phrase. He would even wear his underwear over his stupid lycra tights if he thought it would help his girlfriend sleep at night.
The lyrics of this song may seem silly, but they convey the depth of the man's love for his girlfriend. He's willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy, even if it means acting like a goofy superhero. The reference to superheroes and their enemies adds a fun twist to the song and makes it memorable.
