Rhinon erinomaiselta "Love Is the Song We Sing : San Francisco Nuggets 1965-1970" -kokoelmalta löytyi Country Joe & the Fish -yhtyeen kappale "Superbird", jonka Lyndon B. Johnsonia kritisoivasta sanoituksesta löytyy useita amerikkalaisia supersankareita. Biisi ilmestyi vuonna 1967 ja oli mukana Woodstockissakin esiintyneen hippiyhtyeen ensimmäisellä pitkäsoitolla "Electric Music for the Mind and Body".
Country Joe & the Fish: Superbird
Look, up yonder in the sky, now, what is that I pray ?
It's a bird it's a plane, it's a man insane, it's my President LBJ
He's flying high way up in the sky just like Superman,
But I have got a little piece of kryptonite,
Yes, I'll bring him back to land.
Said come out Lyndon with your hands held high,
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky.
I've got you surrounded and you ain't got a chance,
Gonna send you back to Texas, make you work on your ranch,
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
He can call Super Woman and his Super Dogs,
But it sure won't do him no good,
Yeah, I found out why from a Russian spy
That he ain't nothing but a comic book.
We'll pull him off the stands and clean up the land,
Yes, we'll have us a brand new day.
What is more I got the Fantastic Four
And Doctor Strange to help him on his way.
Said come out Lyndon with your hands held high,
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky.
We got you surrounded and you ain't got a chance,
Gonna send you back to Texas make you work on your ranch,
Yeah yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah, gonna make him eat flowers.
Yeah, make him drop some acid
Länsirannikon hippiskenessä tunnettiin muutenkin jonkinlaista viehtymystä Marvelin kosmisimpia sarjakuvia kohtaan, ja lokakuussa 1965 järjestettiin the Family Dog -kollektiivin kuuluisa "A Tribute to Dr. Strange" -tapahtuma. Esiintymässä oli muun muassa the Jefferson Airplane.
