Supergirl has made an appearance in quite a few pop songs (and other genres) over the years. Doe-eyed pop tartlets have declared their status as a Supergirl; angry dumpees have lamented Supergirl's cruelty; the techno world has apparently decided that Supergirl spends all her time dancing in outer space.

What does all of this mean? Pop music has long been a barometer for measuring the nation's collective feeling. How do we feel about Supergirl? Is there a significant difference in how she's treated by male writers are opposed to female, or by sheer unabashed pop as opposed to other genres? Has her musical meaning changed over time?

This is by no means a complete list of Supergirl songs, but a work in progress. If you've got a Supergirl song you don't see here, let me know!

[Note: Although it can be argued that for some instances of the word "Supergirl" in these lyrics a more generic "super girl" (as in "girl who is super") is intended, I have written them all as "Supergirl" for consistency's sake, especially as many of the usages are ambiguous. Part of the reasoning behind this is that I believe it is impossible in this day and age to use the word "super" as a prefix or adjective without evoking the concept of Superman, and thus, by extension, Supergirl - most especially when the "super" precedes "girl."]

All songs belong to their respective artists.
