Magneto & Titanium Man
Did you know that there is a song titled "Magneto & Titanium Man"? Sung in the first person, it concerns a man and his good friends, Magneto and the Titanium Man. One night, he is discussing his lady-love with these notorious Marvel Comics supervillains when he is informed by them that his woman will be "involved in a robbery, that was due to happen at a quarter to three". Initially disbelieving, the fellow resigns himself to the truth when the Crimson Dynamo (a character virtually identical in concept to Titanium Man) chimes in as well. The four ride down to the location of the crime, where it transpires that they are the perpetrators of this offense, while the narrator's lover is present in a law-enforcement capacity.
Leaving aside the more obvious issue that it must be difficult to date a police officer if your drinking buddies are supervillains, why the hell are Titanium Man and Crimson Dynamo hanging out with Magneto? First off, they're human (as is, presumably, the narrator), a species Magneto is rather well known for despising. Secondly, he controls magnetism, and therefore metal. Their 'superpowers', such as they are, involve being encased in metal. Why would they want to be anywhere near Magneto? One off-hand remark about how "Magnus" sounds like a porn-star name, and you're a fine paste oozing out of your crumpled super-suit's eye holes.
But that's not the weirdest thing. The weirdest thing is that this song was written by Paul McCartney. Yes, that Paul McCartney. The mind boggles.
The original song isn't on iTunes, but a covered version is.
