The Kinks (1978) (Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman
This was during the Kinks heavy arena rock days of the late 70s and 80s where they sought a bigger commercial sound so divorced form their original look and feel. Though the Kinks started off in garage rock pioneering guitar distortion with their first hit, the seminal You Really Got Me. This is their heavy rock attempt at Disco with an aggressive, funky bassline the song goes through the motions of your typical Chic-esque disco number while Ray Davies usual kitchen sink lyrics play over it. His calls to be like Superman to sound closer to the Spiderman theme song but it's an interesting oddity.
