クライヴ・デイヴィス
"(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" was inspired by Ray Davies watching "Superman: The Movie" in late 1978. Ray Davies has said that the song was written as a joke in response to a request by music producer Clive Davis, who was then running Arista Records, for a record to appeal to clubs. Davies said of this: "It was kind of a joke, taking the piss out of Clive [Davis] wanting us to do a club-friendly record."
