Late yesterday afternoon it was announced that Minnesota won its bid to host the 2018 Super Bowl. The decision came after presentations by three finalists picked in October: Minneapolis, New Orleans and Indianapolis.

With all the excitement around the announcement we decided to put together a Coffee Break of "super" songs. What songs with "super" in the title or featured in the lyrics should we play?

Songs Played:

Soul Coughing - "Super Bon Bon"

Rick James - "Super Freak"

R.E.M. - "Superman"

Curtis Mayfield - "Superfly"

XTC - "That's Really Super, Supergirl"

The Chicago Bears Shufflin Crew - "The Superbowl Shuffle"
