Paradise by the Karaoke Mic
Booster Gold gets his hands on a karaoke microphone in Harley Quinn #70 to sing
When I was lost, you took my hand
When life was gray, you made it grand
When I was damned, you knew the deal
When my heard was sand, you made it steel
I'll call you babe, and you call me boo
I'll love you strong, and you love me true!
Until the end of the world, I love you!
Don't be surprised if you don't recognize the song. It's not real. It was created by issue writer Sam Humphries specifically for the occasion ("to pass legal"). But he didn't create it without inspiration.
According Humphries himself (@samhumphries on Twitter.com), the song was inspired by "For Crying Out Loud," written by Jim Steinman and performed by Meat Loaf on his 1977 epic operatic album, Bat Out of Hell.
I've always thought of Booster as more of a U2 fan, but who am I to tell a Justice Leaguer what to sing.
