Arthur Curry

If I ran a game store I would play the song Arthur Curry by Ookla the Mok.

Aquaman gets no love. His superpowers are misunderstood and people joke about them. He can't fly. His costume is dated. He was shirked by Wonder Woman. No one wants to make a TV show, movie, or song about him. Enter Ookla the Mok. They made Arthur Curry – a song about Aquaman complaining about how he gets no love. It's a fast-paced rock tune with a chorus featuring Aquaman telling everyone to step off. The song is post-Crisis and pre-New 52, so its information is dated – check out 10 Reasons Aquaman is a Badass – but the song is fun and really fits the memories of people who grew up with the Super Friends and stopped reading comics as they aged.

Arthur Curry is from Ookla the Mok's 1997 album, Less Than Art. They have a second version of the song, Arthur Curry 2007, on the same album.
