I have a teensy confession to make. I sing along to music. One of my favorite songs to butcher?

Remy Zero's "Save Me" and it's all Smallville's fault.

Yes, I am indeed a shameless geek; but I don't think I'm alone in this. How many of you can hum Superman's theme song? Give it a try, I'll wait. I'm willing to bet that more than a few of you can do it. I know I can. Music and the story of Superman have always had a strong relationship. It's a tradition begun years ago that's carried on through the movies and now to Smallville. Repeatedly, the show has married great music to great moments.

Those moments are why we're here. Unless you're living under a chunk of Kryptonite, you know the writers are on strike. They need all the support they can get and this is our chance to give them a little more.

Right now, courtesy of Firefox News, you can buy the music of Smallville from iTunes or Amazon and show your support for the writers at the same time. Through December 31, 2007, Firefox News will donate 100% of its affiliate sales commissions to the Actors Fund. The Actor's Fund is a 125 year old organization that helps everyone in the entertainment industry. This will help both the writers and the crew members currently affected by the WGA writer's strike. Check out The Music of Smallville page to find many of the songs used on the series.

In writing this article, I was curious to find out what musical moments had stuck with my fellow fans over the course of the series.

The responses weren't much of a surprise.

While they ranged from Avril Lavigne's "So Much For My Happy Ending" to a piece by Mozart, for the most part they hit on similar themes.

Smallville is fond of the big, iconic moments. They wink and flirt with destiny every week and some of those moments stuck with us.

Some of the moments pointed out in my little poll?

• Peter Gabriel's "I Grieve" playing at Jonathan Kent's funeral.
  
• Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" playing as Lionel watches Lex in Belle Reeve.
• Stabbing Westward's "What Do I Have to Do?" playing as the camera pans up on Lex awaiting Lionel in the season one finale.
  

The one brought up the most was the first one I thought of when I asked myself the same question.

• The Calling's "Unstoppable" from the pilot. It's playing as Lex drives toward the bridge and the farm boy that will change everything.

It's the moment that probably launched a thousand Clark/Lex fans (if not more) and set the tone for the series. The relationship between Clark and Lex is as riveting as a car wreck and, like the song teases, one can't help wondering. What would happen if they'd teamed up instead?

Smallville's a story of transition and journey. Not just for Clark,  but for us as well. With the show, we travel from a world where people can't fly and alien heroes don't save the day, to a world where a farm boy with a taste for primary colours can catch a falling plane.

It's a world we wanted to run away to when we were kids. How many of us jumped off the sofa with a red blanket as a cape?

Without the writers, all the music in the world can't tell the story of Superman. I can't leap tall buildings in a single bound; but I can click a mouse.
