Good spot! And while you're surely right that the 1967 song is the intended reference, Chris' initial reference to Superman was understandable as the phrase was coined for that character's 40s radio show.

Why do the editors allow NAIR two days running and endless ONO's and OLES? Well I know they are needed to fill awkward spots in the grid but it's gotten old ! I suppose we should just be glad we haven't had OREOS three times a week lately. Theses days its EGOT lol.
I wonder if anyone read "GETS A TAN" as "GET SATAN". Just me?
i came back to the puzzle on Sunday morning to finish off the last dozen clues and thought " I don't remember GET SATAN as an answer last night ! "

The phrase is still "Absent WithOut Leave". Absent, not Away.
Sire and dam, not dame.
Dale Chihuly and his studio are in Tacoma, not Seattle.
