'''''Super D''''' is an EP by [[Ben Folds]], the last of 3 in a series released between ''[[Rockin' the Suburbs]]'' and ''[[Songs for Silverman]]''. It contains three original songs and two covers: [[The Darkness]]' "Get Your Hands Off My Woman", and a live performance of [[Ray Charles]]' "Them That Got", included as a tribute to Charles who had recently died. Folds wrote "Kalamazoo" when he was 19, and knocked it around for years on demo tapes before inclusion here, adding a disco-like string section "because [he] could". "Adelaide" is a wry, semi-sarcastic piece inspired by [[Adelaide, South Australia]] where Folds makes his home. The song became a hit in Australia, reaching #26 on the [[Triple J Hottest 100]] that year.
