When Childhood Heroes Become Studio Dream Partners
Ben Hum, a lifelong comic‑book fanatic, found himself stepping into a totally different arena when he teamed up with Warner Brothers for the DC League of Super‑Pets soundtrack. He didn’t just record a track; he delivered a Singapore‑only rendition of “Count on Me.”
How the Recording Session Went
- Unlike his Milky Way EP—which usually takes 4–5 hours per song—this was a two‑day marathon.
- Ben’s boss said, “When you get home, listen to this version close‑up, let it soak in, and we’ll re‑record tomorrow.” So Day 1 was basically a rehearsal.
- They spent over 10 hours in the studio, treating it as practice even though the stakes were sky‑high.
Ben’s Honest Take
“I was let‑down by how nervous I felt,” Ben admitted in a chat with AsiaOne. “You’d think a local singer could handle it, but this was a whole new level of intensity.” He laughed, acknowledging that even the most seasoned pros can hit a panic button when collaborating with their childhood icons.
The Bottom Line
Ben’s story reminds us that being a legend—even in the studio—can still make us sweat. It’s all about embracing the challenge, and who knows? A little nerves might just bring out the best performance.
Super‑Man, Super‑Dog, and the Quest for a Furry Sidekick
DC’s League of Super‑Pets takes a lighthearted detour when the Man of Steel, alias Clark Kent, drops by a local shelter to find a new companion for his super‑dog Krypto. Cast the scene: Dwayne Johnson vocals Krypto, Kevin Hart voices a cartoonish boxer named Ace, and a heartfelt tune—Count on Me—runs while Ace’s backstory is slowly unpacked.
Why “Count on Me” feels so touching
When Ben recorded the track, he drew inspiration from a very ordinary, pretty ordinary source: the look his girlfriend’s dog gives whenever the humans are about to leave the house. He recalled, “Every time we’re heading out, the dog’s eyes just say, ‘Please, bring me along.’” This genuine, animal‑laden plea became the emotional core of the song.
Turning a cutegreen puppy into an aching ballad
- Ben imagined the scene of a tiny Pomeranian named Cuddles—soft, fluffy, utterly heart‑melting—”channelling” that irresistible sadness.
- The result? A surprisingly tear‑jerking rendition, even though the storyline revolves around a shelter pup abandoned by previous owners.
- It’s the kind of music that makes you grin and then sob at the same time.
Wrap‑up: a love letter to every under‑appreciated pet
With League of Super‑Pets, DC reminds us that heroes on paper can be heroes at home, especially when a fido’s loyalty hinges on kind‑hearted humans. And thanks to Ben’s honest emotional cheat sheet, the soundtrack now echoes the universal feeling: We just want a hug and a place by your side.
