The musical It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman didn't do so well on Broadway in 1966. It only lasted 129 performances. Still, it's had a pretty healthy afterlife in local and community productions.

In 1975, there was a low-budget TV adaptation and this clip is from it. That's Gary Owens narrating, David Wilson as Clark Kent/Superman and Loretta Swit (of M*A*S*H fame) playing a lady named Sydney who has some contrived reason to seduce the mild-mannered reporter. The production also featured Lesley Anne Warren (as Lois Lane), Kenneth Mars and David Wayne. This was the most popular number in the show, which featured a score by Lee Adams and Charles Strouse.
