Override method name and original method access

In an unusual twist of code I have a subclass which overrides a method but
it also needs to call the original method:
class One:
def add (self, stuff):
self.stuff.append(stuff)
class Two(One):
def __init__(self, otherstuff):
<MYSTERY>(otherstuff) #otherstuff must go into list within the parent.
#The override - totally different function in this context.
def add (self, data):
self.unrelated.append (data)
For:
<MYSTERY>
I have tried:
self.One.add( otherstuff )
No go.
super ( Two, self).add( otherstuff )
Gives this error:TypeError: super() argument 1 must be type, not classobj
(Which reminds me, how the heck does super work? I always get that error!)
I could just change the method name to adddata() or something. I could pass
parent references around, but want to avoid that.
I thought I'd ask about it here.
