Sky System II Question

Unread postby Scott Go Pre » Tue Aug 31, 2004 3:25 pm

In JJ's Sky System II there is a segment that is called Hot Vaults and features great vaulters from the 80's such as Duplantis, "Bagman", Starkey, the Soviet Union guys from the 84 Olympics, and Bubka-clearing 20' for the first time. There is one song that is between "Break On Through" by the Doors, and "Nervous Tension".

My question what is the title of that song and who sings it? The song is not in the credits for the songs used. For those who don't know what song I'm talking about, here is some of the lyrics:

Code: Select all

Woke up this morning Started to sneeze.
Had a cigarette and a cup of tea.
I looked in the mirror what did I see...

Part o the Chorus:
Superman, Superman, Wish I could fly like Superman
Superman, Superman, wish I wanna be like Superman..


If you know the title and artist, that would be great! :yes: :D

The title of the song is "Superman" by the Kinks. We used to have a tape of vault music we would play during practice in our indoor facility. When that song would come one there would be fights to get on the runway to vault during it!!! :yes:

My all-time favorite "vault" songs.

Not much help I know, It came out in the 70's. It's on there greatest hits album also. (which I've bought and had stolen twice). I've also found it on Kazza about two years ago.

just found it on kazaa...
Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill. - Muhammad Ali

Talent in cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work.
-Stephen King

PVJunkie, thanks for the file. This is one of the best songs to listen to before pole vaulting!

Thanks JJ for putting this together with the vault videos. Without that video, I don't think that NeoVault would exist-- I might have, but who knows. Yuo are truly the GODFATHER of the vault. :D

Kazza is old news...best downloading site on the net has to be Ares. It never fails, no viruses, and they only have complete songs with no scratches or inturruptions. Believe me, it's amazing!
Just fly high, and KISS THE SKY!!!
