A bump because scrolling through Instagram just now somebody else used the same video compilation, but to a different song. Here it is, by @the80s.90s.guy, and done to _St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)_, by John Parr ➜ [Luke Ventura - The 80s 90s Guy on Instagram: "A cool tribute to the 80s ❤️❤️ #tribute #to #the #80s #we #love #!"](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C7oT1bWsS_1) And here again is the first one by @rach1612, and done to _Waiting for a Start to Fall_, by Boy Meets Girl (George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam) ➜ [Rachael Simmonds on Instagram: "Absolutely loved the 80s👌🫶 #80s #throwback #80sthrowback #memories"](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxriHivB8He) Long live the 1980s! The good parts, anyway. . _Also, looking at when I posted the OP, it was within a few days of my wife’s near-death experience. Her heart stopped 3x and she needed CPR to revive her (that was 05 Nov). They did CPR for 20 minutes, and then she came back. Today, she is doing well; basically a 100% recovery. She’s a lucky gal, and I’m a lucky guy._ _ **This thread was a welcome diversion for me then. Thanks to all who contributed!** _ ---
