Thanks for post this one.   Awhile back I had this to say about that:
I was half way through listening to The Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime," from the 1980 album Remain in Light again and realized that I was probably one of the very few individuals who have seen water flowing underground.

When I was about twelve years old I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, "The Rocket City!"   I went on a Boy Scout camping trip with Troop 378 or 379 (I can't remember which), spelunking down into one of the vast limestone caves that cover Northern Alabama.   After a long hike down and going deeper down with ropes a couple of times, we stopped by a fast moving river with the water as clear as glass.   We unrolled our sleeping bags and slept the whole night a few feet from the water in pitch darkness.   "Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground"

Note: Regarding the the Scout Troop, it had grown so big that they had to cut it in half and a successive number was assigned.   I cannot remember if the cave spelunking trip was before or after the split.

I just happened to think that I cannot remember even one person in either scout troop and it more than likely disbanded many years ago.   My family only lived there less than two years.

Music is a time machine, and indeed, this is one song that will rocket me right back to the 1980s.

Still have four Kenwood 100-watt, 30” tall speakers from mid-70’s. Not hooked up to anything, but they make a fine stand (below the widescreen TV) to hold other electronics.

Mine still work fine, and much better than a blue tooth Bose costing as much.
