What I find disturbing is that this isn't viewed as a parody or joke...and that some people may find it inspiring...

I am a big fan of the 80s movies like St Elmos... while I didn't care much for the original song, it was perfect for the film and every time I hear it... it brings up good memories. But now, I think he's killed that for me.

I guess i never realized dude wrote it because of the Canadian wheelchair guy and not the movie. Its like he just tacked on the St Elmos Fire line to tie into the movie.
