Reunion Tropes

Two brothers reunited when for the first time West Berliners were allowed to cross to the East for Christmas.

Reunited, and it feels so good
Reunited, 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit, and sugar this one is it
We both are so excited, 'cause we're reunited
Hey hey!

—Peaches and Herb, "Reunited"
