Not Canadian and never heard of the Racoons. Discovered this song about 10 mins ago - I’m always digging for musical/80s gold and this is definitely a find. Going straight onto my playlist.

Fun Fact: The music video to this great song was filmed in Downtown Toronto ( my home town) around Bloor Street and Yonge Street where the old Uptown Movie Theater use to be.

That explains why everything is blue, cause Toronto loves their blue.

I like the appearance of the movie posters at the beginning. It kinda gives a timeframe for when this video was filmed back in 1987.

[@princesspeachfan100]

She was beautiful back then! Such a shame she’s not really out there doing songs or anything anymore… She had a few albums and then just disappeared never being heard from on the internet or anything again… I would love to hear her again years later singing the songs like this from the show again! She’s much older now but I bet she sounds beautiful even now, I hope she comes out of hiding and does this for the fans one day… I’m suprised with Kevin being so involved with the fans keeping the show alive that nobody heard from Lisa, her songs from this are popular now from the internet more than ever yet, nothing… Really hope Kevin can get her back again for a reboot of the show if it happens voicing Lisa Racoon and doing the songs again…
