Going through old episodes of ‘The Raccoons’ and putting this retro video together has been such a fun and nostalgic process.

[@alexpalmer9101]

Thank you very much for posting this, Mr. Fishel. I've been a fan of the Raccoons since...well, a long time. Seeing videos like this really brings it back, back to a time when animation and music went together so easily. Again, thanks. :)

[@CaptRicoSakara]

+Matt Fishel I love The Raccoons as a kid. Wish they did the planned 2003 animated film, but they never did.

[@alexpalmer9101]

***** They planned a film that recently? And it never took off? Damn...

[@CaptRicoSakara]

+Alex Palmer yeah, it was suppose to be called "As Long As Forever: A Raccoons Movie." It was suppose to come out back in 2003, but was cancel before anything was done.

[@stejones697]

Perfectly executed! …remembering those Saturday mornings…when nothing else really mattered 🥰

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

That is when you willingly woke up early,poured some cereal and parked your ass in front of the TV.

[@Waduppppp]

yeah

[@Dinosaurprince]

This hits harder when you are looking back 40 years.

[@rubenkepfergonzalez3044]

😢

[@BriGuyIL1980]

This has popped up in my head, off and on, for the past 30 years.

[@IAmKenkira]

Got goosebumps at the chorus and the timing of the video from it.

[@bobbyboy5952]

Me too 😁😁😁👌👌👌

[@LighthouseProductions1]

Yep me too

[@steveespinola7652]

Still a fan of this great cartoon. Man I miss my childhood.

[@JH24821]

This is amazing. I feel the tears in my eyes. So nostalgic right now. Thank you for this beautiful piece.

[@aaronvaldes3104]

Same

[@timbyles4124]

Me too. I. Shedding huge tears for the nostalgia alone. What a childhood eh?

[@amberlovescoffee283]

No way! ❤️‍🔥🤗 Thanks for giving me the biggest smile! 😃 🤍 you made my entire day! Thank you so much 🙏👍💞

[@torq6]

Yeah. Could feel something in my eyes 🥺

[@paullavoie5542]

I'm amazed! Wonderful rendition of my favorite song since I was a kid.

[@tardiswhovian]

This video… is a work of art. Words can’t describe how much I love it.

[@PhilDrury]

Too many friends from those days have passed. Never lose touch because you never get to speak again.

[@lorisiccia5914]

This was my favorite show as a kid. Still a great song about friendship.💙🏞

[@lenmarfox2947]

This is AMAZING! It brought tears to my eyes listening to it.

[@tnh723]

The Cybertronic Spree brought me here. Thank you for the magical childhood

[@ryanantranxia7044]

This is the BEST version of my favourite song! Thank you so much.

[@jenniferm6042]

Mojo had a top 20 greatest hits (you've never heard of). This song came up and I quickly thought, woah, stop the bus! This is a song feom the Racoons cartoon. And here I am. Thanks for the Nostalgia ❤

[@darcyasher2716]

Probably the greatest cartoon theme song of all time. In fact, one of the great all time television themes, period.

[@ruzi.the.spider]

Yes but have you heard "Better than a Dream" from the Dreamstone? 😅

[@DrClawandMadCat83]

I have listened to just about all of the versions (at least 6-7 of them!) and while they all have wonderful visuals and music; yours truly captured the spirit of the show! Hope to hear you live someday! ~ Cheers

[@inconceivabledark]

Oh my god this brings back some memories..... and I gotta say great cover!

[@Cheryl45Sun]

This song brings back so many memories but also that it’s so true in this day and age! Absolutely adore this song and when I am down and out I turn to this song as it picks up my spirit immediately! ❤. For those who else feels this song, know I love you as well as God and Jesus. ❤

[@keis93]

When darkness falls Leaving shadows in the night Don't be afraid Wipe that fear from your eyes The desperate love Keeps on driving you wrong And you feel you're going under You're not alone You can run with us We've got everything you need Run with us We are free Come with us I see passion in your eyes Run with us When the cold wind blows Turn your cover to the cold Don't be ashamed If you need someone to hold If you're sinking in quicksand And it's dragging you down And you feel you're going under We'll be around You can run with us We've got everything you need Run with us We are free Come with us I see passion in your eyes Run with us And you're behind closed doors All alone by yourself And you're longing inside To be somebody else You pick up the telephone And there's no one on the line Don't be afraid Cause there's still time You can run with us We've got everything you need Run with us We are free Come with us I see passion in your eyes Run with us run with us We've got everything you need Run with us We are free run with us Come with us run with us Come with us We are free run with us We've got everything you need Run with us

[@FoxBoy1992]

This is the best Raccoons music video I have ever seen, excellent job! I really enjoyed all the clips. What a great selection. I appreciate the effort very much.

[@darrenskinner3711]

Yarfy Fox Exactly how many Racoon music videos have you seen!

[@FoxBoy1992]

darren skinner They are out there if you look for them. Plus each episode has an official music video as well.

[@darrenskinner3711]

Well I never...you really do learn something new every day..I might just do that :-)

[@bradbonn2296]

This video is a love letter to my childhood. Thank you.

[@empty-sky]

Ahhh this is fantastic! Bought a tear to my eye

[@thrillseeker3528]

Nostalgia strikes. And strikes hard...

[@BabyBear1184]

Just heard this on Spotify and absolutely loved it

[@ryu_street_fighter561]

Such a great song

[@jodyb1095]

This was incredible. I always loved this song but you really took it to the next level. Wow.

[@andrewhoran8765]

Kevin Gillis has been trying to get a reboot of the show off the ground for years. There's concept art online and short proof of concept using audio from the original show's intro with the new animation.

[@mohwaz6055]

Love it 90 kids favourite tunes

[@CrAzYGAMINGWOLF]

This song will always remind me of my late dog Poppy. I listened to this song the day she died.

[@the_johnmorris]

Probably my favourite cover version

[@rubenkepfergonzalez3044]

Si que recuerdos como pasa el tiempo

[@Germanian_Runner]

Beautiful rendition of a song that has special meaning in my heart

[@irfanhanif6843]

Magic

[@master-kq3nw]

[@MikeAshkewe]

Probably one of my fav covers of this song

[@ThisFeelingTV]

One of the biggest

[@edwardpearce2492]

When a kids show from when you we're a kid makes sense out of chaos.

[@maritavastic8445]

Wooooooooooooooooooooow I like this song. So 80s :D

[@SleepyWeasel]

YES!

[@luciojb]

Hoping new releases maybe.... You're a talented guy, so i love all your musics/sounds...

[@armandomariotto1]

and I thought that Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors theme was unbeatable...

[@franciscoxavierlopezmartin5250]

This show is finally syndicated in Mexico, via The Roku Channel. 😊

[@markodiablo3000]

Great song ❤

[@dumdeedums8816]

This is gold

[@IvanBuck]

Great remake

[@ryboothe7461]

Am I The Only One Who Feels That THIS Version Of The Song Would Go GREAT With Cartoon Network's Fusionfall?

[@shubhangisyagi8196]

Nostalgia 👍😀.....loved it.

[@CaniusSwiss]

Awesome and with cartoon

[@EmperorKarsa]

This fucking rules man! Excellent work on these jams.

[@DTWX]

Ah, the *original* song song sung at the end of season 1, if I recall. I wonder why they replaced it with a female in the other seasons followed. Still, great to see this song on KZbin. **McGrin**

[@LegendKiller1fan]

Because Lisa Lougheed was a better singer than Steve Lunt. Not to mention, she was an up and coming Canadian Singer that caught a major break with The Raccoons. She was also the voice actress of Lisa Raccoon.

[@LighthouseProductions1]

I got one answer to how awesome this sounds, its blew my mind, this also sounds like a duran duran version to me as well

[@therealcobracommander8324]

I wasn't sold right away but by the end I was...nice cover. The original is still better but this is good.

[@IAmTheUnison]

Bravo! Bravo! This brings back such fond memories. ^^

[@barrystevenyoung4818]

Not much has changed. Pigs are still attacking the forest protectors on Turtle Island.

[@andreasorsulic837]

Bert was my favorite.

[@gazstretch8098]

Memories Memories beautiful memories ✨️ 💓 when life was so free used to run home from school for this anyone else 😊😁😊🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marziobergagna4885]

A long time ago I was one of you. You're all brand new and perfect. No mistakes, no regrets. People look at you and think of how wonderful your future will be. They want you to be something special... like a... a doctor or a lawyer. I hate to tell you this, but if you grow up here, you're more likely to wind up selling your bodies on the streets, or shooting dope from dirty needles in a bus stop. And if you're successful, you'll make money selling junk to crackheads. And you won't think twice about killing someone's wife, because you won't even know what was wrong in the first place. Or, maybe... you'll end up like me - a hobo with a shotgun! I hope you can do better. You are the future.

[@scottdiggs]

right on

[@substanceuser4722]

Run with us...We are free !

[@corjonbett]

There's talk of a possible reboot now!

[@TheCastellan]

corjonbett Reboots SUCK. Go for a continuation

[@alostlonewolf]

corjonbett only worth it is kevin gillis runs he show and makes more original music for it

[@greatgrabonzgee7447]

i wish i could thumbs up more than once.

[@NoahsArkade1]

miss this show

[@markpenrice6253]

I think more effort was put into the editing of this than the actual video for the original version... (and a heck of a cover of course)

[@markpenrice6253]

Though ... was a line changed in the first verse (and if so, why)? I'm going to have to check now. Something feels off. (That's the only bit however)

[@Guyverman01]

There are two covers to this song?

[@timobrien8809]

Awesome !!

[@renjiththariath7831]

kick ass song

[@coleslaw7000]

ooooh my god

[@jofremosquera1288]

la verdad...esos tres cerditos son puro encanto.

[@dexstewart862]

I recognize the pink guy from the Jimquisition videos.

[@Heretic1981]

Great vid. For me Lisa's version is still the best but this is a close second

[@thefoxymiko]

Great job :)

[@michaelsegal3558]

This version is good but the version I will always hold dear to my heart is the Lisa Lougheed version and actually Lisa Lougheed isn’t even the original singer of this song she is just the most well known singer of this song the original singer of this song was a guy named Steve Lunt but in Raccoons show Steve Lunt’s version was only used in season 1 of the show before the Lisa Lougheed version took over in seasons 2-5 and because the Steve Lunt version was only used in one season is why Lisa Lougheed is more well known as the original singer of this song when in actuality it was Steve Lunt who was the true original singer

[@LetsNeverPlayAgain]

Do you cover any other italo-disco stuff or is it just this?

[@MindWipe]

a perfect tribute Steve Lunt's original version (Brillent)

[@julieporter7805]

I am sure many have compared Cyril Sneer to the Onceler in the Lorax. They are both avaricious, cigar chomping, impersonal executives who lead from their executive ivory tower and cause environmental damage and only too late realize the error of their ways. But I will go one farther. Cyril is like the Onceler from the book and the original special. Cedric Sneer is more like the Onceler from the 2012 film: the awkward, geeky up and comer with the yuppie attitude, Freudian nightmare background, friendlier and more personal approach, and good intentions. He is pressured into that situation but willingly acquiesces and shows that if given the chance he can be as cutthroat as the predecessors. Only he too has to learn his lesson though in his case it's before Its too late. Ooh someone should do a video of The Raccoons to the Lorax song, "Biggering."

[@Anvilshock]

Footage (C) ...2014???? They still exist??

[@bryanthardin5514]

Good more upbeat he and lisa should do a Deut that'll be awesome song love theme 80s style

[@kevinkendall1098]

great song!

[@PTNLemay]

I'm confused, I hear people saying this song was part of the original show, but all I'm finding are these fan made videos that use the song. In what way did the actual show use the song? I was perhaps... 4 years old when it was on TV, so I really can't remember.

[@ejrobinson]

It was used over the end credits.

[@Hulk2k6]

It played in four episodes including the first one.

[@chrisschaaf9047]

Well done :D

[@Waduppppp]

i, or we, have so many friends i don't know what to do with um all!!!!!:)..................

[@gon7414]

Supeeeeeer !!!!!!

[@williamwilson480]

Disney channel in 1991❤

[@stefd75]

I could swear there is an extra line which i cant seem to find on any version it went Run with us, I see passion in yours eyes, Run with Us , We survive .....does anyone else remember this or is one of those Mandela Effect things

[@Ocea8i53]

Wish I was born in Canada

[@bendytvproductions6162]

4:22 hey Matt what episode of the raccoons is this clip from?

[@melancholyhill45]

I dont exactly know what the episode is called but its the one where they celebrate Cyrils birthday.

[@DrClawandMadCat83]

The Attack--Episode 1 S1

[@clerwer]

Quién me iba a decir a mí que Hobbo With a Shotgun me iba a llevar hasta aquí.

[@thrillseeker3528]

I used to run with them

[@Sener]

As a kid it always confused me why such a lame show had such an amazing song

[@TimonSuricata]

Lame Show? what.. Ralph Raccoon was friggen hot..

[@NatYT.01]

Love it. 🥲 tysm! Wow 🤩
