Here's my new video for “Run With Us”, in the form of some late '80s/early '90s nostalgia! Going through old episodes of ‘The Raccoons’ and putting this retro video together has been such a fun and nostalgic process. A huge thank you to the show’s creator, Mr. Kevin Gillis, for his generosity in kindly granting me permission to compile footage from the show to create this music video! I hope you all enjoy this fun little blast from the past! :D

[@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.

[@Dinosaurprince]

This hits harder when you are looking back 40 years.

[@rubenkepfergonzalez3044]

😢

[@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

[@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]

[@mathiast0466]

Even i wasen't borned in the 80s, This cartoon has changed me and gave me tears of joy about the magnificent past.

[@DanFoxDavies]

Gave me goosebumps - it takes a lot to improve on a classic.

[@EiskalteBanane.]

i remember everyday before going to school watching The Racoons. Ty for the beautiful memories,well done :)

[@inconceivabledark]

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

[@lorisiccia5914]

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

[@socialcody]

Nothing bad to say about this version at all , 10/10 Great job !!

[@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? 😅

[@ryanantranxia7044]

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

[@tnh723]

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

[@captain_black32]

Amazing cover! I used to really like this show as a kid however I LOVED the theme tune :)

[@nasentroll2900]

I love the music ... GREAT !!!! 👍🥰😍

[@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

[@Jhanawind]

Stil Steve Lunt is my favorite:) I remember when I was so young how much I loved The Racoons cartoons! :) So adorable!

[@master-kq3nw]

wonderful cartoon .

[@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 :-)

[@empty-sky]

Ahhh this is fantastic! Bought a tear to my eye

[@josephsinger3998]

OMG The Raccoons! Great cover!

[@jodyb1095]

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

[@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 ❤

[@garyeduardosanchezosorio5109]

todos los que crecimos en los 80's, escuchar este bello tema es como regresar al pasado y volver a ser niños

[@bradbonn2296]

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

[@Millennial_Mike]

I love this song. I really want to cover it live, but always think no one really knows it. your version is Class!!

[@lukastargazer3089]

SO GOOD! Best cover by far! could listen to this everyday and do!

[@PhilDrury]

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

[@Germanian_Runner]

your voice *-* so good!!!! i love ur music so much!

[@thrillseeker3528]

Nostalgia strikes. And strikes hard...

[@BabyBear1184]

Just heard this on Spotify and absolutely loved it

[@AstonsVintageTechnologyWorkshp]

Since the 'Steve Lunt' version is permanently locked away never to be heard again, this is pretty cool. We all waited for the original to be released and it never was (excluding the Canada only limited release of only a small quantity) Nice work and thanks.

[@nasentroll2900]

I love it. 😊

[@tyroneperez-palmacavero9098]

Masterpiece.

[@the_johnmorris]

Probably my favourite cover version

[@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

[@EastsideShowSCP]

This is amazing!

[@maritavastic8445]

Wooooooooooooooooooooow I like this song. So 80s :D

[@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. ❤

[@CrAzYGAMINGWOLF]

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

[@MikeAshkewe]

Probably one of my fav covers of this song

[@AppreciateMuch]

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

[@JerGol]

Unironically amazing. ❤

[@ruzi.the.spider]

Great work, this is dedication and art. Plus asking for permission!

[@IvanBuck]

Great remake

[@IAmTheUnison]

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

[@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.

[@dumdeedums8816]

This is gold

[@EmperorKarsa]

This fucking rules man! Excellent work on these jams.

[@Konsker]

nice love the song and the show

[@armandomariotto1]

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

[@williampollard4759]

I wasn’t a big fan of the show, that being said however ..... I loved this theme song. The fact that it is the extended version even better!!!

[@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

[@irfanhanif6843]

Magic

[@shubhangisyagi8196]

Nostalgia 👍😀.....loved it.

[@rubenkepfergonzalez3044]

Si que recuerdos como pasa el tiempo

[@ThisFeelingTV]

One of the biggest

[@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.

[@Alfazil]

This is a great cover.

[@SuperRodimusPrime]

A reboot of The Raccoons is coming out in 2019.

[@stevebravo1422]

Very tasteful rendition!

[@markodiablo3000]

Great song ❤

[@edwardpearce2492]

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

[@franciscoxavierlopezmartin5250]

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

[@silveryote1]

Gonna play this during the fursuit parade at iFC 2018: Canadian Invasion!

[@ryboothe7461]

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

[@Yu1awAngerWolf82]

Fantastic cover.

[@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.

[@0030mike]

I want my kids to watch the cartoons I grew up watching

[@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

[@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)

[@thefoxymiko]

Great job :)

[@therealcobracommander8324]

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

[@williamfiuza8328]

Very cool desenho inesquecível canção top.

[@timobrien8809]

Awesome !!

[@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

[@CaniusSwiss]

Awesome and with cartoon

[@andreasorsulic837]

Bert was my favorite.

[@markyoloup]

I like this version :-)

[@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."

[@Heretic1981]

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