Take Me Away - Gumby

This is a higher quality version of the movie's music video.
I do not own this video. The true ownership belongs to the Clokey family...

[@BeefJerky_FromNewJersey]

Holy shit so I didn't hallucinate this whole thing when I was like 5.

[@michelletrucios]

I thought the same thing omg

[@ZakWolf]

Love how even though the movie was completed in 1992 (but not released until 1995), "Take Me Away" sounds a lot like a 1980s song!

Love how it sounds like a 1980s song, even though the movie was actually produced in the early 90s (production wrapped up in 1992, IIRC, but it didn't get released until 1995.)

[@Rebel_Railroad_Productions]

I know right? Sounds totally like an 80s Glam Metal song, even thought the movie was made in the 90s. They probably could've used a Grunge sound, but for Gumby I don't think it would've made much sense.

[@drummingdanny84]

wileyk209zback It sounds like it came out in '88.

[@NYRyder1983]

I didn't know they made that movie in '92.

I was obsessed with this movie and this song was the best part of the movie 😭 nostalgia hitting hard. 💓💓💓 the guitar solo tho 😍🎸🎼🎶

[@intercommerce]

nostalgia made ME cry, too! Guitar solo by Craig Chaquiro, amazing guitarist for Jefferson Starship, got to join a major rock band and tour the world, playing huge festivals while still only a teenager, due to his phenomenal talent!

[@tomdarnowski7005]

Is this song all in her head? Like she’s not in the Clayboys. I think she’s hallucinating all this while Gumby is shredding for lucky records

[@rickymoranjr9609]

the guitar strumming in this video is awesome, plus the ending guitar solo was perfect

[@maddol1]

Thank you Gumby, You took me away to Old memories

Man those Guitar rifts, this is why I come back and listen to this song. The beginning and ending is just awesome!

Those guitar riffs are courtesy of Craig Chiquico, former Jefferson Starship guitarist.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Ra - I know things, I see things, I grow things you should listen to the song "This way n that" at the end credits of this movie

It helps that the guitarist of this song, Craig Chaquito, was a member of Jefferson Starship.

[@SingersDream]

I’ve loved Gumby since I was a kid. And I still love him today. 😍😍

[@intercommerce]

Its odd because Gumby was around when I was a little kid, I remember getting a little green rubber Gumby and orange Pokey for Christmas and I was around 8, so for at least 55 years or so, he's been bringing cheer to children! If you watch the 1980's classic Spinal Tap comic parody of a rock band, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnal has the same rubber Gumby in his shirt pocket while on stage. "If you've got a heart, then Gumby's a part of you..." judging by the music, this song was done in the 1980's..

[@frostie1315]

absolute banger 80s style song

[@jacksonreichle4777]

I've never seen this movie before or heard this song before, but it still feels nostalgic to me for some reason, and I'm all for it

Oh, Gumby, oh The day that I met you I lost a piece of my heart Now I got you here Nothing's gonna keep us apart I don't have to worry I don't have to hurry now You're all that I need I know we can make it somehow We may gonna break through Heading for a fall Gumby, how can I make you See me at all? Take me away, oh Gumby You do something to my chemistry Take me away, oh Gumby You are a total mystery You're green, you're clay You're a cosmic display How can I go on this way? Oh, Gumby, oh Take me away Trouble to the left, danger to the right I feel it all around As long as you are near There's no need to fear And I won't back down I know you're the answer To all of my dreams Now that we're together, birds of a feather We're a perfect team Take me away, oh Gumby You do something to my chemistry Take me away, oh Gumby You are a total mystery You're green, you're clay You're a cosmic display How can I go on this way? Oh, Gumby, oh Take me away Oh, Gumby, oh Take me away Oh, Gumby, oh Take me away

[@caleb6566]

I LIKE THIS SONG IT WILL BRING BACK MY MIDDLE SCHOOL MEMORIES

[@IndriidaeNT]

I love how in the Pingu series, Pingu and Pingi’s romantic relationship is developed with slowly forming chemistry in Pingu’s Admirer instead of being forced like Gumby and Clara’s romantic relationship in Gumby: The Movie, based on Gumby, (While Gumby and Pokey’s brotherly relationship is executed much better.) Thomas while not romantically involved in Emily does soon get a love interest in Thomas: The Great Race based on Thomas and Friends. Related to Gumby and Pokey’s and Pingu and Robby’s brotherly kind of relationship, Pingu at the Wedding Party, based on Pingu, as well as The Little Bear Movie based on Little Bear and Franklin: Turtle Lake Treasure based on Franklin also have good examples of three protagonists who already have love interests (Pingi for Pingu, Emily for Little Bear and Otter for Franklin.) but form sibling or cousin relationships with their cousins and friends, including Franklin forming a good relationship with his godcousin and his Aunt Sarah’s goddaughter Lucy in Turtle Lake Treasure and Pingu forming a good relationship with his own cousin Pingki and Little Bear and Cub formed a brotherly relationship of some kind.

AHHH The Nostalgia

[@glennsnyder9711]

[@kaseyh8904]

I'm here because Rifftrax riffed it fairly recently. I didn't grow up with it; I don't have any nostalgic attachment to it. But MAN does the music rock. Even with Mike, Kevin, and Bill making jokes, pointing out how trippy any thing was or how faulty the logic could be, I still thought to myself "Man, a song in a Gumby movie has NO RIGHT going THIS hard." This is genuinely impressive and beautiful. Go, Gumby Movie!

[@TanyaKatherine]

I was also obsessed with it, and wanted to watch it over and over but it also creeped me out when I was younger, there was something painful or scary about it and I always wanted to cry for Gumby for some inexplicable reason. The visuals and sounds were sometimes like sad or harsh? like the dog tears sounding like coins in a cash register symbolizing tears/sadness/pain is making energy for another group of beings and that being a very sad subliminal concept.

Gumby and Terra are adorable together but honestly I think she was only added as a celebrity guest in Gumby’s world, you know how that is, ESPECIALLY in movies today, notice how she’s technically not officially either as she appeared in nothing else Gumby related since.
