Rufus Wainwright - I'm A-Runnin

[shortymatt420]

first listened to this in my youth when I loved Tommy Tricker and the stamp traveler.

Now hear I am 20+ years later and I am still rocken out to this haha!

awesome tune!

[73chevy81]

@shortymatt420

This tune is awesome. I completely forgot about it until I decided to watch the movie on here with my son. I must say...we have listened to it a few times since :)

[BlueScarfLady]

This is so good (and I like the montage, too - especially the kangaroo) thanks for putting it up. I've been looking for this ...

[janX9]

Love that song!

[SlinkyDogs1]

Geweldig, den goeie oude tijd!!! Hopelijk brengen ze hem in Europa ook eens uit op DVD!!!!

[LadyJoy92]

LOVE IT!! I have the honour of owning this on VHS!! A true classic and I still know all the words to this song!! ;P

[ShaneFoxX]

[SmithDoe]

@ShaneFoxX Cool! I'll watch your video for sure once once you'll post it.

[ShaneFoxX]

[ShaneFoxX]

[rad4life1]

Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveler! I remember this movie when I was a kid! XD

[THEtinybrat24]

OHMYGODDD. This just made me love Rufus 4568239085 billion times more. He looks so adorable. His little facial expression at the end is priceless. I love him so much ;)

[Limmensita]

If I were in that movie, I'd definitely be the girl who stalks him. :D And the One who finally catches him. If I were just that little person again.

[annydiii]

always wanted to do this song i loooooove it! hahaha! why..i dont know ,...but i do!!!

[babymoondancer]

The voice is emerging!! Very cute!!

[thecupdidit]

wat happened to his clear pronounciation here? sucha shame -had no idea he started so young! x

[pineapplelesson]

@thecupdidit

drugs is what happened. lol

I actually like his slurry words! lol. It gives him character. Although at times I think he overdoes it.

[TwistProthers]

does anybody know, what the other song is, that they are playing when ralph is transforming to get on the stamp? please let me know :-)

[adfgfds]

God, Rufus was so cute back then :D

[adfgfds]

I must have been only 5 years old when I saw this movie for the first time. I own this video, and its always been one of my favorites. And always will be :-)

[MetalZoneMF]

Rockin' the Complexe Desjardins!

[tdog1082]

Ever since I saw the movie Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller, like 15 years ago, I occasionally would get this song in my head. Finally I decided to type some of the lyrics into google and I found this. For some reason the song in my head had a deeper voice, but this is still cool.

[gtq838]

lol, me too. thing is I was like 6 when I saw this movie and the 12-14 year old kids seemed like adults to me... I imagine that was the case for you too.

[clustro]

dude you just completely read my mind

like, exactly o_O

This movie seemed like it was for grown-ups when I was a kid :D

great movie

[oleander2882]

Same here about the deeper voice. Probably because we were young and thought our voices didn't sound like those of kids. Hah.

[EdwardXBella4eva]

Plus, I LOVE his super cute head bop!! *Fangirl squee* He is so cute at 12!!

[EdwardXBella4eva]

I'm not much for Rufus and his music, not because he's gay or he's not an amazing singer, because he is, but because I just don't like his style of music very much. But I DO like this one a lot! It's got that up-beat, rockish style, which I like very much! And I myself think he looks extreamly cute at 12!!! :D

[snowphoenixpink]

love the movie..didnt know he wrote this song at age 12..and who would have thought at grown man he be gay and still singing..gorgeous too =)

[philaphobic]

i think he came out publicly by age 13

[NumbData]

You can tell its Rufus by the head bob he does

[johnnydobsessed]

and by the fact that he's just so darn cute :) ahh i prefer this style, it suits his voice, i think. :D

[strife2405]

I looked everywhere on teh internet google and all and I can't find this song to download doe's anyone know where i can get it please. P.s. None Wainwrights Albums contain this song

[FraukeS]

I'm not sure, but I think the only chance you will find it, is finding the original soundtrack of this movie...

[jako023]

true true

[jako023]

he wrote this song when he was ten or so youll almost have no chance of finding it

love rufus

[bloodiedXangel]

Limewire might be your best betl. Or some other torrent. I'm doing my best to get it.

[lillimarleennight]

oh that's wonderful, that there videos like that and you can find them here:)  he is awesome.

thankyou.

[pearlrachinsky]

wow. proof that he's a sheer talent.

[homie413]

I looove Rufus Wainwright! When he says "Nah" at the end, you can def tell it's Rufus. Cause he still sounds like that. Thanks for posting!! = D

[adhfan75]

Aw little Rufus! So cute! Lol! That had to be awhile ago, since the Tommy Tricker movie debuted in 1988.

[jokinomx]

Just awesome.... as a person looks back it's so apparent that he is a genius when it comes to music and lyrics. He reminds me of Ricky Nelson at this age. This song in particular reminds me of Nelson's style.... he was so comfortable on stage even at this early age.

[TiFFyMcEE]

This was one of my fav movies growin up. Nostalgia at it's best.

[jako023]

mee too

[DylanDerwn]

My God, u are soo right!

[lillimarleennight]

[SmithDoe]

[doubletakelook]

@alphafemelle I thought the exact same thing :)

[BrownanDownable]

@alphafemelle Hahahah, yeah, he does look like Sid.

[poissondejupiter]

@alphafemelle I agree! LOL

[AlliceSpring]

I can't believe! I can see young Rufus! Oh, he's amazing... He's always amazing:)

[RISDesign]

Oh, man, he's incredible.

[DylanDerwn]

Putz, yo lo amo!! Tell me, isn´t he gorgeous??

[gaywil]

[RestlessShip]

[NorbyIII]

this is actually a compilation of clips from the movie Tommy Tricker & the Stamp Traveler. The actual scene in the movie that debuts this smash hit is truly a life-changing experience that this clip only feigns to incorporate. Watch the whole movie please. It's worth everyone's while.

[goldnight]

[vinstar13]

[cocostar88]

OMG thanku thanku thanku for posting this! xxx i was obsessed with this movie and this song as a kid!

[anonymus88]

SOOOOO cute!!!

[Angieelek]

woow young rufus! I'm totaly surprised! I am fan of rufus but I have not seen him as a child! Good song but I prefer the older rufus...

[SmartAlek2]

It's so strange watching him as a kid. His facial expressions while singing haven't changed a bit!

[rockfrog2]

I had absolutely no idea he sang this.This is so incredible.I used to watch this movie when I was a kid. Now 15 years later I'm a Rufus Wainwright fan and I just found out about this video and him singing for it.Waaoow.Goosebumps. This such a great coincidence.This is crazy

[hurricanebtvs]

Can i just say, i love you =D i first saw this movie in 1992 on sky movies, and i loved it so much my parents taped it for me two days later. fast forward to 2007, im 19 and still desperatly seeking the holy grail of all songs that is ima running, and finaly i have it. just wish i had a decent recorder =/

[westben2002]

[Harriet123P]

Effing hell! Little Rufus! He was a genius then too! Wow!

[penroyaltea]

If it's after the 'incident' then the words are pretty poingniant. He is a sweet kid tho, very tallented.

[pogo182]

what incident

[penroyaltea]

he got raped when he was just a little kid in a park

[randomlettersand5]

MY EYES (and ears)ARE BUGGING OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!Thank you thank you sooooooooooooo much!!He is kicking ass as a 14 year old!!!!

[firebrnd13]

Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveller is truly a great movie, especially for kids. Great post, Rufus is quite a talent.

[turkaderr]

OMG, thank you so much for posting this..this was like a staple of my childhood, I was in love with this movie, with rufus and this song..and also loveddd Marthas song at the end, tommy come back...I was in such shock when rufus reappeared years later, and I fell in love all over again!!

[MikeM8040]

I've been hunting for this movie for years! It was my absolute fave as a kid (and I've since fallen in love with Rupert again as well). I even tried Tommy's trick of riding a bike without holding the handles, only to be flung head first into a nearby tree.

[CuzImACreep]

This is so cute. :D

[PeruvianJew]

Oh Rufus! This is hilarious until you realize it's actually a good song and that he wrote it! So.. bravo Rufus.

[SmithDoe]

Yep, It's actualy a really good song for a 14 years old boy :)

[luziederschrecken]

Did he really write this himself? How do you know? Quite amazing if it's true.

[LadyJoy92]

I am still in awe. WOW! that is a quick trip back to childhood. *smile One of my fav movies growing up and I always loved and still remember the words to the entire song. Yes, watched many..many times. *grin

Thanks for posting..must fav!

[mirddyndumer]

HE IS AMAZING! Blessed be! Lo amo, lo re-amo! TE QUIERO!!!!!!!!!!!

[brokenbeauty321]

[auryn33]

Thank you so much for posting, I've been waiting years to see this again!

I believe his sister sung the song at the end of the movie (the end credits?). It was called "Stop That Boy" or something like that..

[SmithDoe]

Yeah the song at the end of the movie is called "Tommy Come Back" and yeah, it's performed my his sister : Martha Wainwright

[mariamariaa]

holy crap!!! I can't believe this!

[inevitabilityHAA]

OMG rufus is soooooooooooo adorable!!! it's so cool how he has certain looks and ways of moving his mouth and body when performing that haven't changed even to this day! it was crazy watching this video and seeing all those little things! he had a great voice even then, but my gosh he looks so young! tho i think he's 15... which would have been after the uh "incident" :( poor kid. can't imagine it when looking at him in this!

[mirddyndumer]

What incident? What r u talking about? answer please!

[inevitabilityHAA]

he was raped by some man in london when he was 14 :( luckily it didn't fuck him up for life! he's so brave to have made it thru that and now he makes such great music!

[mirddyndumer]

NO WAY!!! This explains many things about him, I can see now. What a sad new! But, anyway, that´s something that is completely unpredictable....I´m happy 4 who´s he now...luv ya Ruf..!

[mirddyndumer]

What´s what he says at the end? I can´t get it!

[inevitabilityHAA]

the kid asks him "hey do you need a manager?" and rufus is like "naah" hehehe

[2007pich]

[rufusdarling]

Rufus Wainwright-and won a genie for it.

[mirddyndumer]

[xclockworkdevotchkax]

I mean, I love the movie and all his songs, I love what it makes me feel and I hope everything will be always like that but I´m sure, totally sure that I will never forget him! Quelle surprise! A question , How old is he in that movie and when was it filmed? Please, answer me!

[SmithDoe]

[coolpopcorn]

OH MY GOD THE MEMORIES ;_;

[UnicornMDX]

Merci infiniment! Quelle belle surprise ce fut! :D

[fromama]

oh man, 14 was not such an awesome time for Roo...gotta love the 'need a manager?' and 'nahh.' from him, like he already knows of his genius. *sigh*

[fromama]

i almost thought this was a joke and...no. all real. and all too amazing. listen to his high voice! and the lipstick, the fashions of the 80's! what is this! many thanks to whoever posted.

[Holden4Banky]

He's looks different, what with the hair and all - but his cute little nose gives him away

[crubecrube]

Ha finalement!

J'aime tellement cette chanson là!

[SmithDoe]

Ouais moi aussi :) J'ai cherché très longtemps le MP3. J'ai eu une très belle surprise en fouillant dans mes vieux VHS :)

[Chrliii]

Horrible clothes, but Rufus was already so good! And so cute!! Can't believe he was 14 though, he looks way younger than that....

[pinkstateomind]

i don t know what to say-bless his cottons!!!!

[originalsin19]

THIS is highly amusing. Who woulda thought?
