  • This song was amazing, go Canada!

  • Who said that a canadian chick couldn't rock heh? this would always be a part of my childhood forever! thx 80's to have at least given us some great songs like this one. i only blame your fashion!

  • The Racoons ! ! ! I'm back in the 90's :P

  • I didn't watch this show but I really liked the theme song! Thanks for posting such a good quality video!

  • Why is this not available on itunes? The dance version is but this is a much better version!

  • damn i miss 80's

  • She also did the voice for Lisa Racoon in the animated series.

  • lol 80s style 

  • Awesome thanx 4 video upload mucho respecto!!

  • Cool. Like it so much.

  • Nice to see an 80's video with some actual choreography as opposed to today's dreck with girls in booty shorts waggling their butts in the camera in tune to a misogynist rant. Where did the talent go?

  • I was used to listen a racoons ending french dub of this song when i was a kid. I loved it, but this one (that i've listened for the first time in "hobo with a shotgun"), this is beyond love :D

  • Given the time this was filmed - did anyone else expect the guy from Today's Special to make a dance solo cameo?

  • Back in the 80s, quality music was so plentiful they could even use it as a theme for tv cartoon series.

  • Lisa pretty hot back then, but the fashion of the 80s was a complete disaster. Buy the way, i was born in 1988, so i did not listen this song, i just found out buy the cartoon.

  • 1986, born in the 80s for FTW!

  • I discovered this song from Hobo with a Shotgun... I love this song!!!

  • I've only heard this at the end of the movie HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN, but I gotta check out Lisa Lougheed & the Raccoons nows!

  • "You and me are going on a car ride to Hell . . . and you're riding shotgun."

  • 8 people didn't want to run with us.

  • What an odd thing to find with Google. I think I heard this song just a few times from my big brother's audio cassette when I was a kid. Somehow it got stuck and never forgot the refrain. After many, many years here it is on Youtube.

  • This is wonderful....dont music videos this awesome anymore....

  • Lisa Lougheed was cute!

  • I was born in 81' the 80's = best decade ever

  • Canada rocks.

  • I'm almost embarrassed to say so. But I love this song it's the shit. I grew up to it while I watched the raccoons. One of my favorite childhood shows. One of my favorite childhood song.

  • Brilliant.  How this didn't do better commercially is beyond me.

  • this song plays during end credits of Hobo With A Shogun!!!!!

  • The singer is the voice behind Lisa Raccoon! :D

  • i love the raccoons

  • BEST SONG EVER

  • dam can i be a kid again

  • Loved this song a long time. Always sad I could never get my band to cover it.

    And answer me this exspert type people, what came first, Racoons or Labrynth?

    Why? Check out the video for Underground.

  • This was and is an awesome song!

  • Cool vid, thanks for sharing !!! :))

  • Hey this is pretty good. I agree with these comments here that the 80's was a great and special era. Thank god I was a 80's kid too. =)

  • ok i'm going to build a time machine:) come whit me back to the 80's ;)

  • Great, Great 80's the best i have no more words say how great are the 80's music.

  • Fantastic - pure eighties

  • 8 people would rather walk.

  • Shot in from of a movie theater a block away from the corner of Yonge & Bloor in Toronto.

  • Didn't she also voice a character on the show?

  • Wasn't she the voice of Sophia aswell?...or whatever the female Racoon was called,I can't remember now :)

  • I remember watching the Raccoons on CBC

  • Fantastica esta Canadiesne

  • 8 people don't know good theme tunes if they smacked them in their face awesome song this brings back great memories of the raccoons, this cartoon kicks ass! :D

  • This should be as popular as "Thriller".

  • if 2010 turned into 1982 i would be happy to listen to the great 80's music.

    I love this song.

    PS: I am 14 years old

  • did this do well in the US charts?

  • @jonblazeinc It didn't chart in the U.S. and was only released independently in Canada.

  • brings back ole memorys lmao!

  • god this takes me back , i had forgotten how good this and the raccoon's was!

  • i love 80s music, some great tunes came from that decade, like this

  • 80's golden music decade

  •  fantastic show!!! fantastic song!!!!! i loved the song sinice i was a kid and loved the show

  • Fuck, I love this song. It brings back such great memories of childhood. Not only that, why don't people dance this well in their music videos anymore?

  • Had I known about this video as the little 80s child I was, I'd have learned EVERY step to that dance! (Of course, who's to say I can't still try..? XD) This is amazing!! Thank you sooo much for posting! Definitely one of the greatest themes from one of the greatest cartoons ever!

  • its kind of funny watching this video, because it backs up something Debbie Gibson once said.....that female solo singers of the 80's didnt have to resort to wearing provocative clothing or minimal clothing to make music video's, which Lisa isnt doing here either. Imagine if lady gaga dressed conventional? lol

  • This fills me with an extreme sensation of nostalgia. What a fricking intense song

  • It's like thriller, but better!

  • Great vid, I remember it from the Raccoons

  • What a badass song! It certainly takes me back

  • fantastic god bless youtube and the 80s

  • also on a pending note, this is the only song to make me cry with happiness, no other song can uplift my spirits

  • this is an example of how true music is created, from the heart and with talant, not what we are getting these days, and as a bonus to this all inspiring and enchanting song was the raccoons, was my childhood cartoon and this song still gives me chills of how it made me loving the series from when i first saw it, trully one of my all time favorites.... long live our childhood!!

  • Is no-one enjoying this because it's really naff? No? Just me then . . .

  • R.I.P. Uptown theatre (in the background), so many memories, like seeing Star Trek First Contact with the best theater audience one could ask for, everyone hooting and cheering when the Enterprise E first appeared. Sry if what I said sounds unrelated, just an 80s child (born 1982 woo!!) who misses his favourite movie hangout. Song is awesome too, I remember seeing the music video many many years ago in the 80s and if it weren't for the internet I would probably never see it again. :)

  • thank you thank you - re: a million times i thank you...

    for uploading this onto YouTube!

    i have been wanting to know what she looks like and what the music video is all about!

    :)

  • I wish the CBC still had the raccoons on the air

  • I Heard this Music in 1997 when i was 2 years old

  • It would be cool if someone did an animated video with the characters performing the song with Lisa's character singing lead and Bert playing guitar!

  • This is back when TV Themes MATTERED and where actually songs, and not just some idiot shouting the show's title again and again.

    Aspiring script writers and cartoonists take note: You CAN do things like back in the good old days, and make your themes memorable, and to the quality as actual (non OST) songs! Please do so. :)

  • She's hot.

  • The Raccoons kick ass.

  • what was wrong with the 7 people who didnt like this???? i remember dancing round my living room with my sister to this!

  • Wouldn't the lyrics be better if it was:"Run with us/We have everything you need/Run with us/We have weed"

  • lol, that street scene is shot in Toronto behind the Uptown theatre.

  • Everything about the 80s was magical. Whether is was music, films or cartoons, everything about the 80s ruled. The 21st century has a lot to learn.

  • Wow, now this is what you call nostalgia, I love the music and The Raccoons was a great cartoon, in fact raccoons are my favourite animal. I was born in 1986, only 4 years of the 80's for me, but nether the less it really was an awesome decade, there was tons of great cartoons in this era, pity cartoons are not like these anymore. I'm proud to be an 80's child. =D

  • wicked song bk in the day

  • So thankful I grew up with this stuff.

  • I feel like I'm 5 years old again.

  • she was the voice of Lisa Raccoon!!!!!

  • Man,Lisa Lougheed was hot in this video and just back then in general!

  • Lisa Lougheed was hot and had an awesome voice,but this song being the Raccoons theme song and the one in which is most associated with her might have stigmatized her to the point where she couldn't overcome it.

  • Lisa Lougheed was sure hot then!I never watched The Raccoons on a regular basis,but I do remember hearing this song as its theme before I saw this video.

  • I loved this song in the racoons, but I still say it should've been in an action film.

  • cool

  • What a song.

  • The 80's diddn't come to Canada til 1992

  • OOOOOO, the 80's choreography hehehe.

  • simply wonderful song :)

  • The cartoon clips are from the raccoons and the lost star special.

  • Lisa Lougheed and The Raccoons... = Canada!

  • @pabvision really? Canada equates to Lisa Lougheed and the Racoons?

  • @pabvision the bbc payed for some of it's production.

  • That is a great music video.

  • God! I wish I could've been born in the 80's!

  • @jakethesinister

    Heh, 4 months ago you made this comment. But time is a relevant thing. I grew up in the 80's and remember all the video stuff before the internet took over. I remember watching the "Raccoons" all the time and really enjoyed it and Lisa's music. It makes me wonder what children follow today.

  • @jakethesinister you'd have loved it. nintendo, interesting sounding synths in music, the cereal prizes... aaah gosh i miss it. even if i only remember from 87 and onward (born 84)

  • it was a fantastic show. this song exemplified (extremely) the good nature in the show. Maybe it had a deeper meaning? Damn fine show...it`s still on teletoon retro

  • @scallywag86 Going by the visuals and lyrics you can say its a song about people banding together and refusing to accept captivity of various kinds (despair, social/familial expectations, workaday existence etc).

  • WOW They put sophia in the video?? That's awesome! I love sophia tutu!!!!!!!!!

  • Have loved this song from a kid , always tuned into the racoons and would always sing along to the intro, never knew the artist until now , glad ive rediscovered this song brings back great memories =]

  • @garysm2

    You're not alone Gary. Me and my sister did the same. I only discovered the singer's name through this video. Thanks for the upload 80s dude. Good times.

  • Do you think this song should be on "Guitar Hero" and "Rock Band"?

  • Who was the Sneer looking blonde? I can't find her in the cast list

  • I am an 80's kid and proud of it. Lisa is very attractive and talented.

  • I love it, but does it make anyone else feel sad ??

  • This really was a phenominal song for this period. Classic sound, feel, lyrics. Awesome, pure-faced 80's diva with a clear, golden voice, wild hair and black leather.

    Beautiful, evocative. 5 stars. =)

  • Brilliant song..Thanks for uploading!!

  • i love this song !!!

  • The best cartoon theme song period ;)

  • One of the best songs of the eighites.

  • Lisa Lougheed is so cute in this video.

    Thanks for uploading this video.

  • this may just be the best video of my whole entire life.

  • SHE IS SO HOT OMG

  • great hook and great production

  • i heart the 80s x

  • Man I love this song!

    2 years ago, I was watching an old re-run of The Racoons and heard the ending theme.

    I am 15 and I watched the Racoons for the first time when I was 13. Too bad the channel was replaced by some crappy advertisement channel D;

  • LOVE IT!!

  • excellent song

  • Brilliant brilliant song and lisa is so beautiful definitely going on my favourites list.

  • Amazing song!!!

  • the raccoons were my FAVORITE show growing up.... absolute classic

  • she's hot.

  • nostalgia critical hit.

  • I think most 80's song are about inner emotions and supression thats why it calls to us. I like 80's underground songs like Run with us it gives you hope, either tho its a different world now.

  • love it !!!!!!

  • when did it make the charts

  • sounds like sega genesis

  • Big hair, leather jacket, make-up, 80s look, sexy voice, canadian. yes, she is hot!

  • miss the 80's

  • This is one of my favorite songs, first heard this when I was searching for random clips of raccoons on YouTube, and then I found this song, and from here I learned about the cartoon "The Raccoons" and I have to say the cartoon is now one of my favorites. Everything thats been made now is not like how it used to be back then. I wish I was around in the 80's just to see how good it was.

  • Now all I need is someone to sing it to ;)

  • once again great tune

  • what was the girl's name who looked like the bad guy's daughter but was actual his son's girlfriend?

  • this really is one of the best songs ever. i'm going to do hard rock cover of this soon.

  • Awesome to the MAX!

  • Female vocal of 80's sounds awesome. Some 00's Aguilleras or Spearses is such a shame (i just dont feel anything when they "singing").

  • They do NOT make cartoons and music like this anymore. These were the songs and cartoons that made my childhood.

    OMG! Thank you for putting up this video. I wasn't even aware they had a music video until now. :O

  • Wow. I never knew there was a music video for the song. I remember enjoying this song at the end of every episode of "The Raccoons." What a find! Gawd, I love YouTube!

  • For some reason, this song reminds me of Michael Sembello's "Maniac"!

  • AMAZING!!!! i didn't realize Lisa Lougheed sang this song! LOVE IT!

  • The best theme song, ever.

    A guilty pleasure.

  • Hard to believe someone so stunning was a voice actress.

    I guess she paved the way for stunners like Lacey Chabert.

    What ever happened to Lisa Lougheed? I know she got married and had a son, but what does she do in terms of work or other things?

  • if you are sinking in quick sand and it´s driving you down and you feel you're going under we' ll be round ... THANK YOU LISA as if you read my thoughts. when i was a kid i saw all the racoon cartoons, so great...

  • best time to grow up was in the 80s best cartoons best videogames and best toys miss them days x

  • the best

  • lisen to stuff in the year 2000

  • Wow, I didnt know it actually was a track, I just thought it was a theme tune for a kids programme :D

  • The 1980s drum effect is very nice haha

  • yesss a real 80's gem of a video and song

  • BEST. SONG. EVER.

  • Just like that i'm five years old again!

  • Classic stuff. God I miss all the good old shows. Am an 80's child myself. Wish we had Teletoon over here.

  • @durandal87

    It's a shame I cannot like this comment a hundred times.

  • It's amazing that I actually forgot about this song for so long when I loved it so much as a kid. =D

  • I'm sorry to say I completely missed it as a kid, but I'm sure glad to have discovered it here!

  • Is that Aldo Nova playing the guitar? ^_^

  • Let's face it: Lisa Lougheed rox. If all of the dumb-ass

    rickrolls in the world were replaced with Lisa Lougheed's

    "Run with us", it would be THE HALLMARK ACHIEVEMENT

    of the human race. I am not joking.

    Lisa rOx! LiSa roX! LisA rox! LIsA RoX! Woof woof woof!

  • I think this offical music video "Run of us" is very good. Lisa Loughedd is very good singer and good friend.

  • ♥♥♥ THE RACCOONS ♥♥♥

  • Super - Song

  • The Eighties.

    How can awesome and aweful be so intertwined?

  • Confirmed - Lisa Loughheed is 80s hot.

  • bloody hell its like a deleted scene from fame lol

    awesome song tho i love the raccoons

  • nice dude nice :D

  • Great song, decent video...how does the dancing have anything to do with A) the song or B) the show?

  • How many music videos have you seen that actually have anything to do with what the songs are about or what show/movie they're from?
