Run With Us: Instrumental/House Mix (Raccoons Theme)

Remember a cartoon that aired in the late 80s? Raccoons, aardvarks, pigs and dogs? No?

Neither did I, until I was shown the intro again a few days back. This incredibly well made cartoon originated in Canada, and was the subject of endless repeats on the BBC, here in the UK, throughout the 90s. Which explains why watching it again all these years later sparked such a vivid memory.

It's awesome, really, everything about it.. the music, visual style, characters, all a painful reminder of how crap modern day TV is now (for children especially). I've done a remix of the ending theme, which by itself was a fantastic 80s anthem sung by Lisa Lougheed.

This is my tribute, to a cartoon that in many circles, time simply forgot (it's really only a minor cult hit). Check it out, it's far better than anything I would call "good" children's TV now. I'm really glad other folk have taken an interest in the music too, be sure to check out the other techno remix on here, it's bloody fantastic.

Wow! This is the most chilled out version of 'Run with us' that I've heard! Good job! I have friends who worked on The Raccoons. I will point them in this direction. I'm sure they would love to hear what you've done!

Wonderful. As to your comments about TV for children today, it's almost all TV today that, to me, is akin to a labotomy.

Needs to be a hard trance or dubstep mix to this.
