"Run With Us" is the theme song for the 1980s TV show The Raccoons. The song was originally recorded by Steve Lunt for the first season but was later covered by and is more associated with Lisa Lougheed and included on her first album Evergreen Nights, as well as being heard at the end of every Raccoons episode from the second season until the show ended in 1991.
In 2006, "Run With Us" was covered by English band Spray. The song was also praised on an episode of Channel Four's Three Minute Wonder, broadcast on September 9, 2009.
In 2011, "Run With Us" was included in the closing credits of Canadian filmmaker Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun. Starring Dutch cult favourite Rutger Hauer, and based on the 2007 mock trailer of the same name, the film pays tribute to many of the films and songs of the 1980s which Eisener grew up on.[1]
The song was also covered by alternative rock band The Morning After.
