As a kid who was bullied, had a hard time making friends, and found it hard to trust, I remember having a recording of this outdo from the raccoons and playing it over and over, absorbing the lyrics. I’m 37 now, married, and have some wonderful friends, but this song makes me wish I could let that kid know it’s going to be okay. Things will hurt, things will heal, things are better than you could believe that can be.
In all my 34 years, this is one of the best things i have ever seen and heard. Thank you guys so much, I cant express how much it means to me. Good memories, the best memoires.
Wow! This song brings back memories. I haven't seen 'The Raccoons' since I was a kid. I forgot what a great song that was. Hearing it performed by The Cybertronic Spree has heightened it to a deep, social anthem.
This is Cybertron: quiet, peaceful, serene. That, is, until, Burt, Racoon wakes, up. Good work. My fav part was noticing Spike's costume; pretty complex!
I am so glad to see that you guys are still rocking out. I may never get the chance to see you in person but you are definitely on my very short list of bands that I would break my no concerts rule for
A proud Canadian that watched this show as a kid and this song hit me with a tonne of bricks. I wanted to run with them in the Evergreen forest. Then to have heard it years later at the freaking ending of hobo was such an amazing tilt of the hat to that special show mentioned before made me lose my mind.It instilled that same feeling I had many moons ago. Thank you for doing this song guys. Im in my mid 30's from Alberta im in tears!!!
I was watching this as a proud American as a kid on the Disney Channel and never knew anyone else knew the song other than me.....and I saw them this year at Dragoncon and they did this song and I was cheering and singing along as I would if I was still that kid in the 80's :)
@zero boy oh gosh that was such a great show and a great song for it as well. I'm actually speaking about a Canadian film called "Hobo with a shotgun" if you haven't watched it you definitely should check it out if grindhouse style films
She didn't, actually, but her cover is the best known. :) It was written by Kevin Gillis, Jon Stroll, and Steve Lunt (did the original recording). ua-cam.com/video/qFV9rYMT9qs/v-deo.html
I can't believe I just watched some of my favorite 80's characters sing one of my favorite 80's songs. Sometimes everything's all right with the world.
You Guys are GREAT! We had a lot of fun writing this song and wanted to thank you for your cool performance!! Keep doing your great shows! Thanks! Kevin 🎶🎶
I never watched Transformers, but I am absolutely hooked your music!! And I don't know why, but I love it when Arcee jumps up an down on "C-C-C come with us". Y'all rock!!!!
Finally someone, other than myself and my wife who think the theme song to this classic TV deserves better airing and in no better way by another iconic Animated TV show group, who meld the old with the old with the foam and the new. Amazing and quite brilliant.
This goes to show that Autobots and Decepticons (and 1 construction worker) can put aside millions of years of warfare to come together and sing the greatest live version of the greatest ever kids TV show theme song. The power of music!
@@TheCybertronicSpree Agreed and thank you! I can only hope that live shows happen sooner rather than later, and that when they do I get to see them, and hopefully build them as well.
I have no clue how exactly this video ended up in my UA-cam feed, but I was just working on some reports, and only half-listening, but the instant that base line started, my Canadian senses started tingling. There was a momentary mental hiccup when I first saw the band, as I did not expect to see a Transformers-themed band, performing Run With Us, and at the Bloor St. Theater no less! I went down quite the rabbit hole as a result of this video, and I'm glad I managed to snag one of their Transformers 1986 albums before they went out of stock...I missed the vinyl release sadly. Needless to say, they earned themselves a new fan, and I look forward to seeing them live...when things get back to "normal" at least.
I just happened to look up the raccoons to relive a bit of my childhood and found another bit was performing it. at first i as like... what? but Arcee killed it!
Holy moly you're all amazing. I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to hear you folks perform this. I'm floored. Thank you for making my life a lot more magical.
@@TheCybertronicSpree Whenever I'm feeling down and lonely I run with you. Thanks again for giving me this. I hope you all have so much love and kindness in your lives.
So, on a whim I decide to do a search for "Nothing's Gonna Stand in our Way", then I find what has to be one of the greatest covers of all time to the point that it stands on its own. And now I find out you cover this song on top of all that. I hope you designed those amazing suits with the ability to take a bow, and if you can't, I'd get on that.
For a long time I suffered from depression and it was this one song from this one performance that made me see I wasn't alone and that eventually brought me back ro life. I'll be forever thankful to you for that. Keep rocking!
Loved the raccoons as a kid growing up. To listen this band playing the theme song, is making me have a teary-eyed moment😥. All the Nostalgia from my childhood is racing back at warp speeds. Man i miss those days.😭
Also Ulysses 31! Hopefully I'll get to see Cybertronic Spree this year in Philly but THESE guys really need to come up from South America for a North American tour! ua-cam.com/video/9iBwDOBouBo/v-deo.html
Had a rough day at work, but this was stuck in my head and helped me get through it. Seriously thank you, you have no idea how far your passion and music reaches people. Thank you.

How did Raccoons of all cartoons end up with one of the best songs in a Western animated cartoon?
It was also a single, though I'm not sure if the single was before or after the cartoon (I think after, but I'm not sure)
It was Canadian. 😋
The singer (Lisa Lougheed) did one of the voices on the cartoon (Lisa Raccoon).
Magic of the 1980s.
its quite funny as there are a few cartoons that had some banger songs
I can't be the only one who watches this everyday.
Not everyday, but weekly for sure! Put this on while your running on the treadmill for an extra boost! CS4LIFE.
I watch it about two or three times a week.
I will now.
a truly magical track. they are going to be really big and successful.
nope....this and dare
Oh look, it’s a few of the best parts of my childhood all crammed together
Unicron is known as the destroyer of planets, but in his spare time, he is the destroyer of guitar solos
I just watched this and I was thinking to myself "of course they would have mfkn Unicron tearing up the power ballad" xD
Rocking an 8-string with gloves is pretty impressive.
Groupe fantastique que l on écoute avec plaisir tout est super merci ❤❤❤❤
WOW! I never thought I'd see the day when a Transformers themed band would do a cover of the Raccoons theme song but here it is, it is great!
TOO FREAKING GREAT!!!

Was there ever a racoon transformer?
Somewhere in 1986 young me raised his head, sensing that one day he would see something awesome.
That day has arrived. :)
:'-)
Epic. 10/10 scrying.
Imagine if we saw this 30 years ago...
@@deesnutz4638 😱😱😱👏👏👏👍👍👍
DAMN! That would have been awesome.
In 1986 you already saw something awesome. The Transformers movie superior Michael Bay inferior.
Still pulls at the heart strings years later, rock on!
Saw them yesterday night - they all look identical, it's crazy this video is from 9 years ago.
They're robots, they don't age 🤖🤖🤖
So beautiful i'm crying
Her voice is just perfect!
They are all great.
The feels...the feels...as an 80's kid this is awesome!
2:24 - Unicron: God of Chaos, Destroyer of Worlds, Shredder of Guitars.
And how big must that guitar be?!?
originaluddite continental divide wide
I just thought of something. Who would win in a fight Unicron or Galactus?
Jayfive276 😂
“For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little convention hall. But now you shall witness...its DISMEMBERMENT!”
Not every band has Soundwave as a hype-man working the crowd. This is fantastic, by the way.
Or a crowd that contains Captain America, cheering on the theme of a Canadian show!
"Soundwave superior, humans inferior" - Soundwave... Probably
It's surprising just how few bands have Soundwave as a hype-man.
Who says Soundwave is unchrasimatic?
@@Nsinger998 How sez u cn spel?
This is absolutely 100% Arcee's range right here. Perfectly suited to her voice.
This is more 80s than the entirety of the 1980s and I'm loving every nostalgic second of it
You go Unicron. Your solos light our darkest hour.
"RUN WITH US!"
"WE GOT EVERYTHING YOU NEED!"
"RUN WITH US!"
"WE ARE FREE!"...
...
Beautiful chorus.
GREAT Song.
In all my 34 years, this is one of the best things i have ever seen and heard. Thank you guys so much, I cant express how much it means to me. Good memories, the best memoires.
I agree... It's so awesome....
This cover put a smile to my face. I love the Raccoons theme and this band has a great stage presence and charisma. Plus the pink robot's hot.
U mean arcee
sadly, yes, pink robot is hot
@@brucebaxter6923 Arcee's hotter than a plasma fire
I’m glad they covered this awesome Canadian song from the equally awesome Canadian cartoon! Long live Lisa Lougheed and The Racoons!
four months later this still brings tears to me eyes
What a great singer!!!!

Whenever i felt down in life, I'd listen to this song a bunch of others from the 80s. My feel good music
Amen fam
Why can’t I get her on my iTunes or Amazon?
I had no idea just how much I needed this in my life.
It might be slightly redundant saying this to a bunch of transformers, but: you guys are METAL!
Man. I keep coming back to this cover every few months and fall in love with it all over again! Absolutely phenomenal!
Just when I thought I saw it all!!! Best song ever!!!
Watching and listening to this has made me 24 years younger, thank you and keep it up.
you too, huh?
Despite being 2015, this is the single most 80s thing I've heard in forever. and it's awesome
+anachrotech \m/
Anachrotech probably because it's a cover of an 80s song.
Check out the new Retro/ Synthwave music coming out. Look up GUNSHIP music and The Midnight to get started. 80's is new again.
I can't believe I just watched some of my favorite 80's characters sing one of my favorite 80's songs. Sometimes everything's all right with the world.

@@Nexus7evenThank you, Sir - much appreciated!
just discovered this now. Nice job from 2015.
LOVE IT!!! Cybertronic Spree is my new favourite band!! 🥰🤩😁
Damn this goes hard
I just... I can't stop watching this video!
glad you like it \m/
What a concept: Bringing Transformers and Raccoons together.
80s cartoon had some incredible music, just another brilliant example.
@@ursula662 Anyone remember The Dreamstone?
I’m loving every moment of this one…
Unicron on bass. I didnt expect this on a Saturday morning. These guys kill it
I come back to this video si often. More so than the original.
You lot look like you're having so much fun. X
This song was one of my favorites as a kid, and not just when compared to other TV themes. Thanks for this.
I never watched Transformers, but I am absolutely hooked your music!! And I don't know why, but I love it when Arcee jumps up an down on "C-C-C come with us". Y'all rock!!!!

You guys knocked it out of the park with this. I remember watching the Raccoons and this song always made me so happy.
My wife was just amazed when I told her this was The Racoons after we'd been rocking out to it. Utterly amazing version! PLEASE come to the UK!
singer nailed it!
I don't even like Transformers but I acknowledge that this band has the coolest concept for a live show that has ever been conceived by mankind.
TheCleverArachnid is
Thank you for posting that, sir. You've shown it is possible to not like something and still respect it. Sweet.
well it's tied with gwar for me.
Gwar already exists:
Slipknot, Gwar, Lordi, decades before that Kiss.
This gets my vote for best thing i've seen on the internet this year!
+Wes \m/
Some Kind of Perfect.
best cover/version ever!!! can't stop replaying!
This is honestly the greatest cover band I ever listened to! You guys rock!
The Transformers, playing Run With Us, from the Racoons.... is the fucking greatest things I’ve ever seen.
this is the best live performing band in the world💗💗💗💗💗💗
This goes to show that Autobots and Decepticons (and 1 construction worker) can put aside millions of years of warfare to come together and sing the greatest live version of the greatest ever kids TV show theme song. The power of music!
The construction worker would be Spike Witwicky.
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen and i can't stop crying
Possibly one of the finest treadmill tunes ever!
best tv show exit theme ever
andrew turvill Correct.
I've never heard of the Raccoons show or Cybertronic Spree before coming across this video, but damn, this rocks.
There is no singular thing I missed most due to covid than seeing you live
We can't wait until live shows are a thing again!! Stay safe and rock on \m/
@@TheCybertronicSpree Agreed and thank you! I can only hope that live shows happen sooner rather than later, and that when they do I get to see them, and hopefully build them as well.

The band we need in 2021, comin' at us from 2015. I'm stunned and shocked, how this page doesn't have 10M subs. Criminally underrated talent!!
How the hell did I JUST discover you guys??? Awesome cover... Arcee, your voice gives me chills in the best way possible!
SAME HERE OMG
You say that but I 2years behind you lol 😂 these guys done great
I just happened to look up the raccoons to relive a bit of my childhood and found another bit was performing it. at first i as like... what? but Arcee killed it!
This might be the single greatest thing I have ever seen!
Septimus *loved* this performance & I even caught the Indifference Engine himself, Geminai, casually bobbing his head towards the end.
This chick has a great voice. i dont know how i found these guys.ill keep listening for her....immigrant song was sweet ....nj
Not only the voice she looks sexy like the cartoon too.
The lead robot has great pipes and extra-kudos for the guitarist playing a 7-string guitar with robot ... gloves ... I mean hands. You guys ROCK!
Holy moly you're all amazing. I feel like I've been waiting my whole life to hear you folks perform this. I'm floored. Thank you for making my life a lot more magical.

You guys should cover the theme tune to 'Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors' that would be frickin awesome....
YES... I agree!!! I'd like this band to take a shot at the, "Jayce & The Wheeled Warriors", theme.

There were so, so many great theme tunes in 80s cartoons.
I got chills, the best kind of chills....80s retro chills!!!!!!
i had no idea this was the theme of an 80's cartoon, this cover slaps so hard i genuinely thought it was originally a cool rock song
Yeah, I didn't either.
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.
Hits me in my soul. Western New York to the core. Love the border stuff.
Had a rough day at work, but this was stuck in my head and helped me get through it. Seriously thank you, you have no idea how far your passion and music reaches people. Thank you.

The Racoons didn't get enough love. Cyril Sneer's fault, I'm sure.
Keep up the great work!
Your guys band is number 1# of how awesome and mind blowing you're band is ~ i heart you Arcee and Hot Rod all the way
Thanks!
Didn't know I wanted this till I saw it.
I lost track of how many times I kept coming back to this video in the last few days.
It was . . . a lot.
I'm on my 5th watch in a row. How the F*Ck does this sound SOOOO EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! This sounds like a rock classic!
This has to be the greatest disparity between the talent on the stage and the size of the audience - I've ever seen...
i think i like this version better then the original, it has more of a rock vibe. that thumping bass and crashing drums just give it a nice groove
How much I love this I can not say lol this made me young at heart again xx
I just came across you guys today. Never heard of you till today. UA-cam recommend. I am grateful to them that they did!!! Sweet!!!
Holy shit you guys are amazing, instant fan. I MUST SEE YOU LIVE!
