The Road Runner Show is an American Sat morning animated anthology series which compiled theatrical Wile E.

Background [edit]

From 1966 to 1968, The Road Runner Prove initially ran for ii seasons on CBS.^{[3] [4]} From 1968 to 1969, CBS combined The Route Runner Show with The Bugs Bunny Show to produce The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour. The Route Runner and the Coyote more than often shared at to the lowest degree an 60 minutes with Bugs Bunny on CBS.^[5] In 1971, ABC picked up The Route Runner Evidence and ran for 2 seasons until 1973, when the network dropped the show due to its excessively aggressive scenes. After on, CBS re-acquired the show and aired them every bit reruns nether The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour until the mid-80s.^[6]

Each show would feature one Road Runner/Coyote cartoon, with a Tweety and Sylvester cartoon in the middle segment, and other WB animated grapheme(s) in the third segment (usually Elmer Fudd, Foghorn Leghorn, Speedy Gonzales, Pepé Le Pew and Hippety Hopper). The intro of every drawing was replaced with a simple championship card, along with the shortened version of William Lava'south arrangement of The Merry-Go-Round Broke Downward.

Theme song [edit]

The theme vocal was written and performed by Barbara Cameron. In 1999, information technology was covered past the Mexican band Chicos de Barrio and was later on parodied in Histeria! featuring Father Time and Big Fat Baby. It has likewise been covered by Barenaked Ladies, and Barbara Cameron re-recorded the theme with her son, Jazz violinist Doug Cameron (with Paul Julian's iconic Beep-Beep and other audio effects from the shorts used on the recording) for his Dissimilar Hats album in 2008. An instrumental version was used as the theme song for the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote segments of The Looney Tunes Show.

Theme Song Lyrics [edit]

• "If you're on a highway and Road Runner goes 'beep-beep',
• Only step aside or you might end upward in a heap,
• Road Runner, Route Runner, runs on the route all day,
• Even the (Wily E) Coyote can't arrive his mode.

• • Road Runner! The Coyote's after you!
  • Road Runner! If he catches y'all, you're through!
  • Road Runner! The Coyote's after you!
  • Road Runner! If he catches you, you're through!

• That Coyote actually is a crazy clown,
• When will he learn that he'll never get to mow him (the Road Runner) down?
• Poor fiddling Roadrunner never bothered anyone,
• But running along the roads is his idea of having fun.

• • Route Runner! The Coyote'due south after yous!
  • Route Runner! If he catches y'all, you're through!
  • Road Runner! The Coyote'southward after y'all!
  • Route Runner! If he catches you, you're through!"^[7]
