"Run, Candace, Run" is the title song of the Season 3 episode "Run, Candace, Run". It is sung as Candace runs back and forth from the Johnson Family Picnic and the library while wearing unstable prototype running shoes built by Phineas and Ferb causing her to run at uncontrollably at superhuman speeds. Before Candace destroys the Johnson Family Picnic, one of the verses of the song plays very quickly. The middle part of the song is repeated again late in the episode.
Lyrics[]
Danny and LC: Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Faster, faster!
(Verse repeats 3x)
Danny: Come on girl, gotta move, gotta run.
Gotta feel the road burning
From the heat of the sun.
On your feet as you flow
Through the streets, down the hills,
Passing dogs, passing cars,
Passing old rock stars.
LC: You can feel all the power
Of the earth as you ride.
As it pulls, as it pushes,
Up and down, side to side.
You can show they can see
There's the proof on your feet.
You're a blur in the air,
You've got style, you've got flair.
(Candace runs past a random bystander in slow-motion.)
Danny and LC: Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
Run, Candace, run!
(Run, Candace, run!)
Faster, faster!
LC: You're light on your feet,
You're almost home free.
Danny and LC: Nothing can stop you
Look out for that tree!
Background information[]
- The line “Passing old rock stars” was initially supposed to “Passing men with cigars”. It was likely changed due to the show’s audience being mainly composed of young children.
- This song is heard in the Robot Riot! game on levels 2 and 8 as well as on the Patagonia level of Hoverboard World Tour.
Errors[]
- After Candace destroyed the tent in the picnic, her skirt is red instead of white.
Allusions[]
- Run Lola Run - The format of the song parodies Lola Rennt from the film Run Lola Run, as well as parodying the phrase Run Forrest Run from the movie Forrest Gump.
- George of the Jungle - The last line, "Look out for that tree", is from the show’s theme song.
