Memories

I was sixteen when this was released, A friend and I were obsessed with the bullfrogs 'bom-bom'bom' part and for weeks we would erupt in gales of laughter imitating them. Occasionally we'd sing the whole song through no matter where we were. Got some very pained glances from people several times as the song was being played everywhere and reaching that point where it's just too much of a good thing. British people do seem to love anthropomorphic animals quite a lot. Every so often now the song comes into my head and I find myself singing the bullfrog part as I'm waiting for the kettle to boil. Always makes me smile. My dog thinks I've lost my mind, but he's never heard the song. Maybe it's time I educate him ...

My parents had this recorded on a beta tape and I almost wore it out when I was a kid. Truly one of my absolute favorites in addition to "give my regards to broad street".

When my son was on the way I would sing this to him every night and now that he's here I sing it to him before we go to bed. For now I just use the words go to sleep but eventually I will introduce him to the animated film and hopefully he will love it as much as I did.

"Rupert" joined our household in 1984. I'd watch the film with my son Matthew, then one year old, sitting on the sofa and I'd sing along, making him laugh and me, laughing back and hugging him. He's now 37 and I'm....hmm. With the re-release, I think it's time we all sit together and relive those happily warm memories. Thank you, Paul, for helping to teach me how to be a dad.

Me dad bought my siblings and I the Rupert And The Frog Songs VHS back in 1989, and I absolutely fell in love with the video and can't remember how many times I've played it. Till this day when I see frogs, I get the urge to sing We All Stand Together!! This film, in me eyes, is a true classic and I recommend for all to show their children and grandchildren.

Oh my gosh there's must be thousands of frogs in Rupert & The Frog Song. I just can't count them all.

My Year One class are performing this tomorrow in their assembly. Its going to be brilliant!

Wow i love it! Gosh i felt like a kid again singing along to the video!! Great work guys enjoyed your site loads!

Rupert is so so so so so so so so so cute, good, beautiful, nice and lovely. We all stand together!

I was only 4 or 5 when i saw Rupert and the frog song for the first time and till today it's always on my mind. the frogs jumping and singing... how about the noisy fish or sing-a-long cats? you know, i have a parrot and this is his favorite song. everytime he hears it he starts to dance up and down just like the frogs and he also sings it. it's very funny!

I Remember Wathing This Film With My Grandad And My Brothert And We Would Watch It Over And Over Again, I Still Have The Video To This Day And Still Watch It, It Brings Back Great Memories Of My Grumpy Grandad x x x

We incorporated the song into a rendition of Silent Night. The two men sang 'Bom, bom, bom,' two girls sang 'byieeya' and two sang 'Silent night'. So it went 'bom,bom,bom. byieeya, bom, bom,bom, byieeya,Silent Night, byieeya, holy night, byieeya...' With boms in the background. It worked. Okay, we got booed.

This song reminds me of being 6 years old and full of the magic and wonder that Christmas as a child brings. I can't believe there is a whole website for this song!! Love it.

It's a beautifully positive song

I'm only 14 now but evry year i listen to this at Christmas eve its an amazing song i listen to it whilst drinking a nice warm hot chocolate with wippycream and sprinkles

I love the frog's chorus

I remember this song from my childhood, and now sing it to my three month old daughter, she loves it and it always settles her, still great after all these years!

I loved the 2 song on the video. They were awesome!

This is the best movie of the world, I watched the movie when I was a little girl and now I just watch the movie again and I fell like a child. Linda was a wonderful woman and I hope that she stand on a beautiful place. Thank you for that movie and if you can Paul bring it to the big screen.

My favourite character from Rupert is badger. I watched him over and over again. I used to always sing the theme song of Rupert and the Frog Song, but sometimes i forget the words...so I just hummed them otherwise.

My little boy used to love his video of the frog song he used to sit in front of the TV and watch it over and over again. He's now 25.

I think this was the first video I ever got and I still have it in the original cardboard box. It has me and my sister's name, in crayon, on the inside, just like the welcome page for the site. Still love this film. The Linda McCartney short scared me for quite a while, but love Seaside Woman. A new advert on tv reminded me of how wonderful this film is. I'm so going to find it on DVD now.

I had just started going to uni when the Frog Song was released but I've always been a kid at heart.

It was a time when my brother and I had our first tastes of adult freedom - as I was off to the 'Big Smoke' and my brother had moved out into his first 'flat', a lovely old two bedroom Victorian terrace overlooking the main road in our hometown. When I was home from uni I stayed with him at his flat rather than at Mum's. We had video parties there and watched late night music video shows. All us kids were long term Beatles and McCartney fans. That's when we fell in love with The Frog Song.

Sadly my lovely brother got leukaemia 4 1/2 years ago and died in January of a chest infection. With the family all gathered around the table planning his loving farewell, our other brother suggested this song because it was a favourite. It was too hard for me to listen to then, but I often sing it now as the words have come to hold an added meaning for me.

And coincidently my lovely brother's nickname was always 'Fred' - our mum always calling him 'Fred Frog'.

My aunt gave me a picture record with Rupert and Paul McCartney on it. It was one of my favorite records as a child and I still have it today.

I have wonderful memories of us all watching it at my childminder's house.

Mary below - I'm so pleased to learn that someone else remembers the beach song on the video! I wondered if perhaps my childminder had taped it, and that the scene was something that just happened to be on tv at the time...

If anyone happens to know anything about it, I'd love to know!

Hi i remember when my mum & dad used to play the frog song for me as i was going to sleep, and my dad used to recored the cartoons off the tv and i used to make my uncle watch them with me for hours at a time.

And now i have collected all the annuals and i have all the little rupert bear library and i have a talking rupert bear that has human hands
i LOVE rupert bear and i'm getting a tattoo of rupert and podgy lol.

they should never of animated him,
thanks Ellen

The song was very good and it was the best song i heard for kids...

I knew Rupert from the Nelvana series here in America growing up but when I met my husband from the Isle of Man, he went on and on about this frog song I'd never heard of. Several ebay searches later, we got a VHS copy of it and had it converted. I can tell it was a huge part of his growing up and it has certainly grown on me as well.

I have grown up with Rupert. My late mum had brought the annuals each year and i promise her the night before she died that i would continue to get the annals each year. i have kept the promise and continue to do so.

Sang this at a recent karaoke night - I was amazing!!!!

Oh my goodness! I had no idea it was out on dvd, fantastic. I played it so much when I was little eventually it wore out!

I always remember being slightly scared by 'The Oriental Nightfish' video!

Good times!

Hello everyone, I'm from Mexico City and when I was a kid I used to watch the video clip of the song when our local kids channel ( Channel 5 ) started or ended transmissions during the 80's, I LOVED this song along with my family and now that I'm 31 It brings me back memories when I was a Kid, Beautiful!

The X-factor final, an indian takeaway and many beverages later... sing star showed us the way forward, not only myself but mole, liz and kirsten too... WE ALL STAND TOGETHER!!!

Shopping and finding the video then getting home and watching it. I love the video and always sing along.

This was even played in Mexico back in 1984 !
I was only 3 and they transmitted the clip just before a children program. I dunno why I thought on searching it and found this site. I got goosebumps all over just by hearing it again. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood.

My brother and I used to watch this ALL THE TIME when we were kids. We thought the 3 big frogs singing "bom, bom, bom" were so funny! For years I had this song in my head and no one knew what I was referencing when I asked if they had seen it as a kid too. Now, I finally know my brother and I were not alone in loving the frog song so much! It is one of my favorties from childhood.

In 1986 I 8yrs old and remember so clearly the frogs and rupert. 22 years on from this now and myself and my fiance were talking about it last night and he text me this morning to let me know it was on 2fm. My favourite Christmas song. Takes me back to my childhood. x x x

My husband bought this for me the year after my daughter was born. Played the song so many times that we almost wore the tape out. Sadly it's no longer watchable. Very fond memories.

Don't no where 2 start bout rupert n the frogs, my childhood song, i still got my original VHS & signed from 24 years ago! Im 30 now & me & my family love it.

I remember this was one of the first cartoons I saw- my brother and I used to watch the video of it over and over. And as an adult I still enjoy it so much.

The frog song reminds me of my nan and grandad they used to let me watch it only if I was a good girl. I loved singing along to it. xx

I loved this film as a small child and am going to buy the DVD for my beautiful goddaughter and my little cousin! They don't make kids films like this anymore.. such a shame..

Someone earlier said they couldn't find their odd shaped picture disc of the song......well i can as i made it into a clock and it hangs on the wall directly in front of me as i write this!
The multi image side is the face of said clock. As my kids have grown it has spent time in all of their rooms along with other pieces of Rupert memorabilia.

And no, i wouldn't part with it on any account...along with the Annuals it remains very precious to me....even if i am 50!!!!

I loved this film when i was growing up in the 80s, just listening the song reminds me of being a child, it is a fantastic film which i had forgotten all about.

Great great memories of this song - Christmas as a child in England...playing in the snow, mince pies and simpler times. It's hard not to get melancholy at Christmas

When I was young in 1990, I listened to an album called Rupert the bear, in this moment I was very happy for the melodys and lyrics that was entering in my ears was the more beautiful experience since I was a simple boy, thanks for the children music, thanks PAUL...

My son was born on the 12th on january 2008, had to stay in hopital for 6weeks due to brain damage. he suffered a mild case of ceribal polsey. every night, i would dance to the frog song, while getting him to sleep. he sadly passed away on the friday 13th of june 2008. every time i play this song i see him. i miss & love him dearly. mammy loves you lincoln, lost without you. xx xx

I remember Christmas as a child and this was on Top of the Pops. If every I think of this short film it reminds me of that time...MAGICAL!

This is a song that was used to hold my mum my sister and me together after a run of bad luck whilst i was a child and is still used to keep us together.

Some good and Bad Memories But very Special.

I used to watch this on repeat with my sister and step brother Michael, i'll always remember this song, it makes me tingle inside and takes me back to feeling like a child.

I got to know this song because of Paul McCartney.

Now, I just love Rupert and the frogs!

I remember watching this on Saturday Superstore and still have it on VHS when the closing credits come on with the balloons. My Mum used to call for me every time it was on and I'd sit transfixed in front of the screen. I was nine and my friends and I used to sing it in the school yard. I have a huge nostalgic lump in my throat now. This is a great site - well done! x

I loved this cartoon as a child! It was so beautiful and the way that it was animated was so great! I remember having tears in my eyes when the song came on and my family did too! We also had the ladybird book and record too I remember! The intro with Paul going into the attic is a vivid memory for me and getting the book out of that treasure chest!

I was a child in the 80's and absolutely loved this song! I remember watching it on Top Of The Pops and singing and swaying along! If it was released in 1984, it means I was just 5 yrs old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. I still love listening to the song, not only because it is positive and uplifting, but it brings back some great memories.

For all you frog song fans out there, you can now buy it on iTunes! (We can in the UK anyway).

We had this recorded off the Disney channel on a BETA tape when I was a kid. I watched it until the tape grew old and the machine itself broke. I miss rupert and the frog song! Good to know that its still around to show my kids eventually!

After looking at the site, I now can't get out of my head "bom bom bom". He-he!

I heard this for the first time in years yesterday on my boss's laptop! Immediately, I recalled fond memories of a warm summer's night listening to this on my friend's record player. We must have played it 10 times that night, each taking turns singing the lyrics! 🙂

Top song!!

This cartoon is REALLY sweet. Love it!

Rupert and the frog song is one of my beloved memories from my younger years. What a great song and superb video. I can still get people to sing along to it with me now 🙂

I always loved the noise of his shoes on the cave floor :o) !!!!!!!! And what on earth was that Oriental Nightfish thing about at the end, LOL!

I first saw this short film when I was an infant. After 16 years I saw it again and I love the music, animation, and We All Stand Together because it is so uplifting, the message of the song is beautiful and it can make you happy. It's one of my most favorite songs I heard and Rupert is one of my favorite short animated films. Paul does a great job playing Rupert and I think that is very cool. Thanks Rupert and Paul for this short film and for the beautiful uplifting music.

We were just talking about childhood memories, when my brother started singing the " frog song" so i had to find it! we used to have a rupert bear video and it was always are favourite part! listening to it brought back some wonderful forgotten childhood memories!

During the local music quiz, discovered that myself and the next door neighbour both love the frog chorus. the song was panned by critics at the time of it's release- but what do they know. i personally think it's a christmassy song and would enhance many a compilation. to that end i burned a christmas compilation including the frog chorus - worked a treat.

I always loved the Frog Song, so what a delight when my husband mentioned that he loved it too!! Now we just have to find the video to download it and show it to our little girl.

I was on cruise ship and part of one of the shows was to include the children from the kids club. we rehearsed for 2 days and we sang the frog chorus on board. It was great fun to do. no my family wont ever forget it as it is brought up nearly every christmas!!!

I had a dream about the frog song last night and when I came into work today I could only find one other person who remembered it!!

So with the help of this wonderful website I have been educating my department!

I was just 4 years old and I went to the shops with my mome. My nan was also with me and she asked if I knew rupert and I said no. My mom bought the cassette and the little red book,when they played it for me it sounded like magic. I am 25 now and I have only seen the movie 1 time. And I have 2 little girls of my own now and want to let them feel the magic to. lots of love from a frog lover from Holland

I remember it was 1986, It was a Xmas night at an hotel beach with a lot of nature around us, there were my parents, cousins, grandparents and brother, he called me to hurry up and watch this, I was 6 years old and it was amazing, great memories!!

Congratulations Matt on a wonderful website, packed with interesting information. I remember watching our family copy of the video many times with my sister as a child, and it's obvious you were a big fan of it too. Well done!

I just loved this song and video. Me and my two sister used to dance around the sitting room to it, oh what innocence! Thanks for making the website

My sons gave me the video as a Xmas gift.I treasure it to this day.I love the frogs singing.

Last night I watched the dvd of Rupert and the Frog song, it was 23 years ago and brought back beautiful memories from my childhood 🙂

I love the frogs!!!

I've not heard this song since I was about 4 years old, and for some reason it just randomly popped into my head this evening!

I'm glad I found this site because I needed to hear it again after all these years (I'm 26 now) and it definitely brought a tear to my eye as I remember me and my older brother always going around singing it!

I love this song and asked my mum to buy the record for me, bring it back.

I first saw this short film when I was an infant.

1984 was a difficult time in my life as I was growing up. The frog song got me through some troubled times. I'll never forget the frogs

Thanks Paul!!! You're the greatest musician in the world. Your music has helped me in very difficult situations. Thanks for your music!!!

I LOVE rupert. He's sooooo cute. I have a soft toy i've had since i was 2 - nearly 10 years ago!!!

This lovely song brings tears into my eyes. I'm gobsmacked to find this song on here.

Thank you Paul for this remarkable song. xx

After not seeing it for years I have always remembered the magic of the music in my memory, especially the video for it. A magnificent piece of work, a credit to those who wrote and produced it. This music should be given to all children along, packed together with their toys...

I remember hearing this when i was very young in Happy Mount Park, Morecambe, Lancashire. Every year they always had displays with many shows, including Duckula and the Flintstones. We had to explore a bit to see the Frog Song, but it was worth it. I have loved it since that moment, and will forever

Always loved it, always will.

We had this song on 7inch vinyl when i was younger it brings back lots of happy child hood memories 🙂

My cousin Caroline was dressed as Rupert for the video and did all the acrobatics... we loved it still do x

I remember watching this delightful video when I was a young girl. It was made a few years before I was born and I'm not too sure as to how my sister and I ended up with this movie. We would watch it together hours on end, sometimes too much. I'd bug her by playing the frog song over and over and over again until we pretty much wore the tape out. It was only until this afternoon I had forgotten about it and I'm not sure what made me remember it. What a wonderful treat Sir Paul McCartney has made!

I remember my three girls (and I) all watching Rupert and the Frog Song endless times, never once becoming tired of it. It was full of adventure, joy, wonder and love and when I hear it I'm taken back to those blissfully happy times and the smiling faces of my children. Of all of Sir Paul McCartney's songs (and I am a life-long fan) the Frog Song holds a very unique and special place in my heart - it is pure magic.

Whilst heading out into the countryside for a walk I came to the large pond on the edge of the village and was amazed at the cacophony I could hear. The ponds was full with frogs and toads calling to each other! I have never heard anything like it, it was so loud and reminded me of the Frog Song and how we loved reading the book and singing the song to our sons all those years ago!

I actually had the video on a beta, thats how old it is and i was and am! My dad even tried to get it recorded onto normal VHS but with not much luck, not only did i watch the video to death, its just a song that reminds me of being young, So simple its actually fantastic and it still brings a smile to my face even now!

WOW, I remember watching this film before, I was very little seeing this. I saw Rupert and the frog song on the Disney channel and luckily recorded it too. I must say the animation is still amazing to this very day. No CGI movie can beat a traditional animation movie. A few years later, probably one of my favorite cartoon shows as a kid "Rupert" and I said, I remember this guy. Recently, I'm getting my ideas together for Art school and I happen to run into Rupert again. I started to watch the old show again and It's still magical and funny to this very day.

Rupert Rocks!!!

I hadn't realised there was a film until a few days ago, but my sister and I used to annoy our parents by singing along to the cassette in the car (I guess it's their fault for putting it on!).

We even made up actions.... :oS

It has a good memory, my mum bought me the book and a few years ago i got it signed by paul and linda. its hard back first edition but will never sell it

My memory of the Frog chorus means a lot to me, cos it was around about the time I met my now husband, I was very young, just 16 years old and he was a couple of years older than me, I used to sing it to him very affectionately whenever it came on the tv or radio, I loved the song then and I love it now, I am 37 now and we are still together.

I had a betamax tape of the frog song i used to watch religiously when i was a little kid, i came across it this morning and showed it to my 3 year old daughter. She dug it, although i think i enjoyed it a bit more than she did! thanks a million for this gem...

l always thought that those frogs were toads!! LOL!! Are we sure that they weren't toads??!

When i was young, i used to sing this at play school and younger children thought i was weird. but then my parents leant them the video and they all loved it! I love this song. I am 15 now and still love it! I just wish i could have the song on my computer. I would be so happy

Thank you for the best song ever to come out when i was a kid. i can remember sitting in the front room with my sister and top of the pops came on and that music started and i felt i was there! Singing along holding on tight to my sisters hand telling her to keep her voice down or we would be chased out and we would have to wait another 200yrs. Then the frogs come to an end and i can here my mum calling and i wake up. wot a fantastic song to make kids have dreams like that Thank you macca.

I love this song so much, I used to listen to it all the time when I was a wee cub. It brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it as it reminds me of my family all singing it in the car on our holidays.

I had the frog chorus on record when i was 3 years old, but someone stole it! :o(

I've always loved magic, and you don't get much more magic than this song! Rupert the bear is the original Harry Potter!

I love this song, i've had so many good nights listening to this song,it brings back so many memories.

I have loved this song for over 20 years! When I started courting my wife Andrea, I used to serenade her with this song in the local park, so it has special memories for us both. I don't think I'll ever tire of hearing that wonderful chorus!

I used to have Rupert & The Frog Song on audio cassette with read along book and my sister and I used to listen to it and read along each night at bedtime when we were little. I Still have the book and remember the audio cassette so well but sadly dont know what happened 2it. Im now 25 and married with a daughter. I read the story to her recently and surprised myself when I animatedly performed the voices exactly as I remembered them from the cassette. Fantastic memories, my sister who is now 18 has just borrowed the book from me to read tonight at bedtime!!! Thats what made me decide to look for the song on the internet and im so glad I found this site.

I loved the video when I was a child....I'm 23 now, and guess what?, I still love it!

Me and my sister where obsessed with it when we where kids. Me Dad had the vid. Think it's in the loft somewhere. Still love it. For some reason it always makes me feel christmasy. 🙂

Bom bom bom....Love u RUPERT !

We saw rupert bear on TV when we were little and loved it ever since!!!!

Remembered this fab video and song during the 1980's when I was growing up and now that I have a 2 1/2 year old who is just starting to watch Rupert on TV, thought he would love it too !! Found this fab website via search engine - fantastic video clip to show Harry and the audio clip - bought back some lovely memories - just as good now as it was then!!

Hobbs Family, Tamworth, Staffs

Dear Matt Blank, Many thanks! I enjoy your "Rupert and the frog song" website. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Regards from Joop

We both loved the big fat frogs, it brings a tear to my eye every time i hear it.

Many Thanks

Brill tune!

Was and still am a huge fan of Rupert, many childhood memories which im sure will be shared by my children some day.

Thank you

I loved this as a small child! Still have the VHS to this very day. My favorite bit of it has to be when Rupert passes the tree with all the butterflies. Mind you I love the whole thing. Wonderful!

Wow. i had totally forgotten about this film, or song until on TV the other day I saw about a 2 second clip. that triggered something and all i could remember was being a spectator to some sort of sacred thing (now I know that was Rupert and the very rare frog performance) and that the frogs had shiny eyelids, i wasn't sure if it was fantasia or something but i thought not as I didn't really watch that. But i just found it on youtube by searching 'frog song', i remember that orange fish, those lady frogs in those dresses floating, the dad and this son, the other lady frog and the king and queen at the end!! and most of all how it is so sacred and rupert gazing in which i still cant quite remember, i gotta find the entire episode...

P.S. I think i was about 3 when i watched this, when i lived in London. now I've just turned 18, was so long ago!!

i was 6 when i first heard this fab song.I was telling my girlfriend and the kids about my best xmas ever opening my presents and this song being on tv.

Despite the fact I was a young teenager when this song and video came out it became a very firm favourite in my house. I would put it on the record player and dance around on Christmas day with my parents! Somehow it brought the childhood spirit of christmas back. It still makes the hairs on my neck stand up and I now dance around to it with my own little one!

I was introduced to Rupert Bear when I was 5 yrs old (1951 )...loved him from first meeting, the adventures and the magical settings and landscapes that he was suddenly projected into, plus the good chums and curious, surrealist characters that just appeared suddenly in the Nutwood are. This all fired my imagination and has had an enormous influence on my development as a mural painter.

The appearance of the Frog Song when my son was 3 years old was so perfect to introduce him to that kind, beautiful, gentle and magical world a great fondness for frogs of course developed and tadpoles were found for a very small pond in the garden. His interest in natural history and the environment had started, and still continues as a design student at the R.C.A. We still sing it and I am sure it has greatly added to the imagination of a young Eco designer.

I don't know if I am just nostalgically running on, but I am so grateful to that wonderful video, the music, the settings, the animation and the ethics of the Frog Song I am now introducing it to the third generation the world so needs that essential gentleness.

Wishing you lots of fun with your wonderful site!

"Rupert will be singing a song - rupert will be rolling along - rupert will be singing a song of love"

Thanks Paul

I loved Rupert the Bear! Infact I still do! I have been a Ruper the Bear fan ever since I can remember. My grandmother bought me a Rupert the Bear toy when I was little and I still have him now, sitting on my bed. It was the best gift I have ever recieved and I treasure him dearly. I remember the old Rupert video's I used to have. Gee! I havent watched those in ages. And I still have them in the loft (somewhere) .. and I'll never get tired of watching them over and over again!

I love all his adventures, especially the one where Rupert has a flying bike and Rupert and Podgy go on a ship, and they have to peal potatoes, and Podgy eats all the cookies! And another one, where Rupert meets some friends whilst visiting this man, I can't remember his name now, but he has some kind of necklace, anyway, these little men want it, but there's 2 groups of them, and one of them rhymes, and Rupert gets caught in some weed of some sort, and then near the end they throw apples and that, and then there is a fire ... (its not very clear what i'm trying to describe but I haven't seen it in years!)

I also remember... (I know I drag on).. but I do remember a video, of when Podgy gets the measles of something and he has to get an antidote and he goes to these fairy's but there is a black pixie and he is the only one that has it, and then ... well I cant remember it all now.. but I'm definatly going to get those video's down! Hehe.. then I'll remember! Good old time... anyway, to all you Rupert lovers out there.. do tell me some of the video's I have spoken about if you can remember too... that way I'll know which of my favourites to watch!

Thanks xx

My first frog music video was Roger Glover "Love Is All". When it was on telly my mother called me immediately, because i enjoyed it so much in a time that the videoclip was a rare phenomenon. The 'Frog song" (i thought it was called 'We All Stand Together') was a sort of part II. The fairytale atmosphere & the sweet 'Miow, Miow Miow' singing background cats, the barriton bass 'Bom, BomBom! It is just the ultimate feel good song for my concern. Even now i am 36 it still causes the same feeling. Greetings from Holland!

Keeping in mind that i was only born the year it came out, whenever i hear 'we all stand together' i get the most awesome goosebumps! Great memories! Good ones that i hope my children will one day share too! Beautiful website! Thank you Sir Paul for all the beautiful and even tearful memories! (most of them Beatles memories! - BIG FAN) I love you Mwaaah

I can't quite remember the circumstances, but my parents gave me this video when I was 20 years old, presumably because I enjoyed the song and was just a big kid at heart. When I left home I also left behind my Rupert video which has since been enjoyed by many children staying at my parent's house. Now living in New Zealand, I returned home with my 2 children this summer and the video (now 22 years old) was still being played and enjoyed by all the kids. Since getting back to NZ I have been on a quest to get another copy so I can introduce our small farming community to the joys of Rupert!

I will never forget the day I first saw the episode of Rupert the Bear and the Frog Song. I was about 14 years old. At the time I was living in Grenada. I was over at a friend's house watching the tv. When Rupert the Bear came on I said to myself, "hey I haven't seen him in a while!" The story line was very interesting so I was glued! I was so amazed at the harmony of the voices that I became hypnotized. I remember leaving my friend's house feeling extremely happy and full of joy as I sung the line 'we all stand together' with a skip in my steps and a smile on my face.

When I got home I told my brothers and sisters about the episode I had witnessed and how heavenly the frogs were singing but they had not seen or heard them like I had so they could not fully share my experience. For many years I searched video stores looking for the episode until I gave up my searching. Then as fate would have it I saw it on tv but it was just a special progamme featuring Rupert and the Frog Song. I did not get to hear the frogs sing again, but I was overjoyed to see a distant but ever present fondest of childhood memories again. But I could never forget how I felt that day watching Rupert listening to the frogs singing, the Bass frogs!!! We all stand together!!! I am now a grown man living in Barbados now, yet of all my childhood experiences and adventures, none has ever been so enchanting than watching of that episode of Rupert the Bear the sound of the Frog Song. Today I have finally found you. Thank you Sir Paul for a wonderful childhood memory that will be with me in heart... in mind... in soul...forever.

I love rupert so much , and i watch it everyday at 11am on YTV but i just found out that there not going to show it anymore, and im so sad!!

I had this on a video with some other cartoons, one was called 'seaside woman' and the other was a really weird one with Linda McCartney, something about a nightfish! Anyway, me and my sister absolutely loved this video and wore it out 🙁

We all stand together!

My memory of this video is when my brother and me were small and we used to go to our grandparents house every weekend. We would sit in front of the tv and watch the film over and over. Thank you Sir Paul for giving me such a wonderful memory xxxxxxxx

Kudos to Paul McCartney for including Rupert in this song. It was certainly popular in my secondary class at the time.

I've just revisited some of those memories of the TV series and it was pure gold. I'm glad to hear that the stories will continue to entertain new generations.

I always wanted to buy this film of the Rupert, but in Brazil he is difficult here to find. I adore Rupert!

I got married in June 2006 & had this song played whilst we were signing the registrar...Apt words - it did bring a sway to the congregation & smile to everyones face...Everyone is still talking about it 6 weeks on!!!

Yippee!! I love this track, it just reminded me of being a child again. I must of watched the tape a hundred times back then. Every time I hear the song through my life I just smile.

My first childhood memory is of listening to this song on the radio. I had the video and watched it so much it had to be replaced. I wish i still had it now and am so happy its been released on DVD...I'm off to the shops right now!!!

When I was five I took the Frog Song single to my first primary school disco. Everyone loved me that night. needless to say thats where my popularity ended.

I have happy memories of when i was a little girl watching Rupert and The Frog Song and I still have the video!

When I first heard it I was overjoyed because my name is Rupert and my favourite character in the world would be Rupert the bear. I do like frogs and I got one today. It was a toy.
I like to sing and I like to dance and I
like to listen to other songs.

My parents taped this cartoon, and my siblings and I grew up watching it. It always enthralled us! I love the King's Singers, and I was recently thrilled to discover the fact that they sing in the frog chorus. Just another reason that this cartoon is so magical!

I own the original VHS copy and used to watch it alot as a kid. I think i'll go crank it up again. peace

When my son and daughter were young ( about 20 years ago) we rented Rupert the Frog Song from a small video store. We practically wore the video out . After we returned the video, we tried renting it again several months later put could not find it. We loved the music. My son and daughter are grown but for years I had been humming that song!!

Luckily , we purchased the DVD last week and will always be able to relive the tunes and animation( and the memories)

I loved this song when I was a little girl in the 1980's! It combined 2 of my favourite things in the world; The Beatles and Rupert! 2nd only to Yellow Submarine as my favourite song. The video is adorable!

I don't want Rupert to have a large tan coloured head - it's Wrong!

My five year old son was desperately ill following a second lot of heart surgery in which he received an artificial valve- he was tethered by an external pacemaker, and ECG machine and two drips. The video of the Frog Song was on the ward, and it became the focus for our hope that with the support of the clinical team and all his family together, he would survive.
When he came out of hospital (with an internal pacemaker!) we bought a copy of the video, and a machine to play it on, on the way home.
My son has survived - now 25 - and the sound of the Frog Song reminds me of the hope, skill, courage and support that got us through those grim days in 1986 and 87.

This was the 1st single i ever owned, and i played it and played it to death!

Until one sad day i put it on the radiator and forgot about it, and the heat warped it, i still to this day have not cried as much as i did then! 🙁

but i recently purchased it off ebay, all i need now is a record player!

I used to watch this all the time when I was little... My grandmother taped it from the Disney Channel and sent it to us. I remember watching it with my father and being in complete awe at the frog king and queen at the end of the song.

I dug out the tape last night and watched it - Each movement of the animation seems implanted in my memory, it's amazing how much a little child can pick up. I really wish this DVD was available in America, it's so nostalgic for me!

Hi people!

I remember how I used to love this little movie when I was a kid. I'd love to have the DVD, but in my country (Portugal) this movie isn't available in DVD. I have it in a small old tape.

This movie brings me also many childhood memories. I still love it as much as then. It's a small huge masterpiece.

Sir Paul McCartney made a great job! He and everyone who worked on it. That song "We All Stand Together" is amazing too! Everything is awesome in this movie.

One last thing: this movie was made in 1984 (I was born in that year).

I have such found memories of Dear Great "Rupert and the Frog Song".

I guess we never grow up but with friends like them it was easy.

I LOVED this when I was little (about 12 years ago!) and I just dug up our old tape of it. So glad to know I can buy it for my cousin!

One of those songs which instantly transport me back to being 5 years old - thanks for this website - my husband had never heard of this and didn't believe it was a real piece of music when I started singing it. Thank you for letting me show him the real thing, and for letting me re-live a real slice of bing a very little girl. Thank you.

I used to listen to this song when i was like 6 / 7 years old and always enjoyed watching the video clip. Now 16 years later, i finally found the clip again. And i must say i'm happily surprised with this. Tnx for having this website!! 🙂

I remember this song so well now i have seen the video again. Yesterday i started singing it for no reason at all and wanted to find out any websites this is the best and only one dedicated completely and its great!

Very nice looking site, with useful info about this classic by Paul. Thanks again for the help Matt!

Bought the animation dvd with my little niece in mind.Always a good excuse to make your McCartney collection complete. I admit watching the "Rupert and the frog song" movie brought back memories of when I was so much younger then today. Believe it was my first contact with music, and certainly the first time I liked something what an ex Beatle did. Tho at that time I didn't know who Paul McCartney or the Beatles was.

I remember when i was a child and my father turned on the tv and together we watched the video.

Like Olivia Lightfoot, who posted before me, i'm 18 too, and i just stumbled across this site and watched the video then. all my childhood memories came flooding back to me. We hired it from the local video shop so often. it reminds me of watching it with the chicken pox.

I wish i could watch it again. the part where he asks his father if he can go out, or something, and he stand there rocking back and forth on his little white shoes. and how the mother calls "RUUUPPPPERRT!!... RUUUUUUUUUUPPPPPERT!!" at the end.

i can still distinctly remember the sound of Rupert's feet clicking on the wet cave floor. haha i like that sound.

i still have this, and i made all of my friends watch it on my recent 17th birthday. I love it even to this day, its a cult classic!

i think it made me what i am today...weird!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You made dreams come true & mine too. Beautiful & lovely page.

My gran used to put this song on for me my sister and my 2 cousins and we all used to sing to it

Paul McCartney is almost in every single memory I have from being a child, since my dad was, and still is by the way, a HUGE Beatles fan. And a Paul McCartney fan in particular. Being daddy's little girl, Paul was of course also my favourite. (At the age of 10 I even won a quiz, being the only one who could answer the question: Who played bass in the Beatles?) From all songs of the Beatles, and Paul McCartney and the Wings etc., I love the frog song the most. It was absolutely magic, and frankly, it still is. Right now, I'm 'only' 18, and I hope this song will be as magic to my children, one day, as it was to me and all the other kids in the world. Dad, thank you for this great memories... My happiest childhood memories will always include you, the Beatles, and our adventures in Amsterdam whilst sitting on your shoulders. I love you!

I'm so happy I've found this site, I loved this cartoon as a kid, my dad has the vinyl of the track somewhere! Now if only I could find the complete video...

I watched this at my friend's house when i was around 5 (i'm now 20!). We really loved it, the video had a few other things on it, a linda McCartney animation too, called "sea side woman."

We were quite obsessed as kids, and watched it every day. Really nostalgic hearing it again!

I have loved rupert bear and gang since i was 1 because my dad bought him for my 1st birthday. i am now 34 and still have my rupert bear. He still looking good.

I am 20 and from Sydney, Australia. By pure stroke of luck I somehow in my early childhood came into possession of a VHS tape that had Rupert and the frog song along with Oriental Night Fish and Seaside Woman. These three cartoons (particularly the frog song)quickly found a place in my heart where it has lived ever since-If it weren't for Rupert and Willy Wonka my childhood would have been vastly different!

I am 4 years old and I really love the frog chorus and so does my Daddy.

I remember this song like I've heard it only five minutes ago. I swear by it, no matter how much time passes, I will never be able to forget such a movie that sticks out in my mind.

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to my childhood. Even now I like it as much as I did back then and my son now also likes it too.

My husband and I both remember singing this song in school assembly during the Christmas season and it brings back lovely memories for us both! Excellent to see again. My 3 month old seems to enjoy it too!

Hi! I'm from Portugal, I'm 21 and you don't imagine the joy I had when today I turned on my radio and started to listen this music. I remember when I was a little child and loved this song. It was fantastic!!

My dad played it to me wen i was about 9, i loved it!!!! i'm only 17 now tho, so it was kinda before my time, but my older brother and sister grew up with it. i still dig the old vid out occasionally and watch it if i've got a spare 20 minutes or so.

Great song, I still can remember the video, saw it when I was 7 years old. Good times were those.

I think the video positively influenced any 80's child who watched it. I have only one very early memory of seeing it, but still remember the tune and and the incredible feeling of peace and love it conveyed.

I first saw Rupert and the Frog Song on MTV in the 80's (I think it was that) and only caught a little bit of it. I tried to find out about it as I was a huge fan of Rupert Bear but it wasn't until I was able to search the Internet that I found out more about it. I now own two singles and the DVD.

Nice website ... the first time I heard "R. and the Frog Song", it brought tears to my eyes. For most of Rupert's Followers, it's the best Rupert animation of them all. Oh for the full feature film...

I just wanna say Rupert and the Frog Song inspired me because my dad left when I was a little girl and he used to play that for me to put me to sleep. I mean I still see him and all, it just brings back a lot of memories. God bless.
