-I'll be back. -Only in a re-run.

You guys see that! Buzz Saw touched me!

This for me is an example of why 80's music was so good. All those synth textures, nice bits of funk guitar and a ripping stevie ray vaughan-type guitar solo over the top, can't beat it!

-"Big crowd tonight" -"Better there than the streets..."

This theme deserved a 9min version as well !!

"Don't touch the hair!"

And now here's the Producer of "THE RUNNING MAN", and everybody's favorite showman, Damon Killian!

"I've got to score some steroids"

80s movie soundtracks were the best ever

Now that hit the spot.

Good ol' Running Man. Brings me back to my childhood.

I love blasting this on my speaker when I'm riding my bike. Love this

1:18 This is key moment that we all were waiting for many years ;)

who loves you and WHO DO YOU LOVE?????

"it is the year 2019...."

Love this movie. I like how near the end when they go after Killian and his underdogs they run through the restricted area of ICS plaza. This song is playing.

I come here every morning and dance to this before clocking in for work. This masterpiece lifts my spirits and picks me up when I’m down. Love it!! 💖

God bless you Arnold for giving my youth so many amazing bad ass movies to escape the world in. Cheers.

This is like finding a long lost artifact in pristine condition. Every other existing example of this song on the internet is not quite right in some way or another. Thank you sir, I salute you.

Great song for pumping Iron in the gym

Written by one of the Jackson 5 in Paula Abdul's honor. The running man scenes are very well done and believable as a dystopian game show, with the entire world in an almost unsolvable and disastrous worldwide depression, Killain is effectively in charge and he knows it.

You FUCKING Hero! 10 years. I've been looking for this for 10 years. Have my like.

Imagine hearing this every friday when in front of the tv with a pizza and Running Man the show about to start

I have been looking for this track since like, the 80s............................Just randomly showed up. Wow.

Voice: - And now here's the producer of The Running Man and everyone favorite showman... Daaamooon Kiiiliaaan! APLAUSE!!! Damon: - Yeah! Thank you! You're beautiful! I love you! Yeeess! You're beautiful! Thank you! Haha! Shhh.... It's SHOWTIME!! Damon: - Alright! Now Tell me whats the number one challenge show in the whole wide world? Audience - Running Man Damon: - And who love's you and who you love? Audience - DAMON! Damon: One more time! Audience: - DAMON!!! Damon: - YESSS!!!

It's SHOW TIME!

I'm getting an inexplicable urge to punch my way ruthlessly through an adoring crowd, then powerlift a souped-up dirt bike over my head.

This is what the internet is really for. So pleased to find this by accident. Thanks for putting it out there. Great film, great times!

"Buzz saw touched me"

Damon Killian: “Don’t touch the hair!”

2020 and LOVING THIS FIND!

Loving how the melody in this track calls back to the dangerous, cool vibes of Thriller (which was still huge in the decade this movie came out) when the string pads come in, but is somehow still its own thing. I always love when musicians do this.

I have been looking for this track for bloody years. Incredibly hard to get hold of. How you've managed this I do not know but thank you, thank you, thank you! Tracks like these shouldn't be hidden. The Running Man was one of the best movies of the 80's.

Put this in the congressional library before it disappears again

I’m playing this through my tv right now 🎼 🎶 and the missus is giving me the WTF eyes 👀…..she’s about the met the same death as Buzzsaw if she carries on! 😂😂 #Classic #Memories

And now the future is here. 2019. How time flies! loved the choreography of Paula Abdul and her dancers on this song. Great song too!

This song and Captain Freedon's Workout are pure gold on this soundtrack! Thaks for have this treasure! :)

Not all heroes wear capes!

Why isn't this song on the official soundtrack from the movie!?

Super classic film 👍

All my whole life searching this!! thank you from Spain

This tune is nice big time

You, sir, are a fucking GOD! That little guitar riff at 1:22 never fails to give me goosebumps.

This movie is the training video for 2021! 😥😁

Every Sunny Workout days theme !! It has an touch of infinity awesome tune every single time ;)

“That boy’s one mean motherf**ker” 😂 this song gets me so hyped for The Running Man

Finally someone got the original!!! Been waiting for years!!!

OMG , been looking for this tune for about 10 years and i almost gave up hope from all the bad remixes and film mashups.

Thank u been looking for this for years

The strings with the synths I always loved it and still do

Wow this is so rare.

Nick I'm Phil... I mean what I say in the next few minutes very emotionally! I don't know whether to strangle you or hug you for eternity! I have been looking for this song for over 10 years now jealousy envy hate surprise and admiration are very little words right now thus version isn't even the exact version from the movie its edited in some way but its the best fucking version on the whole Internet at this point man I just want to eternally thank you for this you have no idea what this movie means to me and my brother growing up as kids Arnold is and will always be a fucking meteor ready to strike challenge down the man the legend he will always be back

i cant believe i finally found this. I searched youtube for years because i was so disappointed that this superb song is NOT on the original soundtrack CD. I searched everywhere but could only found broken versions with cut out voices and messed up and mixed audio tracks or soundpieces put together. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!

I hope everyone realises how rare this is. It's almost impossible to find a studio recording of this. It would be great to hear how you got it!

Wow, incredible.. searched long and hard for this, thought it would never see the light of day. Thank you, Sir. Don't touch the hair.

I waited so many years to be able to listen to this track without all the dialogue over the top (in the movie) This whole area of the film (the dancers) is like having a dream back into the 80's

This is truly amazing. As a 39 year old I can say that Running Man was one of my favourite films as a young boy. I love Paula's theme and this version sounds so complete. Thank you very much. This version sounds like it came from a standard music cassette tape because it has that tape hiss and very minor dropouts which actually kind of adds to its charm.

"Mr Spock you have the com..." "Who's Mr Spock ??"

Having this saved up. Love having this fully uninterrupted.

Absolutely incredible music i love this movie long move 80s!

"Aaaaaaaaaand digital FX number 1... Roooooooooooool process mod". **snaps fingers**

Jesus, this must be one of the best original movie soundtrack songs ever. Thanks so much. I will name my first-born after you!

How on earth did you get hold of this!??? Would love to hear your story!

Thank you for uploading this... How I miss the 80's

I remember looking fruitlessly for this on the internet over ten years ago; I *never* thought we'd hear it! Many thanks.

It looks like the newly announced, official expanded soundtrack release from Varese Sarabande will not contain Paula's Theme. Glad we have the song available here.

I wanted to hear the raw version of this song for so long. Thank you so much for uploading this!

IMDB says: Paula's Theme Written and Produced by *Jackie Jackson* and *Glen Barbee* Performed by *Jackie Jackson* and *Glen Barbee*

Muy bueno el sound track de una gran película, muchas gracias por compartir. 😊❤😊

Love this recording...and those pads!!

you feel like you can do anything when you hear this

Thanks for finding this. The tv intro scene is my favourite scene from The Running Man. Great movie.

thanks a lot man! you restored my faith on good will on earth! :D peace!!

Just watched this again for the first time since the 90s with my 8 year old son, forgot what a fun movie it is. Great 80s soundtrack too.

“It’s show time! 😮💛

I can tell this track alone was the inspiration for many of the “NewRetroWave” type artists.

Well, that hit the spot

That snare is pure Prince

Now all we need is someone to find “No Mercy” by Bill Wray from Lionheart. That’s the true grail.

how? this is like finding excalibur, or the holy grail.. this is not even supposed to exist in our mortal realm!

THIS is my jam.

This tune gives me goosebumps when i watch this

Finally this theme. Thank you very much sir.

Damn it, man! You won everything with this. Nice shot.

Well done very well done Absolutely Fantastic i have been waiting for this original version for many years 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

OP you gotta loop a 1 hour version on this on your channel. ❤️🎶🔥

It's showtime!

Oh woooooow! Finally, thank you very much for posing this rare tune up Nick, I don't understand, Paula's theme is the best tune on this movie and they never thought to have put it on the album!

I'm surprised this is still up after 5 years! I've downloaded and made several backups of the video, you never know when it's gonna get removed due to a copyright claim. Shame this catchy theme has never been officially released due to rights issues, but at least we've got this, thanks Nick!

Love those"tom tom' drums!

What sorcery is this?! Finally, we have this masterpiece! Better download it now before Paula Abdul has it removed. Nick, how came you by this?

you're a damn hero... godbless your soul!

Jammin'!!!!!!! THIS is what I've been searching for!

Thanx Nick!!! Watched that movie about a 25 Times and still love that dancing sequence. The choreography and the music are awesome! Respekt man - great Thing you put IT on KZfaq. Thx again

Intense... thank you from the bottom of my heart! Makes quarantine better

Love it!! I'm about to do some cardio to this jam right here!! 😂👏🔥💎❤

I had been looking for this song for years. Over the last few years, I keep coming back to listen, but I’ve been too rude to comment. I’m absolutely grateful that you have this and uploaded to share with us. Thank you so much!

Omg I love this!!!
