My little brother was ill in bed and had hallucinations on Benadryl, he saw an entire episode of the littlest hobo on the bedroom wall streamed from his subconscious, apparently it was a good episode.
I am 52 and remember the programme and theme tune when growing up. The tune is in F major (I have a very good memory for tunes!) Haven't got a clue what a HOBO is though - sounds like an abbreviation.
@@angelacooper2661 a hobo, is what some people call a homeless person or a tramp, and he was a homeless dog that traveled around, I dont think the word is used very much nowadays x
I recently lost my black lab, she was my special girl. I trained her from a pup, worked and lived with her for 12 years. I'm really sorry for your loss and feel your pain.
@@bronkaminski2608 I know you are feeling an incredible sadness but it will ease. I also know that sounds like crap but I have a human relative in a bad way too. Life really is what you think sometimes..but I don't believe that is forever
@@i_wouldprefer_not_to1196 I totally agree. It does still hurt and I will always miss her and so will my other security dog as they were very close but life goes on. We have to deal with these things in life but still have to keep pushing past the feelings and carry on. I'm actually starting a channel called Bron & Co talking about mental health and dealing with feelings like this. I was robbed of my job due to mental illness and an assault (anxiety,depression,and it also caused me to gain epilepsy 4 years ago) I suffered at work and I don't want anyone else to feel as bad as I have. Just started recording the first video so it will be out soon hopefully. My other dog might make an appearance if he stops whining while recording! What you said doesn't sound crap, it's true. I've found your mental approach to things decides how well you can handle things. Of course things will hurt and hurt badly and it will take a long time for things to get close to back to normal (whatever that may be!) but it can happen. Thank you for your comment and I wish you and your family all the best in dealing with what you are going through now.
You are not the only one. I used to watch it when I was a kid, years later now flying around the world and when I hit the hotels in different cities I take a look back in my young age and I always find myself with hobo
@@davejohnson3474 what do you mean by EastEnders? if you mean the east end of Canada, you know we had this show and everyone i know knows it. the nicest people in Canada are the EastEnders.
A new littlest hobo is in the works. Amazing how times have changed since the 80's version. I look forward to seeing this modern version, cell phones and all. lol
I remember this show! I was bullied as a kid and I swear I would imagine meeting this dog and playing with him. When me and my strange mind played imaginative games I would always pretend I was with him who was played by my German shepherd stuffed toy
Awh. Me and my brother use to say that it was our cousin. Who would get dumped off at our house by her mum. If she couldn't find another baby sitter. And sing it to her. She didn't see the funny side. But we did love her though
The 1980's had the best theme tunes. This, The A-Team, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, Hill Street Blues, Cheers, Diff'rent Strokes, the list goes on and on......
YES I totally agree it's such an amazing simple song that has major chords that make you feel happy & also minor chords that make me feel poignant . Great song 👌
That is the Walton's theme song for me. I was like 7 or 8 when I first started watching that. Hearing that theme come on is remarkably soothing and centering.
Cried as soon as I listened to this. (locked door, pillow over face) The song and stories remind me of the little boy I once was so so so long ago. I miss that little boy with all my heart. Life tends to crush even the most stoic of souls. I hope and pray that the tears and bleeding heart of mine will not be noticed nor pitied by my own little son. I hope. Then again painfully felt nostalgic memories can never be related to younger generations... up until my own son someday carries my old decrepit body up to my bed and kisses my forehead saying, "Love you Dad".
Your honesty touched my heart-Totally resinated with me too...The innocent little boy I once was, sat in front of the TV, this theme tune chocked me up too...Nostalgia floods home eh...Not sure what it is about getting older that turns you into a softy....lol, V true, you unfortunately cannot give your children your nostalgic feelings.
My dog was called hobo, we dedicated this song to him. 15 years ago he died in a car accident at 6 years old and I’ll always miss him, but life moves on and where I lost a friends I gained a new one, My dog Rusty filled that void, he’s now 6 years old born in 2013 and I like to listen to this song every now and then to remember why having a pet dog has and always will be the best thing thing I’ll ever know.
I miss this show. I was a child when it aired on TV. Now I’m a 40+ year old, married and have a child. Life is amazing. Live it to the fullest and cherish all wonderful memories.
The most brave and honest dog in the universe Im 42 and this brings back so much nostalgia I used to watch this show with my dad RIP FATHER YOU'LL ALWAYS BE WITH ME
because the childhood memories of a happier time in our lives come to life through this song and we become sad because those times will never come again
50 years of age this month and i thought i was the only man whose eyes well up when they hear this. 45 years listening to this song now and it tugs at mt heartstrings everytime. 💚 Love from Ireland.
48 and im the same brother ..i loved that dog and the show ,i was an only child with a dog that went everywhere with not many friends i knew alot of people but i felt noone really understood me except my dog Love from an Australian with Irish heitage
I am 51 and today I had a strong connection with Hobo. I too cry and feel nostalgic when I hear this theme song. I realise that I have been living like Hobo. I am a consultant in human resources and find myself always helping individuals and teams connect and reunite and when the job is done I am off to another family (company, team) where I have to serve for a short time till I go again. So many parts of the theme song resonate with me I have lived in varoius countries and still can't settle down...Love the great memories and am grateful for every Hobo experience.
this always brings tear to my eyes. been though tha same. what a song And im a 43 year old man. goin thro 20 year divorce. im so so lost. big up this song. love it
I used to cry uncontrollably every time this show ended. I believed the poor dog needed a loving home and was very lonely. My Mum had to comfort me. The memories. I am 57.
Bjorgne ☺️ gosh you are so lucky .... I’m moving to Norway 🇳🇴 so I can watch this lovely programme with you lolz I will bring English tea and biscuits and cakes 😝
I still cry my heart out when i hear this song. This was such a huge part of my childhood. I am 22 now and I will forever be grateful for this show. It will hold a special place in my heart forever. God love this dog. 😍💖😊
I remember watching this in UK when I was a kid, years on I am flying around the world, from time to time when I look into my childhood I find myself with Hobo. Life has gone by in no time😭😢😰
@ryan williams It was on Tv for years.. hello have you lived under A rock? I found it on T.V years ago and when i told my mom back then she was like oh yeah I love that show. I found it compleatly on my own because i always was up early in the night so i just watched T.V as a young girl till my mom woke up to start the day. You dont have to believe me oh and my Birthday was a few days ago im 23 now was born in 97 so i really dont care if your suspicious about it. I dont know who you even are. 🤣🤣 best show in my Childhood the Memories will always be there. 😝
Wow! The Littlest Hobo was the most amazing show and encapsulated our childhood through the 80’s. I’m 52 now and listening to the theme song thrust me back to my childhood and I loved the journey. Even reading all the amazing comments below shows just how beautiful this show was that even 40+ years on it is still generating the love 💕. God bless each and every one of you, sending love and prayers to you all 👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️
Your great country gave me the opportunity, despite living in South America, to live my childhood enjoying memorable series and their respective musical themes. This is one of my favorites
I'm 20 but my dad used to sing this song when I was a baby to me and I always wondered what this song was from when he passed and now I sing it to my baby girl even though I never seen the show it made a good memory for me and my dad.........thank you lil hobo.
I am not crying you're crying ❤ my grandma and I used to watch this show all the time. as soon as the theme hit started bawling like a baby. man I miss my grandma
It's funny, I grew up watching this show, fast forward and I'm 36, a long haul trucker and I just stumbled across this song yet again, this song sums up my life pretty well
I live in Australia and have never seen this show. Stumbled on the intro in my recommendations and I was not disappointed. I’m crying despite never having seen it. There’s something extremely nostalgic about it. Wish it was shown here. Thanks Canada for making a gem of a theme! Think I’ll start watching now.
Definitely was regularly shown in Australia, probably early 80’s it was one of my favourites as a child and I’m in my 40’s now. I liked it better than Skippy and Flipper.
Lovely tune, perfect theme song. I remember almost nothing from the show apart from the fact that there was a dog in it but this gives me warm memories of watching the show (despite not remembering the show itself)
Brings tears but of sheer joy to my eyes....41 years old and loved watched this when I was younger....London a beautiful dog...and when he showed up on 'Corner Gas' a few years back....talk about nostalgia....I literally wept when I saw him...
My wife said to me "when are you going to put the sun shade up" and I said "maybe tomorrow" and here I am, transported back to what seemed easier times. 😊
Every comment here I could have written myself. 44 and slightly choked up, remember this show so well, and how I would cry like a baby when the inevitable moment came, and the actors would look around, only to find... him... g-g-gone... sniff. My childhood was defined by loss, I realise now. This, ET, Bambi and Watership Down. It's a miracle I can raise a smile, really.
This for me, was one of those shows you could never really predict when it would come on. Like the Hobo, he just showed up for a few weeks and would dissapear.
As an 80's kid, I remember growing up on the Canadian border watching this show with my father. Man I miss those times. Life was a hell of a lot simpler then.
I used to sing this at the karaoke! Took everyone back to their childhood just for a few minutes. This was my ultimate favourite programme growing up. I always thought he'd find me one day lol. Wish they made tv like this now. Loved it x
In 2020 the 80s feel like a distant dream and yet all it takes is hearing a song I haven't heard in over 30 years to be back again laying on the itchy shaggy carpet of my childhood home watching The Littlest Hobo on our giant 27" tv, the smell of lavender floor cleaner and breakfast pancakes permeating the air as my mother moved about doing whatever it was the 80s moms did to make our childhoods so precious.
