Care Bears Theme Song, Care Bear Stare And Care Bear Cousins Call

By:

Published: December 1, 2006

One of the most memorable parts of the loveable Care Bears and Care Bear Cousins was their delightfully uplifting theme song. Many adults who watched the Care Bears TV show and movies as a child may recall the tune and a couple of phrases but recollecting the entire song after all these years, may require a little help. You could try hunting down a vintage Care Bear movie, contacting all your childhood friends or calling your mum. But that doesn't sound like much fun, which is why you came to us.

There are two versions of the Care Bears theme song. The first song is the one most adults recall from watching the TV series as a child or from the re-runs:

Care Bear Countdown, 4, 3, 2, 1
Who's that comin' from somewhere up in the sky?
Moving fast and bright as a firefly
Just when you think the trouble's gonna pounce
Who's gonna be there when it really counts?
Do the Care Bear Countdown
And send a wish out through the air
Just do the Care Bear Countdown
When you need them they'll be there
Don't be afraid when trouble's brewin' in your heart
If you can dream just send a wish out in the dark
And do the Care Bear's Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

The second Care Bears theme song is the one most Care Bears fans relate to:

I wanna be a Care Bear. Oh It will be so great to when I'm a Care Bear
Oh I can hardly wait to be a Care Bear and do the things Care Bears do.
Oh I wanna be a Care Bear Like you! You do?

I'll be like Funshine and make the sunshine
And have heart like Love-a-Lot.
I'll be like Wish Bear and always be there.
We'll be the luckiest bears in Care-a-Lot.

I wanna be a Care Bear and fill the world with love
To be a Care Bear is what I'm dreaming of.
We'll make a great pair. We'll stick together through and through Like glue.

I don't wanna be a cook or a fireman and I don't wanna play trombone in the marching band.
I just wanna be a care Bear Like you! I just wanna be a Care Bear

The Care Bears theme song comes from the once-popular Care Bears television series produced by the animation company DiC Entertainment. The first 21 episodes aired from 1985 to 1988. The show then switched animation companies to the Canadian Nelvana, creators of the first two Care Bear's movies, to ABC's Saturday morning line-up in 1988 re-titled The Care Bears Family Storybook. The show continued in syndication on ABC until 1990.

If you missed the show during its years of syndication or if you wuld like to share a part of your childhood with your children, you can. The entire DiC Entertainment catalog was released on DVD for you to enjoy from the comfort of your own home, giving you the opportunity to replay the Care Bears heartfelt theme song. Your other option is to move to Canada. Nelvana continues to run re-runs of the Care Bears series to help lift the spirits of adults and children alike.

So next time you are feeling down in the dumps, pop in your favorite episode from these cuddly creatures as they unleash their Care Bear stare and sing their theme song. Just remember:

Don't be afraid when trouble's brewin' in your heart
If you can dream just send a wish out in the dark
And do the Care Bear's Countdown 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
