Running From Our Fans (Avenue Q)

"Running From Our Fans" is a song from the Comic-Con Special of Avenue Q. It is a parody of "" from the. The song was first performed by the Warners in Animaniacs' "A Hard Day's Warners."

In this song sequence, after being discovered from their failed attempt to leave incognito (thanks to Excalibird's tail feathers), the Avenue Q cast all ran like the dickens to head to the train that leads to Comic-Con on the subway. Princeton, Kate Monster and Julian sing the song as they and the others use various antics while attempting to escape.

Lyrics
(A crowd waits outside a building to see the Avenue Q cast, when on another door on a different side of the building, a large group of figures dressed in overcoats and hats went outside slowly and attempted to sneak away.)

Fangirl: (noticing, gasps, as she points) EXCALIBIRD! (crowd cheers wildly)

Terry: (shocked) Huh?! How'd they know?!

(One of the figures has giant bluebird feathers sticking out of the rear of the coat.)

Excalibird: Oops! I forgot about my tail!

Greg the Bunny: Goddamn it, Excalibird! You're supposed to fix that coat!

Almo, Ginger, Kieran and Lizzie: Uh-oh!

Julian: This can't be good!

Stoopdude: Looks like it's time for the chase!

Princeton: Start the music, and RUN!!!

Kate Monster: WAIT FOR ME, PRINCETON!!!

(Then the Avenue Q cast started running like the dickens while the crowd of crazy fans gave chase as the colors changed around them.)

Nicky: Hey, why did it suddenly turn black and white?

Rod: Never mind that! Keep running!! Those crazy shippers are after us!!!

Princeton, Kate Monster and Julian: You can see that we're black and white

And we are running from our fans

Riding on invisible bikes

And walking on our hands

And everywhere that we go, we get no peace, don't you know

That's why we're running from our fans

In cartoons, everything's crazy and wild

In cartoons, we are corrupting your child!

You see we're doing wacky gags

While we are running from our FANS!!! (They yelled that instantly in fright on seeing one of the crazy fans incognito with them)

We're hiding behind mags

And even inside garbage cans (Trevor, Bozar and Stinky jumped out of a garbage can while joining the Avenue Q cast in running from the crazy fans.)

We always get this attention at a comic convention (The cast arrived at the subway and got past the ticket dispensers hastily.)

So we're running from our fans

Yes, we're running from our fans!

(Then the Avenue Q cast all got onto the subway train safely, escaping the crazy fans and everything returns to color.)
