  1. @Pamela1960 #TheProclaimers had about 4 hits. And they are still big in Scotland.

  2. The Bigots are happy to take our coins but slag us off behind our backs to The Telegraph. What a way to trash a reputation...

  3. Going on tour with Van Morrison and Eric Clapton are they?

    Wasters...

  4. CW: The Proclaimers go full transphobic 😡

    I'm heartbroken. I loved #TheProclaimers. And not just because they are the only band I ever interviewed (back in 1989).

    I loved them 'cos they brought hope & courage to a Scotland which was starved in a poverty of aspiration.

    And now here's the English unionist #Torygraph cooing all over the Reid brothers as they regurgitate the lies and half truths of the #transphobes, clearly without talking to any #trans people. 😡

  9. Massive amounts of my #music listening are #covers.

    It's sometimes makes me want specific covers that don't, or could not ever now, exist.

    In the #Scottish front, who else would love to hear #TheProclaimers cover 'Without You' by Badfinger?

    (I also wanted Sean Connery's 'Walk This Way', but I think that could go creepy really quickly, much like the original. But imagine what a good Connery impersonator could do!? Particularly the 'See-saw swinging...' verse)

  10. Then he had to hike 500 miles more .... because he left his car parked at the trail head. #TheProclaimers #Proclaimers

  11. Cruising on the A9 through the Cairngorms, listening The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith. What else?!

  12. Every couple of years I have a day where I rediscover The Proclaimer's 500 miles and and have it on repeat for the entire evening. Today was such a day, it was a good day.

  13. The #music truth the world is not ready to hear is that #TheProclaimers could do a fantastic cover of Bad Romance

  15. One of the things about the amount of #music that I've played is that when I can get my mind right, I've got a pretty good inner ear.
    I often imagine what songs would sound like covered by artists who never covered them. It's easier with very distinct voices or sounds.

    Most recent one... just worked. And they're not dead, so it could happen:

    Imagine "#TheProclaimers" (500 Miles) covering Bad Romance by #LadyGaga?

    That whole whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh section just would work perfectly, right?

    I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
    When I go out, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
    If I get drunk, well, I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
    And if I haver, yeah, I know I'm gonna be
    I'm gonna be the man who's haverin' to you 🎵

    500 miles? Sure. I just saw the album cover and thought "Can I redo that in ACNH?" The answer is...mostly. Though the cityscape wallpaper isn't quite right, it still works.

    Have a great Music Monday.

    Destination Bangor, Maine
    Old, worn out suit and shoes
    I don't pay no union dues
    I smoke old stogies I have found
    Short, but not too big around
    I'm a man of means by no means
    King of the road”

  20. #TheProclaimers deserve way more credit than they just get from 500 Miles. I can't quite figure out where there's almost no studio covers of Sunshine on Leith and none of Streets of Edinburgh. Both are fantastic songs, and there's a rich world to be explored by both. Wouldn't even need the brogue to work.

    I promised a couple, and here’s the second. As catchy a tune as ever, and some great faces on here, including Ben Miller as King John.

  23. And if I haver, yeah I know I’m gonna be
    I’m gonna be the man who’s haverin’ to you…

    After it was used in the 1993 film BENNY & JOON, “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” was a 🇺🇸 hit for The Proclaimers – but some US radio stations refused to play it because they thought “haver” might mean something rude

  25. As a proud Fifer (who, admittedly, has no intention to ever live there again now that I live in Canada), I was very happy to finally pick up the #RecordStoreDay 2LP edition of #TheProclaimers' "Sunshine on Leith" the other day. An album that's so much more than just *that* song #NowPlaying #500Miles

  26. When working on my bachelor thesis in computer science, I come over the song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" [1] from the #TheProclaimers . There was a problem with the source code readability predictor from Scalabrino et al. [2] for #Java source code. 🤔 Can you guess the relation between the two?

  27. Song of the Day - No 403

    THE PROCLAIMERS - LETTER FROM AMERICA

    "Letter from America" by The Proclaimers, released in 1987, is a poignant track from their debut album "This is the Story." The song, blending folk and pop elements, reflects on Scottish emigration and the loss of industry. It reached No. 3 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming one of the band's most recognized songs.

  28. Wee reminder that if you ever visit the International Space Station, and decide to play I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) by #TheProclaimers, that during the song you will travel 500 miles and 500 more, to within 1% or so.
