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

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. Watch: Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson star in ‘Sheep Detectives’ trailer

    Dec. 18 (UPI) — The Greatest Showman icon Hugh Jackman plays a murdered shepherd whose sheep try to…

  6. 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

    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.

  8. #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.

  9. This is so much fun. Gary Oldman singing along to “I’m gonna be (500 miles)”

    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

  12. 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

  13. 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?

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

    Tag 2: Ein Song mit einer Zahl im Titel

    The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)

    Bekannt geworden ist der Song auch den Film Benny & Joon (1993) mit Johnny Depp.

    Fun fact: Ich hab ihn durch Zufall gesehen, da wir im falschen Kino gesessen haben.
