Whole Wide World

[Adamoda14]

This group can ruin anything

[pstm1188]

@Adamoda14 Sorry, dude, but I actually like their version better. I listened to the original and that singer had some pitch problems, not to mention that I just love the harmonies in this version.

[boredboystu]

This isn't wreckless eric, it is the proclaimers

[gerardk51]

Aad goo th' whooole waad wurrrld!

[gerardk51]

Ay laak eet!

[dooup]

[turbo13101]

[turbo13101]

the sad thing about this pop culture is if some fucking daft american cunt was using these lyrics thsi would have been no1 all over the world ,,,,,,well fuck it there scottish and were proud of it

[RMR667]

Tough to imagine life without Mark Knopfler or the Reid brothers.

[YourGaySoShutup]

i still like 500 miles more



[scattyshazzy]

Love this wee tuneee.. Gawn On A Quest To Find Your Soulmate..(",)..xXx.

[KommandKool]

This is the Proclaimers, not the frankly better Wreckless Eric version.

[DriftwoodAndCorpses]

beauty. love this to pieces

[iloveedinburgh]

Their harmony at 2:46 blows my mind! Gorgeous!

[PondRiversong]

@iloveedinburgh I agree - priceless.

[animosTube]

this version sucks

[VeganSkaterDood]

this song is tight as what

[Deadhammer666]

what a nazi ,why is he singing "whole white world" ? and as if he sings "white" in the way that he makes it clear it is not "wide"

[ricardoff22222]

@Deadhammer666 Yeah, sure. He'd go the whole "white" world just to "fight" here. He's a total nazi lol

[TheOriginalDabeer]

@Deadhammer666 ...wow, there i so much wrong with you ya idiot. For starter, if anyone here is racist, it's you for not understanding what an accent is. Oh, and if ya think that by calling people "Nazi'" you're "edgy", then you're fucking wrong. I'm sick of idiots like you making stupid and annoying comments. So please, next time, either think before typing, or just cut your damn hands off. Oh, btw, great song/cover imo.

[Deadhammer666]

@TheOriginalDabeer hhahha trolololo , i was doing your mother , and she was licking dog's butt while he was defecating

[PondRiversong]

@TheOriginalDabeer Yeah - right on! He's so wrong he's funny.

[drumjoey]

@Deadhammer666

HAHAHAHAHA !!!!!! I agree my man. I agree.

[PondRiversong]

@Deadhammer666 Wow - I am impressed that you have displayed your stupidity so proundly. It takes guts to voluntarily make such an arse of yourself.

[Deadhammer666]

@PondRiversong wow , who is more stupid , guy who states that he was trolling , or the guy that fall for it anyway.. suck my cock dickheadish rancid cucumber as you suck the cock of your father who is pedophile priest named John Paul II

[jigmesam]

Meh. Not a great cover.

[turxx666]

i stand corrected

tho i think wreckless eric was better

[hubetek]

Yup I got whole wide world finde her true but I don't have whole life time to that ;)

[Magnamarak]

Little did he know

[beachbum3451]

doesnt work sry everyone

[jdkit]

trying to decide how this compares to the original. Doesnt have that punky sound, but the lads accents are class

[turxx666]

@jdkit the original was by the monkees, and this one is a little closer to the sound of the original then the version used in the movie, and either is probably better then the monkees tbh

[jdkit]

@turxx666 . ah, cheers.

[karvysgirl]

@turxx666 The orininal was by Wreckless Eric, The Monkees covered it, The Prolaimers knocked it out of the park.

[avionictecholg1]

I would walk 500 miles

[jasonejohnson31]

Hmmm, I like this version better. Better guitar and the duo singing gives a better sound. That is just my opinion. If you don't like it, you can just keep listening to the other version. I really don't care what you think.

[omnivorecore]

@xinfectedhunterx it is absolutely a cover. wreckless eric released this song in the late 70's. it even mentions him in the description. this is the proclaimers version almost 30 years later and its horrible.

[Muradmb1986]

Can I Like It Twice!?!?

reat Song

[Muradmb1986]

Niiiiiiiiiiiice

[ShabazApple]

They look different now

[Tomos17451]

@ShabazApple Cpt. Obvious strikes again!

[avionictecholg1]

@ShabazApple well no shit they are old

[orlielf]

interesting in contrast to the mentals version but i like

[RHMETAL]

Thumbs up if you did a very slow "DA DA DA DA" at the end of the chorus.

[RHMETAL]

And I would go the whole wide world. And I would go the world once more. Just to be the man who found out where they hide you and go the world once more. DA DA DA DA!

[thenamesbondy]

French Polynesia is nowhere near Australia. It might be in the Pacific but you don't realise how big the Pacific Ocean is!

[dejanvul]

Nice cover.

[GuilhermeCosta1992]

Why is the girl from Haiti dressed as a girl from Hawaii?

[23matip]

@GuilhermeCosta1992 Well... the girl is from tahiti no haiti....

[GuilhermeCosta1992]

@23matip And they dress like girls from Hawaii?

[23matip]

@GuilhermeCosta1992 Yes... Do you know where is tahiti?

[GuilhermeCosta1992]

@23matip It's in French Polynesia near Australia... 

[nikolodeon55]

haha scotish right? xD

[karvysgirl]

As cute as the wink at the end is, I think it is the ever so slight smile that accompanies it, that appeals to me.

[Lisarata]

Those guys have really nice faces. A loov thar accints.

[Ruebun]

its a video effect, i think its the same guy singing and playing guitar, they just made it blurry for an effect

[karvysgirl]

@Ruebun No they are identical twins, Craig and Charlie Reid. Very nice guys in person.

[Fpsmason]

Stranger than Fiction

[carwyn345]

why the hell do you never see the other guy , he is always blured or somthing :L

[1wolfoutlaw]

WE NEED MORE FROM THE PROCLAIMERS, REAL MUSIC, NOT LIKE THE SHIT TODAY IN THE FAKE CHARTS.

[RespIendency]

what a shit video, these fit bitches wont look twice at their ugly mugs

[anotherkindofcold]

@RespIendency ... I know this might be hard for your troll brain to wrap around, but rock stars usually get just about any girl they want, and if they can't have her, they can find a girl who looks pretty similar. Not saying that's a good thing. Just saying that you're a turd.

[thejacobabbe]

@anotherkindofcold You mean hook up with just about any girl* Lets face it... no one wants to marry one lol

[wrestlingzakkatticus]

@anotherkindofcold maybe, but the same cant be said for these 2 guys..

[anotherkindofcold]

@wrestlingzakkatticus I totally forgot about this cover, and the comment I responded to... thank you, Wrestling Zakk Atticus! I can't believe that comment got 15 thumbs up.

[VasilisBotoulas]

@RespIendency fag

[IBedtimeCookies]

stranger than fiction

[Jumbomomo]

@IBedtimeCookies Truer than fact

[omnivorecore]

@IBedtimeCookies and all 52 thumb uppers need to listen to the one of the original recordings. this proclaimers version unfortunately drained every drop of soul and passion out of it. the wreckless eric version (original) however is wonderful and it is also the version that is in stranger than fiction.

[mesupermommy]

@IBedtimeCookies My favorite movie ever!!

[IBedtimeCookies]

@mesupermommy i love it too! made me think alot about life and i developed a new fear of a wrecking ball coming through my room from that movie

[MoxyMan1]

hollyyy shittt!!! thier old now!!!

[lilianaproductions]

@xiJON3SYx woops sorry :(

[Onami3]

Haha his wink at the end...

[karvysgirl]

@Onami3 Charlie's wink IS awsome, It is his personality. Very congenial, nice guy. Glad to have met them.

[ezio95kal]

failest remade ever!

[crazycanuck63]

I love these guys!! they are so cool and their songs are even cooler!!!

[haj1909]

@crazycanuck63 Not really 'their song' per se.  Wreckless Eric did it in ´78 and the Monkees in ´88. Both versions were far superior.

[joshhorne]

@haj1909 And Nick Flora did it in 2011. :)

[twardykamen]

this is gay version?

[MrChainDipper]

i think its funny how the quitar in the song is eletric and yet the twin in the back is playin acustic, lol

[xavierrrr]

@MrChainDipper You can plug these things in these days :p I think the twin in the background is Charlie

[NewestNuma]

ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT this is the best I have ever heard and I am a little proud to say I am part Scottish.

Definitely will subscribe to such music mastery and harmony.  Fantastic..

True Love not necessarily is within a few blocks of where you live.

[lilianaproductions]

i like singing this song with an irish accent now(:

[amacdonald27]

@lilianaproductions they're scottish

[lilianaproductions]

@StrangeIsMyWorld uh ok?

[lilianaproductions]

@StrangeIsMyWorld GOD DAM im sorry! it was an accident! and how do you know I like fantastic mr. fox and twilight? and who are you to tell me that they're crap?

[lilianaproductions]

@StrangeIsMyWorld um excuse me? i have no idea what the fuck your problem is but I guess if you want to play stereotypes based off of well, nothing really, im gonna guess your some asshole in someother country that cant get a girl unless you pay her huh? you don't know me, and I don't know you. your what i think is wrong with the world, the first chance you get to make someone feel like crap or put them in this stereotypical category, you jump to it. and it's disgusting. 

[lilianaproductions]

@StrangeIsMyWorld ok well im not some loose white girl, im fucking 15 so if i were you i would be a little more open minded or something

[StrangeIsMyWorld]

@lilianaproductions You're 15! God I really am sorry I was such and insensitive Judgmental egotistical fuckwit. I mean that. So very sorry. You love whatever movies you want. But if you like "Fantastic Mr. Fox" and you're still a Teen you should rent "Rushmore" its a quirky teen movie by the same director. Try and track down the trailer. if you like it netflix it. In fact every film by this director is worth checking out. Again I am so sorry. Also feel free to sing in any accent you want ;)

[lilianaproductions]

@StrangeIsMyWorld *sigh* ok its fine i forgive easy. and hmmm.... i like the word fuckwit(: im gonna used it in the future if needed. and yea I'll totally check it outt, worth a shot a guess. and yea next time, before you go onsome rampage, calm down haha.

[ILoveKlaine11]

The replay button has been raped repeatedly.

I can't get enough of this song!

<3

[JED1138]

hmmm... they both have crooked noses. they point toward each other???

[GARY171064]

Just seen/heard this for the first time...I'm an old punk and remember the original...this version is brilliant...respect to the Proclaimers.

[natobanatotoo]

The Proclaimers Rock! I love their harmony! Good to see that that they covered a cool song!

[akrOzx]

Never give up the search, your better half is somewhere looking for you. Do not settle, never ever stay with a person that you dont truly love. Seriously, that person you've been dreaming of since you was a kid does exist, you just got to believe it. True love is what life's about, not money, not success, not all that bullshit they make you believe. I know someday I will find my better half, hope you do too!

[JED1138]

@akrOzx we all settle...people who hold out for a mystical romance like it is fabricated on film end up dying alone. very sorry for the bluntness-just my experience from the people around me. but hey,,,good luck.

[aokateoleary]

Great musically, terrible visually. I saw a way better amateur vid right here

from youTube poster named acidsway. Her visuals accompany the Wreckless Eric (best) version.

[Soul23Stealer]

The original is good but I think they did justice. Also Will Farrell is an alright singer but did not sing this song that good. If you think he did you have no taste in music lol.

[tonysoccerful]

se saleeeee

[elideeann]

I actually really like this version.

[aleusi2788]

Woah! only those guys can play an acustic guitar making electrical sounds XD

[PsychoDrive]

The original song are better... And the Will Ferrer Version Rocksssss

[susannamagnamara]

@PsychoDrive yeah will Ferrer make it better. love it

[XxV3dG3xX]

i actually like this version..haha. its pretty awesome, but i can deal with out the close ups on him..haha

[caliguy10]

@TheBorntobomb Cool man.

[Mr07fxdc]

If it isn't Scottish, it's crap! I love these guys.  Thanks for posting this video.

[preston4eva12]

110 people wouldn't go the whole wide world

[caliguy10]

Man this song is bad ass!

[TheBorntobomb]

@caliguy10 is that de good bad ass or good lol

[TheBorntobomb]

@caliguy10 is that de good bad ass or good lol plus if u think dis is gd u should listen to 500 miles

[narlyandtuff101]

I think the flock of you where just one click too soon because there is no point in discourteous behavior towards people who can sing. Hence how many of you can actually express your true tongue?

[davlon0]

this version is not anything close to the amazing raunchiness of the original

[opinoxkekiero]

Os falta sangre pareja!!

[oso976]

I bet this one got them laid. lol Great song

[karvysgirl]

I think that the version you prefer is dictated by what style of music you like. For me The Proclaimers hit this out of the park!.. I have listened to W.E and the Monkees version. To my ear this is golden.

[pacskye]

@karvysgirl I agree. This is brilliant. Very beautiful.

[Pottersuperfan4eva]

anyway about the song! I still think Eric is better! <3

[ruachewtoy]

i dunno; the whole wide world? i'd walk 500 miles, maybe 500 more. tops.

[Pottersuperfan4eva]

@ruachewtoy wow..... a girl wants a guy who would do anything for her! Even search the "whole wide world" for her. Hmm looks like your not it.

[reneluna007]

@ruachewtoy hahahaha! good one!

[crysjumar1]

@ruachewtoy you need to stop!  LOL

[bezzyturner]

This is the first time I've heard this version...it sucks! :(

Wreckless Eric is obviously the best, (and I love Will Ferell's version!) but my favourite version is by Aussie band Mental as Anything...it's not on YouTube or I'd post a link - you can listen on itunes if you want to hear it though.

[volspack]

the version that is available to buy sounds different than this one...in a bad way. this version has an electric guitar in the beginning, the other one doesnt.

[LadyJenocide]

This version is not bad. But Wreckless Eric's version was better. =x

[crazycanuck63]

These guys are just simply "THE REAL DEAL" !!! Thank God for these two very talented twins!!!

[ajayisonfire]

They really like going long distances don't they?

[mboutsa]

@ajayisonfire this comment made my day :) ty

[samspadesdooman]

@ajayisonfire LMAO! I don't care where you're from... that's fuuny!!

[peasncarrots92]

it's okay but i perfer wreckless eric

[karvysgirl]

Really people? Get over it, ANYONE can like ANY music they choose. Grow up and enjoy the music for what it is. GREAT MUSIC!

[daffodil97]

why pontin really travels

[isniino]

108 CANT FIND HER! :(

[ax31rebound]

This is bad so look up the original way BETTER :Whole Wide World - Wreckless Eric

[JohnVAce]

@ax31rebound Listened to it. It wasn't way better. It was different, maybe better if it was the version you fell in love with or what ever, but it wasn't "Better".

[Yamakashi1]

waawwaaww

[Thrust4Money]

yes Proclaimers, fkin sick

[LoganBlackP]

They're always singing about walking 500 miles or searching the whole wide world to find a girl. Has anyone told them about E harmony?

[villamartinfun]

How to kill a song, little emotion unlike the original, only one Wreckless!!!

[DRichards705]

@villamartinfun I agree the Wrestless Eric version is better, but I'm pretty sure they just did a cover also. I think the song was originally done by The Monkeys. They did a version anyways and I am pretty sure they are a lot older than either the proclaimers or Wrestless Eric. I actually rather liked the monkeys version too.

[villamartinfun]

@DRichards705 The song was written by Eric Goulden (Wreckless Eric) in 1974 and recorded in 1977, the Monkees covered it in 1987 on a reunion tour. Never heard the latter version but will try to find it.

[DRichards705]

@villamartinfun Wow I really hadn't thought Wreckless Eric was that old. The sound of their version actually seems the one closest to music in present times. Well guess I stand corrected :)

[whoviangirl13]

Gotta love Scottish geeks.

[lovebrittney6]

He found me, and he told me he listened to this song when he was young. We're going to meet this summer for the first time. He's in the UK, and I'm in Canada.

We're in love. :)

[ggw1973]

Alright. "You're old fashioned."

[jijijotalex]

simple y hermoso =)

[jijijotalex]

Gran cancion =)

[vitorsam]

106 persons don't have mama speaking

[sisman4132]

Will Ferrell's voice is way better...

[herstarbelly]

@sisman4132 YES!

[Hunter902171]

@sisman4132 So true <3

[CrazyHappyBlueMonkey]

@sisman4132 fucking mumbly and amazing, full of passion. quiet passion.

[chrisdavid4026]

@sisman4132 wreckless eric did it best of all

[cindyliciousXD]

@sisman4132 I found this song because of Stranger than Fiction <3

[philWynk]

@sisman4132 ...but Wreckless Eric's accents are way cooler.

[coollookingidiots]

@philWynk So true lol

[sisman4132]

@StrangeIsMyWorld Its true and you know it.. If not, then you dont have any taste of music..
