Seen them live last Thursday at the Edinburgh Playhouse; this song was included. Brilliant band, with a brilliant range of songs...some old, some new...
I'd advise anyone that can go and see them live to do so.
Even Eric himself has admitted its the best cover of this song hes ever heard, if he didnt think that then he wouldnt have joined them on there tour for like 5 nights to sing it with them.
The competition being the Monkeys? I just find it odd how you cut the Proclaimers own original music down and say they are way better then that stuff because of a cover. Bands first and foremost are judged by the original music they create.
I meant what they had done with the cover. they make songs their own. i cant realy be bothered arguing cos i dont give a shit whether you like them or not.
The ghost singer is pretty funny. (Sounds like wind) Shit quality.

this band are world class. They are so much more than 500 miles. Whole Wide World is a good example. And they are better live than Elton John

Yeah, but 500 Miles is a decent song and it is their song. Whole Wide World is one of the greatest songs of all time but it is Wreckless Eric's.

Who said I did not like them? You know that gust of wind that just messed up your hair? Yeah, that was the point flying over your head.
