[takalua911]

Love that accent.

[RaubBock]

oh yeah i love this song :DD

[durexjim]

holy shit is that ewan Mcgregor on the guitar

[spudsucker]

frankie boyles twin brothers

[wryter93]

Love their sound. The heavy Scot's accent MAKES this song unique. Love the accents. And well Gosh, I've never seen a man with more beautiful skin.=)

[00retro]

Hilarious. I think that bass player with the top knot looks like Jeff Bridges.

[VioladorDeLaLey21]

1 scumbag did not walk 1000 miles

[redredshoes]

That bassist (?) with the topknot and puffy-sleeved shirt is PAINFULLY eighties. Bless.

[nurb101]

@redredshoes

That guy is so 80's he farts cocaine

[argyleslice]

Shamrockranger should check facts. Many hits  Shamrock in name was a clue there

[watermelonalaplaya]

Amazing guys.

[domingos123456789]

At the time I had -1 year old

[otgerxc]

Great video

[BulgeDiesel]

I love this song, but I can never hear this song (especially the part from 2:00-2:14) without thinking of the episode of Family Guy where Peter Griffin is in the studio singing the previous mentioned part of the song, then proceeds to start slapping the dude with the guitar while saying, "I'm singing! I"M singing!". :)

[MauerTwins7]

holy shit its david letterman

[sonicguy0]

NO DISLIKES FOR A REASON!!

[Wickism]

Paul Schaffer did his utmost to destroy this version with his idiotic organ playing, but the lads saved the song in spite of him.

[HarveyBacktheBeatles]

I love that they were on letterman even before benny and joon came out

[miamoben]

Gotta get me a pair of those '89 Adidas Chis is wearing!

[vampirekid21]

aren't they canadian

[jofergs]

@vampirekid21 Scottish

[jodyb11]

Does anyone know what happened to the proclaimers. you never hear about them anymore. I wasnt sure if they were dead or just fell off the face of the earth.

[Shamrockrancher]

@jodyb11 1 hit wonders. Happens all the time. They're out by the pool living on royalties (which by the way, is a worthy ultimate goal... write a couple of songs and when the royalty checks start rolling in, grab you a towel. ;-) .

[jofergs]

@Shamrockrancher the proclaimers are a huge and well respected band, with a unique sound. Very busy, with many albums and much loved here in Scotland and abroad by many.

[jofergs]

@jodyb11 Hi, while Scotland is a small country, the proclaimers are massive here and much loved, thay have had many hits and albums and are very succesfull artists!

[bwyfan19]

@jodyb11 They had a song called "On My Way" that is featured in "Shrek".

[themgnt]

@jodyb11 They are still very active. Check out their video for the song Life With You from 2007. Arguably their best song in years.

[YellowMangerCalling]

How could he not understand "Leith?" LOL

[fenix182]

@YellowMangerCalling I hate when Americans/Canadians pronounce Craig "Creg" and Graeme "Grem". I don't get it!

[adamarbabi2]

gotta love how they all do that dance and jezz i had no idea letter man could get CREEPIER

[talisman9000]

Letterman was an idiot then and still is today, total arrogant jackass...

[PhantomSticky]

Everyone loves this song. Whether you play it in a retirement home or right after a Motorhead concert, everyone yells "yeah" and sings along.

[1Venison]

letterman has always scared me......

[InkStudiosVideo]

why is the title have Brackets?

[themgnt]

@InkStudiosVideo Because that is the proper written form of the song title. The lyrics repeat the phrase "..I'm gonna be" throughout the verses. During the chorus the line is "I would walk 500 miles"

[Ch0cable]

@themgnt are they scottish?

[themgnt]

@Ch0cable Yes they are.

[bowbow1970]

@Ch0cable What do you think!! 

[Ch0cable]

@bowbow1970 yeah your a bit fucking late mate. ;D

[VideoMusicManiac]

Great to see this version posted! Now let's see if it can catch to my version posted and now closing on 3 million views!

[themgnt]

@VideoMusicManiac That'd be nice. I've had it up over a year only only in the past week has it started getting proper hits!

[croba0120]

@themgnt

[jezusmylord]

Letterman looked sooo funny back then ; O

[mottosierra]

[CrunkLB303]

[FiestaOnlinexEncore]

[thesheripie]

[Bluefalcon3]

@rocksinger6 I was totally jk about the single thing lol

[DonutLard]

@thesheripie "dancing"*

[bwyfan19]

It should be illegal for anyone without a Scottish accent to sing this song.

[jenglynn9]

@bwyfan19 f u we scottish have produced some great bands,hue&cry simple minds& deacon blue and i could keep going.

[bwyfan19]

@jenglynn9 What are you talking about? I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I never said anything in opposition to Scottish music. I am all for it!

[solefthanded2]

@bwyfan19

fuck off!

[tessakib]

@bwyfan19 There is nothing in the world as sexy as a brogue! ;)

[bwyfan19]

@tessakib haha. Um, I guess that is good to know. I'm no Scotsman, but I have almost gotten to where I can actually talk with one. It comes from having grown up in a church where the pastor and his family were all pure scottish, and well I have a talent for picking up accents, so I had to add the brogue in!

[sonicguy0]

@bwyfan19 AMEN!!

[kukliks999]

@bwyfan19 Except Ted and Marshal

[TheVividvirtuoso]

@bwyfan19 Aye.

[flyingscotsman92]

@bwyfan19 It is actually illegal

[StevoPivo]

Why were they not on the "wee" stage (which supported the guitar playing hiardresser-phobic) ?

[igorgoiaba]

Wow, a vinyl copy of Sunshine on Leith. I would love to have that.

[mrsjanice25]

this needs ALOT more air time/this is a great video/they do look very young and energetic!

[twinkletwinkle72]

Look at Charlie jumping at the end of the song, lol. Aw they look so young! :)
