As a Bostonian I already threw the R away! I love a Scottish brogue. I hired a guy once just because of his accent!

Fuck, these guys are beautiful. Especially the one on the right.

@Forbzyful Just all part of being Scottish man. Never gonna flatten my vowels, and through my R's away.

wow great song btw in my music lesson at school we listend to this song cause are project is scotland!!

[Forbzyful]

I feel the pain in this song, I have the same accent as these guys and my English and Irish friends (of which I have many) sometimes laugh at me me when I pronounce certain words and it is literally for the reasons in the song; my vowels are really heavy and I almost sounds like I put emphasis on my R's.

I'm still proud of it though ;-)

@gallifreyangirl99 But judging by your username you seem to be Gallifreyan. Tell that to people when they ask you where you're from. And when they ask where Gallifrey is, you can tell them: "Ireland." Or you can say, solemnly: "It burned."

And Welsh is AWESOME.

[sternbergzookie]

@booknplays I commend you for that. :-)8

[gallifreyangirl99]

i nearly punched a guy the other day because he followed me around all day asking me where in England i was born. it isnt my fault i don't have an epic Scottish accent! my mum is welsh! and i use a lot of polysyllabic words. like polysyllabic.

[PureZOOKS]

A very underrated song. I mean, just playing that intro makes you instantly sexy as f*ck.
