Pulled From The Coronation Playlist, Voted Down By Scotland's Own Fans: The Proclaimers' 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)' Became Scotland's World Cup Goal Song This Summer [News]

Features: Craig Reid wrote "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" in 45 minutes while waiting on a lift to a gig in Aberdeen. Chrysalis released it in 1988, and barely anyone noticed. Five years, one film soundtrack, and a Comic Relief re-record later, it finally gave The Proclaimers their only UK No.1, then got voted off Scotland's own football terraces and pulled from a royal playlist. It's still the song they can't get off stage without playing.
