When I wake up, yeah I know Im gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know Im gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And If I get drunk, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver whatever that means
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door etc

RATBAG :mad: :help: :rant: :D :D

PMSL!! :lol:

Even if you walked at an average speed of 20 miles a day, a journey of 500 miles would take nearly a month, by which time the object of the singer's affections would have grown tired of waiting for him and probably slept with his best mate.

To avoid such an outcome, surely it would be better to drive 500 miles or take the train?

Or teleport by mind transfer

That would be cool

I hate that song with a passion.

After watching Scrubs recently I ended up with A little respect by Erasure stuck in my head for aaaaaaaaaaaaggggeeess! Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY_8woQ-HEA

what a wierd coincidence it is that the procliamers have got a 'greatest hits' album out so soon after the comic relief single

Aww... I didn't know it was a love song. Never really noticed the lyrics. :P

havering means talking nonsense.

Yeah, havering means talking rubbish, rabbiting on, talking a lot but not really saying anything. As in "What are you havering about now?" Similar to bleathering

The thing is this Don, when you go will you send back a letter from America? I was just wondering.

havering means talking nonsense. Used north of the border - obviously! But in the local parlance - twaddle! :hihi:

That is rather good! Whenever i hear the original now I'll start singing the wrong words. :)

Anyone get the urge to shout Bobby Davro?

Shout or Shoot?

Me too and I keep seeing two men in wheelchairs AAARRGHHHHH :loopy:

what's wrong with two men in wheelchairs?

Shout or Shoot?

Well now you mention it :hihi:

havering means talking nonsense.
It's also a London Borough (but a lot of people don't know that) and anyway who are /were the Proclaimers?

The Proclaimers also did a song where he sings about losing his virginity, which then plants images in my head of having sex with a Proclaimer, which is the stuff of nightmares and far more traumatic than having a mere tune in your head. I'd frankly rather walk 500 miles. In fact if a Proclaimer was trying to chat me up, I'd probably run them...

Imagine being the meat in a Proclaimers sandwich.......

This is such an annoying song!! I've noticed it always gets put on at 'cheesy' student nights and everyone starts 'ironically' jumping about. Arrgh! It's one of those songs that can't even amuse me when I'm drunk!

I feel I must say at this point that a good friend of my sister's childhood best friend is married to one of the Proclaimers... :suspect: I don't know which one though :hihi:

I loved that song when the proclaimers sang it

They're 2 Scottish identical twins who've had several "hits" over the years, they were mainly big around the late 80s/early-mid 90s really when they originally released "I'm gonna be (500 miles)".

Why though? Just, why? The original was cheesy enough without some unknown pair of twonks bastardising it for charity! :loopy:

But I agree, the new version is pants.
