One of the most pleasant and catchy "fuck you"s ever expressed.
The whole album honestly
35-odd years later, still fresh as a daisy. A desert island disc contender for this anglo saxon
2023 and i STILL LOVE the pair of THEM !! SECOND TO NONE !! pure scottish revalations !! PROUD AS FCK !!
A musical masterpiece. Simple but boots you right in the baws!
We’re you in stiff Little Fingers
@@scottfraser7118 Guy with my name was.
The Balls Jake...
They are kings of music. no discussion.
Those backing vocals are fantastic
I was just thinking it's almost a duet
Holy Christ I practically had a spiritual experience being a lil drunk and singing along with this, what an amazingly fun song
Makes my Scots accent get a bit stronger after singing along, no bad thing
These guys have talent dripping from their pores. Much love from America.
"Saxon" is both very underrated and underused as an insult.
What’s your point?
@@marc7983 his point is it's a very underrated and underused insult. Not particularly unclear to be honest, are you a saxon?
@@onapermo😂😂😂 must be!
I have been thinking about this comment for three years
So I am learning Norwegian.
They said I had an awful accent, and this song popped into my head, except I changed Saxon to Nordic and threw the T away.
Thanks to the very late, great Radio with Pictures (in NZ), I found out about The Proclaimers and many others years before they made it big.
Thanks Karen and Dick.
Absolutely genius lyrics!
auld scots language apart fae safe quaint 'Burns nights' has always been derided and now almost gone even though it is a distinct and written history of a once independent nation..i remember at school in the 70's being told not to speak in a certain way or I would not 'get on' ... get tae ya bass..
how does this not have millions of views wtf
This is modern day braveheart
Classic, classic, classic.
Super Duper singing. Love it.
Such a great song.
Brilliant lads xx
Love the Proclaimers
The current situation adds new relevance to the line "Throw the R "away ! Bet Matt Hancock wishes he could
I remember my friend went to America on holiday and was asked where she came from, she said Scotland, the person then said that her English was very good!!!
The best song i ever heard! ❤
A diss track against the entire English people. Gotta love it
I remember them performing it on the ITV Saturday morning show of the time. I also have their first album on cassette.
This is so good, I love it : )
Totally awesome and brilliant
"Refuse to hee-ah"
Sounds like throwing the r away to me.
Words n tunes tis brilliabr
All I want for Christmas is a karaoke version
I visited Edinburgh in 1984 and had a terrible time just ordering shepherds pie and tea. The teenaged girl taking my order in Waverly Station was undecipherable to my American ears. The Proclaimers sing with a slight Scottish accent compared to her. This song is no exaggeration.
This is so funny. The Edinburgh accent is probably the most posh/easy to understand of most Scot accents
You'd have a stroke in Glasgow haha
@@lunarl There are many different accents in Edinburgh. As in every city there are posh and not so posh ones.
Can someone please translate, I fear my governess may implode.
Brilliant
REALMENTE EXCELENTES 👌 💕💞
I used to smoke meth and listen to this song on repat
I still don't understand what anyone could have against scottish accents.
The junkie accent is fucking horrible tbf
Racist Brits be racist
Beurla (English) Spoken better by Scots than the English that made this language up!
As a Scotsman growing up in england I got bullied for my accent so I had to put on a fake accent so I can relate to this song
this is a bop
Love the accent ! ❤
Francis begbie favorit song in the world
Genius
Great
Class
Thanks Todd.
I would marry them both ❣️❤️💔
Finally some Scottish not Americans this band is just perfect
Poetry
Ta lads from LFC ❤️👍⚽️
Their first album, up there wi stone roses n beatles.😊
Jesus Christ.
I accidentally left it on 1.5x
Was pretty impressed with that guitar work for a minute XD
Us Scots ur class ❤
RavynSkye1 I'm sorry to tell you this, you are incorrect.
We say "Shit" which rhymes with "hit", but since we often use swearing as punctuation we have another word "shite" which rhymes with "might" or "white"
Also I refuse to take lessons of pronunciation from an, and forgive me if you aren't, American.
You can't even pronounce Jaguar properly.
This has to be of the most brilliantly silly things I've ever heard.
If you had any clue what they were talking about then you wouldn't come out with pish like that. Bawbag.
at that time itsm. well a e soft, private version of ethnic cleansing.
which they answered with a cute song.
trying to force a dialect or sociolect out of people isn't cool..
even tho I haven't understood a 3rd of what they sung, but Im not a nativ speaker...
Im English and here in 2023 lovin this. I have their album, love the accent. Love how they say "Clown"
RRRRR 😸
the lyrics are so damn funny!!!
How have they looked 40 since their 20s?
the last real punk band.
And just like punk they grew old and mellowed out of their rebellion.
@@cowboybeep3542 unlike you, calling yourself Bear🙄
Lol they’re making their accents extra heavy to annoy the people complaining
The Poclaimes
Also when you say “flatten all the vowels” all I hear is “f*ck all the vowels”
I've been so sad
Since you said my accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
It seems your still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
Oh what can I do
To be understood by you
Perhaps for some money
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
I think your still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear
He's been so sad
Since you said his accent was bad
He's worn a frown
This Caledonian clown
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
Flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
R
Pleases MY ear, you sexy nerds!
Ammaw furratt ken
Braw
This was how it started right, they were laughed out of the studios, didnt think the accent would cut it. u never amount to anything as a musician with that scottish accent, throw the R's away.
Totally thought they said sassanach rather than Saxon...
Un fucking real
This song makes me want to learn scottish and be heart broken by a american lady
My saxxon ears don't understand this.
Good
It’s really not hard to understand
F
To pay respect
I actually know someone that can't say the word r amazing real shame.
A jolly little number. Sadly there's no subtitles.
Naw there's no but ye dinnae need thum
5-1
The Po Claimers
You mean the poclaimes
phylwx - LOL, Scots say "Shit" as "Shaight", which would rhyme with "White", while Americans say it as "Shit", which rhymes with "Spit". It sure would be a lot easier though, if English adopted the Japanese way of dealing with vowels... they always sound the same, no matter what is around them, so there is no such thing as a long or short 'o', it's always just "o" as in "Show", and the same for the other vowels. XD;
In Scotland "shit" and "shite" are two different words
rjksduncan Would you explain the difference, friend?
shit is quite literally what comes out of your ass. shite is a swear word.
btw you can also say "pish" (for piss) in the same swear word context
@@olliegarkey6446 Watch Kevin Bridges explain it. You can find his skit on YT.
So embarrassing that two men with clearly non-rhotic accents are singing about keeping r's.
If you think this is "non-rhotic" you're deaf.
WTF😂 Open your ears.
Annoying camera work. Let the music speak for itself, ffs.
Who can't understand a word he says? We can all understand you - you silly person. What is it with these people that they love to try to identifying themselves as victims?
crocusinmay may the whole point of the song is he’s talking about a really posh British girl and he’s a really dorky Scott. The whole songs a joke
Back in th 80s they where pressured to change their accents
@@paulmckenna2346 you are so wrong. Its about the American music industry who asked them to tone their accents down. Its a protest song. Also I'll tell you this for free. English is a mongrel tongue, there are Scots words in the English language however it is mostly Germanic. Some of you on here haven't a bloody clue
@@jambammz9908 ua-cam.com/video/9YzEx11XECk/v-deo.html Explains it all.
Help ma kilt ! Its a wee joke .
They contort their mouths to such a peculiar and unnatural extent, with the object of making themselves as incomprehensible as possible, then they complain that : "nobody understands a word I say" ! Typical Jocks - always saying 'look at us we're special', whilst claiming victim status at the same time..
Victim status.....😆😆😆....whatever you say mate. Usual drivel from the morris-dancing whippet-botherers. But you got the special bit right.
Man you talk some shite. Maybe if you had a friend you'd feel 'special' too.
you obviously don't listen to any of their interviews or know anything about them! its not to make them incomprehensible!!!
you have a choice, to listen or not to listen to them............ Id say dont listen if you cant understand them
@@laurenhope9662 I never said that I "can't understand them". My point (which obviously alluded you) is that they try desperately to make themselves incomprehensible. The fact that I do understand them perfectly well, is doubtless a disappointment to them. As well as to many other chip-on-shoulder Jocks.
@@baxterenrife Enough with the 'Jock' bawbag
