Man's not Bot are you ‘man’s not Bot’ because of that TV classic; First Dates and the ‘man’s not hot’ scenes... hilarious scenes and genius name. I share your sense of humour if so... though clearly not your wit, or I’d have that name 😂🤣😂👍
Yep. Sometimes think of whether they get tired of playing this, their one big hit. But you can be sure they never get tired of watching the audience light up with joy when they sing it.
Imagine having a song that's almost 20 years old, that has that much power over a crowd of 50,000 people where they'd dance like that. And i'm getting chills 15 years after watching it.
11matt11 they’re is literally thousands of artists that could do that the Rolling Stones, The Killers, Smashing Pumpkins, U2 , Bob Dylan , Jay Z , Eminem , Drake, even crappy artists like Bieber
Strangely enough this song didn't even get in the top ten here in the uk there best charting song was letter from america which got to no.3 there cover of king of the road reached no.9 beating it as well, but this is such a sing along song it's this that get's remembered
Best road trip song ever ! My husband of 50 years was exactly the man in the song. He was awesome. The kids and I chose this song to send him off on his next journey to be an angel in heaven. We sang it loud as he was taken away. He passed 11 weeks ago. Cheers to you!
I’ve seen a video of a security guard checking Brian May’s lanyard, I’d imagine almost every artist, no matter how famous, at a big event would have some kind of security to clear. Some just choose to hide their lanyards more than others.
I sent this to my sister over a decade ago when she had cancer. Cheered her up so much, I credit it with her cure. Now I'm self-quarantined coronavirus-style, and it's cheering me up. If I survive, I'll credit them again. Love me them Scots.
Luv the crowd's reaction when they recognize the song. Have never seen crowds jump up and down in unison so well here in the states. This is a great feel good tune.
@@guytansbariva2295 Hey big DUMMY, how many 90's artist do you know that came out of Scotland that had one of their songs in a popular movie like "Shrek"? IDIOT 🤣
In these times this is the perfect definition of the real man that sacrafices in his labors to keep his family. Most men walk those miles everyday for their woman and children, with real love, no resentment or judgment. This is certainly a message worth proclaimming.
If I'm ever in a depressed funk this song gets me right out of it. It's physically impossible to listen to this song and stay depressed. Thanks guys! You're my antidepressant of choice. No side effects!
This song is a love song, a drinking song, a marching song, a motivational song and a de facto national anthem all rolled into one. No wonder it is so bloody huge.
Watching the crowd fully enjoy the show and singers perform from bottom of their heart give me chill. Imagine being one at this concert, I would have passed out for sure. What a show I would say 100%
This is probably the most iconic Scottish song ever since it's known worldwide. Love this song! Even David Tennant and the Doctor Who crew made a music video with these guys when he and showrunner Russell T Davies left the series.
"There's a live 8'?" "Yes" "Any good bands?" "Not sure" "Are the proclaimers playing?" "Probably" "Playing 500 miles?" "Definitely" "Give me 50,000 tickets"
I'm a Sassanech but my mum was Sottish so my heart and love has always been with the Scot's, a great people with a fantastic sense of humour and thet have been treated diabolically over the years but are a truly great nation in their own right ... This song is fantastic and these guys are great and should I come to Scotland I hope and pray they'd accept me !!!
Look at that not a single smartphone in sight, just everybody enjoying the atmosphere and vibes. I'd be the exact same in their positions 😍😍😍🏴🏴🏴🏴
reminds me of being in tenerife, with a very very special woman at the time, she was and still is an absolute stunner. my own stupid fault that I let her go. i had the best 12 months of my life with her, never forget you. love you always. x
I used to hear this mostly everyday on STV when Scotland was in the World Cup 98 when I was only 16. I'm 37 now.......ouch. One of the best Scottish songs ever.
A very charismatic band, a cool song, and an enthusiastic crowd...the perfect combination! You Scottish folks are look so cool, it makes me want to visit next time I'm in Ireland...May God bless you, our Celtic cousins!!!
the Scots are a proud people ... I fell in love with the song, feeling it as the ending theme of a very beautiful film. the movie is Body Thieves - Burke & Hare we Italians should learn from you Scots
Maybe there's a Romanian flag I didn't notice, but the one I think you're referring to is flanked by the flags of Comoros and the CAR, so it's most likely the flag of Chad. The two flags look almost identical.
I remeber doing the doors at a we pub in Rutherglen in scotland and it was a 21st party as soon as this came on the whole place was jumping forgot i was working and i joined in what a night thank you Rutherglen for the memories what a bloody amazing night
It's so life affirming to see crowds of joyous people when you are feeling so isolated by social distancing, take heart everyone these times will return when we can all touch and feel each other without fear.
It's a song of dedicated, motivated pilgrimage, love and loyalty - from brothers who have sung many religious-sounding or spiritually-full songs. It transmits love and meaning, simple though it is. The Holy Spirit woz 'ere.
The amazing Jerry Donahue was hired as the guitar player on the original recording and he told me he first heard it while watching the movie Benny and Joon with his daughter Christina. Jerry is a genius guitarist and wonderful person cheers to Jerry. A fan.

There are several songs like that. These guys have hardly corned the market on "lasting songs."
He looks like that 40 year old IT technician at every office ever.

U mean they lol
you know you've made it when you can live off the royalties of one song for the rest of your lives. Hats off to them!!
a lot more than 500 miles!
And they've released 11 studio albums, the latest one in 2018. They have a lot of royalty to collect. =)
A great song!
Ratty songs also generate that sort of cash....
This song, however, has melodic, harmonic and cultural value.
Strangely enough this song didn't even get in the top ten here in the uk there best charting song was letter from america which got to no.3 there cover of king of the road reached no.9 beating it as well, but this is such a sing along song it's this that get's remembered
