    The Proclaimers are a Scottish twin brother duo who recorded this song in 1988. I love this catchy tune & remember when it came out. The song was used in the American film "Benny & Joon" in 1993.

    Now you’ve gotta watch “Benny and Joon,” the film from which that video originated. It’s a very, very good movie… Johnny Depp, Mary Stuart Masterson, Aidan Quinn ALL give phenomenal performances in a quirky little story that’ll be sure to steal your heart… and make you laugh along the way. It’s a touching movie.

    The proclaimers are a Scottish band made up of the twins Craig and Charles Reid. They were told to lose the Scottish accent to make it. They didn’t and are still going strong

      @therooster3478 they have had more than one hit and I think still touring with 40 years in the industry while releasing new music in the last few years is going strong. Their 2022 album hit #6 in the uk.

    Years ago this song was used for a Molson canadian beer commercial.
    The guy walks 500 miles over the rockies to purchase a case and drops it at the border, just to turn around and walk 500 more. Classic

    This song always makes me think of the show "How I met your Mother". Jason Segal's character had this groups cassette tape stuck in his car's tape player and every time there was a scene in his car, this song would be playing in the background. It always made me laugh.
    Thanks for posting this Shon. Great reaction.

    If you like identical twins you should check out The Peanuts. They were a Japanese Pop duo active from 1959 - 1975. They have music in both Japanese and English. Also, for Godzilla fans, they were the original Mothra fairies. They would sing the song that calmed Mothra. They were known for being slightly off in timbre making it sound like they were double tracking. I like anything they do but Tokyo Blue Rain and Koi no Fuga are a couple of my favorites.

    identical twins charlie and craig reid from my parents city leith in edinburgh are soon to be 63.
    the video showing a johnny depp movie(benny and joon)that's quite rare in that his character doesn't have makeup,an elaborate/bright coloured costume and no specially created voice.he does do tricks that buster keaton did though.
    they have a british film that uses their songs one of which is the title sunshine on leith.

    Loved this Group since i was a young lass in Boston, MA with very Scottish Parents. Boston, J.Giels Aerosmith, The Cars, and Fleetwood Mac were my go to's but the Proclaimers really spoke to my heart, all their songs are worth a listen Sunshine on Leith and Streets of Edinburgh are outstanding. It's awesome watching you explore all the genre's of music thank you!

    @shon1303 I'd like to see your reaction to The Proclaimers song Then I Met You. It was nowhere near as popular in the US as I'm Gonna Be (500 miles), but it is another great song by them. They're a good band. They were more popular overseas; it's a shame they are considered a one hit wonder in the US.

    The first time I heard this song (well before it was used in Benny and Joon) , it led me to immediately go out and purchase the album that it’s from “Sunshine on Leith”. While most people know this song , they’re not familiar with the rest of the album , which is a shame , because Sunshine on Leith is still one of my favourite albums of all time.
