The Proclaimers are a Scottish band composed of identical twins Charlie and Craig Reid (born March 5, 1962). They are best known for the songs “Letter from America“, “I’m on My Way“, and “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)“. This last song was a great hit and I remember how some English MTV show hosts used to mock their strong Scottish accent when they first became popular. Actually, The Proclaimers are one of the few bands who do not change their accents when they sing. If you take other examples, such as let’s say The Beatles or Texas, although they have characteristic Liverpudlian and Scottish accents respectively, for some reason they lose it in their songs. This does not happen with the Reid twins, which adds a little spice and regional colour to their singing.
I have chosen “A long long long time ago”, one of my favourite songs from “Hit The Highway” (1994), their third album. You can do a listening comprehension exercise here.
