The Proclaimers returned to the charts yesterday and went straight into the number one position. Their classic “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” was one of the songs of this year’s Comic Relief, although this version is a collaboration with Brian Potter from Phoenix Nights (aka Peter Kay) and Andy Pipkin from Little Britain (aka Matt Lucas).

The song originally charted in August 1988, although it only reached number 11 then.

Nice to see the brothers back in the charts! Here’s the “original” video. (I say original, but it was used in the 90s film Benny & Joon, which is why you’ll keep seeing Johnny Depp all over it.) Come on now: “LA LA LA LAAA! LA LA LA LAAA!”
