daveyhmfc Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Just heard this song on radio Scotland. Still gives me goosebumps to this day. Best Scotland song in my opinion. None of this 500 miles crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this 500 miles crap. Great song that people could identify with and really broke the mold of football songs. Still rate it the best of all time and brings back great memories of the trip to the World Cup in Spain .... if only Willie Miller and Alan Hansen had kept out of each others road then my decision to stay 3 weeks would have been justied !

People could identify with and have a laugh/joke/poke fun at Scotland in a good way back then... I remember when Del Amitri released "Don't come home too soon" for France 98 I said to my mate "we'll never qualify for another one after this as the songs are just too pish noo.."..

SwindonJambo Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Sales were so strong that it got well into the top 10 in the UK, enabling the 15 yo me to buy it locally here, having moved South with my family the year before. Remember singing along to it with my wee brother and sister. For my money, the pick of some very cheesy World Cup songs. Did we even have one for 1986 ?

I believe it was called something like "We're on the big trip to Mexico". That was some of the lyrics anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been proved right I think.. I was doing work experience in HMV in Argyll Street when Del Amitri did the signing for that song. My job was to staple the posters to the boards to sit behind them and I felt ashamed to be doing it. Didnt even stay for their performance of it because it was an awful tune. I shudder to think who would do the song for us if we qualified again. Amy Mcdonald!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
