I think I'll be passing on this one I'm afraid

Proclaimers get my vote but not one of their strongest. They didn’t sing it in their Manchester gig last year. The other “song” is an abomination.

 

[hilts]

Very formulaic from the wee Scottish twin lookalikes and as I like monkeys tother one gets it.

 

[bennyboy]

Proclaimers are shite.Like the team they support.
Nothing else to say on the matter.

Can't stand proclaimers - Air have produced miles better than this but still not even close in my mind...........

 

[BlueHammer85]

Not a bad effort from The Proclaimers but that layered reverb sound from Air wins it for me.

 

[journolud]

Not massive on either but the Proclaimers sing like they mean it so they get my vote.

Extra security being bought in for match-day 19.

Two very different choices. I don't know that much of The Proclaimers beyond their first two albums but they have always struck me as genuine guys who write heartfelt music. They're quite sentimental but the older I get the less I care about being seen likewise.

Though Sexy Boy was Air's big breakthrough big hit, I think it does them a bit of a disservice in terms of showcasing who they are and what they are about. There's better on Moon Safari which is quite eclectic as is much else of their work.

If it had been a different Air song it would probably have won but I'm going with The Proclaimers.
