- The article you're concerned about, reckon it's pukka. 500 miles was indeed a track by the bespectacled Proclaimers, and the track is on the spunge album. [1] --Sgkay 15:42, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Recent discussion over on Yahoo Answers on this question revealed a bit of missing info about a Less Than Jake cover here. I'm not sure what the general Wikipedian stance on that kind of info is(it seems kind of obscure - but it's dificult to find, and having it here is probably a good resource for people trying to learn about the song), but I'm adding it to the main article, with appropriate links, and hoping someone will clean up after me. This is my first edit, so if I'm doing anything wrong, please contact me to let me know. Thanks! --Orbus 19:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC) (Wasn't sure where to put my source link in the article, so I've put it here: [2]
[edit] "500 Miles"?
Currently "500 Miles" redirects here. This is also the title of a traditional (at least I think) folk song popularized in the 1960's by Peter, Paul & Mary, Hedy West, and others. Are the two titles even related? -MrFizyx 03:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UK Download Chart
This song has shot up in the UK Download chart, from position 115 to 52... could this have anything to do with The MacDonald Brothers singing it recently on The X Factor? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
