And how could you be bored by a group that consists of identical twins from Scotland who look like Buddy Holly.
"One Hit Wonder" is a matter of perspective, and The Proclaimers have been celebrated in Scotland for decades, still selling out performances at the time Todd made this video. But in America, they are remembered for only one song - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)". A catchy tune in its own right, it is mainly remembered because it was the lead in song to a Johnny Depp movie that is not that well remembered "Benny and Joon", in which Johnny Depp plays neither of these characters.
Todd did omit an important fact - Scotland's most successful rock star Gerry Rafferty (The guy from Steeler's wheel who had his own enormous solo smash "Baker street") was their producer, and he also was the one who convinced them to have a rock sound.
