* ArtisticLicensePhysics: [[PlayedForLaughs Played for]] BlackComedy in the music video for "There's a Touch". With the help of video editing, the brothers survive falling off a tall building, getting hit by a car, and even being crushed by a helicopter crash, with only a few minor injuries. Needless to say, they likely would ''not'' have survived any of the above accidents if they actually happened.

The Proclaimers are a Scottish [[FolkMusic Folk Rock]] band based around identical twins Charlie and Craig Reid. The group started as an acoustic duo with just the brothers before expanding into a full Rock group for their second album. They're known universally for their 1988 single "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and their thick Scottish brogues, but they've had other hits in the UK and Ireland with "Letter from America" and "King of the Road", and "I'm On My Way" was featured in ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}''. While their song subjects center around SillyLoveSongs and the struggles of familial life, [[HiddenDepths listeners may be surprised to find serious discussion of Scottish politics and independence]].
