It may be a karaoke classic, but ‘I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)’ by The Proclaimers has been voted the Scottish song that most music fans would like to see Eminem cover when he headlines T in the Park this summer (9th-11th July).
The Proclaimers’ iconic hit topped the poll to mark Eminem headlining this year’s T in the Park, his only UK festival appearance of 2010.
Indie favourites Travis stole second spot with sing-a-long anthem ‘Why Does it Always Rain On Me’, whilst Scottish stalwart Rod Stewart could only manage third place with his racy hit ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy’.
