jester Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 There is a bit of a campaign to get the Proclaimers song Cap In Hand to the top of this weeks chart. Please help by downloading it from itunes or amazon.

Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 As much as I support independence, and I respect the two lads for their efforts, but getting a Proclaimers song to #1? Hmm... I'm almost tempted to keep the union.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Any song having a wee dig at the ferryfuckers gets my vote IN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's currently 35th in the iTune charts. It's gonna need to really take off to have a half decent chance. I remember their was a campaign for a WWE wrestler called Fandango to have his theme in the top 40 and he had a wee spell of being in the lower teens of the iTunes chart and still eventually never made the weeks top 40.

Casual Bystander Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The BBC would refuse to play it, in the same way they did after the Thatcher "tribute" song, claiming it has political overtones that would result in bias if played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've loved this song for years, back then I was more sympathetic to the lyrics but its still a great wee tune with some good lines, as I recall, Hibs goalie at the time was Goram who I would hazard a guess will be a NAW voter ironically.

Enigma Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Top of the amazon charts, to get it no.1 on the official charts would be quality. Imagine what would happen if we still had TOTP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect Device Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Clearly that part is a lie. It wasn't at the time. Well before the string of useless fuckers they signed recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I've got this on my iPod but have never actually paid attention to the lyrics / meaning until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10 CC ICT Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I see "Cap in Hand" is concurrently at No. 1, 29 & 86 in the Amazon download chart coming from 3 separate albums. If you want to buy it use this link to keep it at No. 1. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cap-In-Hand/dp/B001J8QYCU/ref=zg_bs_digital-music-track_1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
