"I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" is a song written and performed by Scottish pop band The Proclaimers. It was released on their 1988 Sunshine on Leith album, and subsequently as a single. It has become one of their most popular songs, reaching No. 11 in the UK charts and No. 1 on the Australian ARIA Charts in 1989, plus, five years later, No. 3 in the US Billboard Hot 100. The song has become a live staple at their concerts. Peter Griffin tried singing it with them once in the recording studio, but it didn't really work out, as seen in a cutaway in "You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives".
