Name That Tune traveled back to 1988 this morning with “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” from Scottish twins, The Proclaimers, and their album Sunshine of Leith. The song didn’t chart in the United States until 5 years later (1993), when it peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 after appearing on the movie soundtrack to Benny and Joon.
I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) was nominated for an MTV Movie Award for Best Song in a Movie for Benny and Joon.
