Chig's Referendum Countdown - Number 2

#2 The Proclaimers - Cap In Hand

It was only last week that I remembered this song again, when it made number 6 in the Official Scottish Chart (plus #62 in the UK chart and #47 in the UK 'sales only' chart). It's the second track on The Proclaimers 'Sunshine On Leith' album, which I've had since its release in 1988. It doesn't get played much these days(!), so I'd forgotten what a powerful pro-independence song it is, here with a video from the Yes campaign. Still relevant after all these years, just a little less so since devolution, as the twins themselves say in one of the live videos of this on YouTube.
