Hale & Pace - Letter From Scotland

British Duo - Gareth Hale & Norman Pace

[@SennaStar]

Absolute class that takes me right back to the 90's..

[@veeeks2938]

I'm a Scot and loved their comedy lol.

[@TenaciousDanzig]

Not sure why the algorithm chose to pop this into my feed now, but I'm glad it did. Catchy and funny! Miss Hale and Pace

[@TheBodroy]

I am Scottish and I think this sketch is awesome!

[@davidoftheglen3447]

TheBodroy Same here ,Bro . It's hilarious !

[@anonb4632]

Did Ye Aye ? And me! Not often I enjoy English comics doing Scottish skits but this was spot on.

[@bigwull6789]

Same, it’s fuckin brilliant 😂😂

[@johnwick-vo7ig]

Anon B I thought the 'every Englishman is a bastard' line was fucking hysterical and I'm English.

[@aweescotsdog8358]

I concur ... 5 years on.

[@orionslaver432]

It's easy to forget just how good a pair of singers these two were.

[@simonhartley2772]

Absolutely Top drawer.

[@zakalon123]

Genius. how i miss these guys. They were proper comedians not the tossers that meant to pass as comedians today on British comedy.

[@anonb4632]

zakalon123 It's cheaper just to put an ego in front of a mike on a bare stage.

[@rowley1950]

Dead right mate. I'll never know why they packed up. Right at the top of their game

steve FromEngland I heard the one with the tash had a few heart attacks, I think they do a bit of acting now in Benidorm I think they done a tour in Australia as well

[@TokyoJoe703]

steve FromEngland their last series on itv was dog shit and they got dropped

[@fanatamon]

It's a bloody masterpiece.

[@Oddsnake]

God damn Hale & Pace were/are just so amazing. They're hilarious, but they're also extremely clever with their music parodies. One thing is just making fun, another thing is making original melodies that perfectly captures the spirit of the music they make fun of to the point where you could believe it was an original song by the artist.

[@Horriblebastad]

Its now racist to mock ginger folks.

[@pflaffik]

@@Horriblebastad and that makes it more fun

[@robertpollock1986]

As a scotsman love these 2

[@prkancheese]

Absolute gold. Easy to forget how funny these two were.

[@fanatamon]

They were always fresh and funny.

Lyrics: Hey-ho, Hey-yo, Hey-yo, We yodel along, In an accent so strong, Two scottish twins, with big pairs of bins, Of Scotland were proud, and we're singing so loud, with mouths that can open, to the size of Loch Lomond. Hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-oh, hey-oh, do you mind if we send you, a memo from Motherwell? An envelope from Edinburgh? [and] a postcard from Perth? Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho, Killiecrankie, Killiecrankie, is a lovely word to sing, Auchermuchty, Auchterarder, they have a certain ring. About Caledonia, We certainly have a thing, and every Englishman is a bastard, he's a bastard, he's bastard, he's a bastard, yee'ah, Do you mind if we send you, an invoice from Inverness? a communication from Cowdenbeath? a facsimile from Fife? Hey-hop, hey-hop, hey-hop, hey-te-hop, And I have got four eyes, you see, and I have got four eyes, no doubt, and eight-eye Caledonia, now that's something to shout about, shout about! Shout about! Nickety, nackety-noo, nickety, nackety, Nickety, nackety, nickety, nackety-noo, Do you mind if we send you, a manuscript from Musselburgh? a kissogram from Kirriemuir? A telemessage from Troon? A jiffy-bag from John O'Groats? And a doddle from Dundee? Oooh.

[@dnakatomiuk]

Hale and Pace brilliant comedians god i miss the 90s and Sunday evenings with these

[@hermanthetosser4219]

Glad we can see these videos again in the UK

[@charlesscottkelly]

Greetings from Scotland..

[@csnrdi]

The Proclaimers (Letter from America) must love this cover, I know I would 😛

[@renegadedalek778]

This is the best thing I've ever seen, makes me laugh every time I watch it🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RandomnessTube.]

So underrated these guys even comedy was 100 times better in the 90s along with everything else.

[@fanatamon]

Fully and now we have females that identify as comedians so they must be funny. And by the grace of god they are utterly unfunny.

[@reddevil9554]

We don't really have shows like this anymore, I wish we did, it's all panel shows and trashy reality TV shows now. Even sitcoms are disappearing. Where are the classic comedy shows of tomorrow going to come from, because we just don't have any today?

[@steveaslan3733]

Who else has had this song in they’re heads all day after listening?

[@Bollthorn]

OMG I remember this!! :D Used to love Hale and Pace. They need to come back to TV so bad!!

[@WSADKO]

They are so old now like cmon

[@liamf7838]

good days tv for sure miss these guys

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Gareth and Norman were great in my opinion. Both were teachers too in their younger days.😄

[@alanburge4798]

Hale and Pace, The 2 Ronnies and Alas Smith and Jones. Classic British comedies and duos.

[@gabbermensch]

I still remember this, in Scotland we loved all the name-checks!

[@barrykushbush]

im from scotland and love this sketch its genius hahahahahahaha still laugh my as of at it, iv been everywhere they are singing about, and stay close to the proclaimers lol brilliant thanx for sharing not seen for years =)

[@mt23289]

Every time I watch this a can't stop laughing...I'm Scottish but this is absolutely brilliant 😂

[@neilhobson3624]

They were hilarious. Mind you you have Limmy. I think he’s a genius. A bit dark sometimes but still hilarious 👍👍.

[@mt23289]

@@neilhobson3624 hale and pace we’re class… loved the one they did about oasis years ago… oaday, what a laugh. Aye a like limmy too… but he is a bit meant 😄

They made the proclaimers proud!

[@mcfcste99]

Im sure the proclaimers saw the funny side hilarious 😆🤣

[@Pladderkasse]

I love how well Frankie Boyle sings here.

[@concretedan]

RIP Benny Harvey.. miss ya big man.. gone but not forgotten

[@boymoontube]

I'm in tears...

[@RodrigoSilvaDiaz]

This song is good AF.

[@curiousgemini]

I PROCLAIM this to be a great song.

[@stephenmcarthur-yn1gl]

comedy at its best fantastic duo right up there with the best

[@gloriajones2626]

I’m telling my great grandson this is the proclaimers

[@paulhardy7585]

The woke brigade would have a field day with this, I miss the days when most folk didn't get offended, I'm Scottish and find this sketch hilarious..

[@SevereRepugnance]

Hell yeah, awesome satirical take on The Proclaimers "Letter From America"

[@hermanthetosser4219]

just sort of noticed... besides the proclaimers. I can hear a bit of influence of the scottish band Big Country with their song "Look Away".

[@train4905]

These guys were so good at accents too😊

[@DG-zi8lc]

Unreal

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

they should have just called this show "Taking a Bigger Piss Than You'll Ever Take" or something like that! love these guys.

[@thewhippetbeans]

this song is so good, overjoyed its been posted! :)

[@scottscott232]

Bloody excellent. 10/10.

[@hongdongjji5361]

Stunningly brilliant

[@ryang790]

best parody EVER EVER EVER!!

[@raymondgill9796]

" Oh dear Ron they're cackleing, i don't like cackleing" "I don't like any pork."

[@nigelcartwright5986]

I used to be at the same school as Norman Pace. He was a good 4 years older than me so we weren't in the same year. I remember him staring in a school version of HMS Pinafore. He was brilliant, couldn't stop himself with the ad lib's, much to the disgust of the fusty old teachers we had. You could see he was destined for greater things.

[@MarkMares]

@@nigelcartwright5986 wow!!!

[@МарусияСалсера]

Brilliant song and rhythm 😂😂💜the accent 💜 The Proclaimers were alright but I do prefer this version !! 😂

[@DaveStevis]

Top top class!

[@nealdempster8407]

Should released this as a charity single

[@sharonanne6293]

absolutely fab ..... love Hale and Pace

[@MarkMares]

and me. they should reform and come back out for a new season/show

[@sharonanne6293]

+Mark “UmFuKeR” Mares oh deffo they r awesome together

[@anniebroadbent7961]

This made me chuckle. I'm sure the Proclaimers took it as a compliment.

[@frankiefire3968]

Pure brilliance

[@wingmasterjimmy6724]

Quality!

[@rostislavkisza8211]

it was a fantastic pair,their humor is unforgettable

[@vincentgranville964]

Can you imagine the uproar if this was televised today...

[@MarkMares]

It would be funny to see how many people get offended over it... jesus people get offended by anything these days... :D

[@DisasterOnline]

"And every englishman is a bastard!" XD

[@INDIANBLANKET]

That was bloody funny.

[@simonbenson8740]

They are absolutely classic. I loved their euphemism for the Rooty Hill RSL, where they played when in Sydney - “Lovers’ Hump”! Just so funny.

[@Pantokrator1]

Genius.

[@marcwelstand6791]

I’d love to know what the Proclaimers made of this. They’d probably have laughed their areas off. I can even imagine them saying to each other “hey we could actually do this song on stage” but then deciding against due to the “every Englishman is Bastard” bit.

[@TheMusingGreg]

I was thinking exactly that. I know nothing about The Proclaimers and whether they would have taken offence or thought it was hilarious.

[@thegreygrappler6280]

Pure talent,

[@markroberts12]

briliant of coarse..i think the scottish peoople can see the funny side to this

[@janemackie9]

love hale and pace bring them back i say xx

[@andrewmorrice9139]

Fair play to them for actually naming several Scottish cities. Most English people simply leave at 'Scotland' and no further.

[@train4905]

Actually good voices😊😊

[@freesaxon6835]

Excellent take off

[@williambrown5305]

Utterly perfect..as the late great Billy Connolly said, when speaking of Smeaton

[@AngelaRyanXX]

He's nae deed.

He's looking pretty good for a dead man👍

[@charliebrown1751]

Brilliant

[@mcvicarross7]

They don't make em like Hale n Pace anymore!! 😂😂😂

these guys are the best i have ever seen..they've been on belgian telly..the bollocks

[@Booster85]

Amazing this!

[@VirgilwithanE]

Hale & Pace may have been copying Smith & Jones, but they did it damn well!

[@SirAdamUK]

Cheers.

[@SupremeAlienBen]

just here to get my daily dosis

[@silver760]

The film of the mail train dates this sketch!!

[@williambrown5305]

And as for rabbie's mouse [ wee coowerin' timorous beastie boys], i DO need an ambulance; pace Billy and Smeaton...still greetin' tears o' mirth here...

[@dialchemy]

@UmFuKeR I'm with you mate, You could have said shit like "my family" "2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps" "Kevin Bishop" But Peep Show is genius.

[@stephenfalken]

Can’t believe the Proclaimers ripped off this awesome song!

[@Hercfan1978]

Are they taking the micky out of The Proclaimers? Both duo's are great :D

[@annharwood4801]

I think it’s a great compliment to the Proclaimers. I love Proclaimers and love Hale & Pace.

[@EdVanMeyer]

Sunshine on Leith. Light rain in other words.

[@VirgilwithanE]

You're forgetting Smith & Jones, Rik & Adrian, French & Saunders and The Two Ronnies. :)

[@geoffwalsh7371]

I like to think that the Proclaimers (Craig and Charlie Reid) had taken this in good humour and found it funny.

[@mullac1980]

Another Unionist opens his mouth and makes a fool of themselves keep up the great work its so easy against the Unionists! Love this sketch Hal and Pace are legends would love them to come back!

[@kingcurry6594]

This is far better than that godawful Pretenders song.

[@glenthedog1974]

Better than The Proclaimers

[@MarkMares]

@nickbuttle - Sadly its gone, now we're stuck with the unfunny shite like: Little Miss Jocelyn and Peep Show.. bring back the classic comedy I say.. nothing like a night in with Jasper Carrott on the box!

[@shaunpenne1840]

Fuck Yeah!!!

[@MarkMares]

@Hercfan1978 : Indeed they are..

[@AmberPanda]

Oh for the days before "P C" c*** came along, "And every Englishman is a bastard!"....am I offended by this, no, and I am English.....why don't people just chill and laugh.

[@johnwick-vo7ig]

And every scotsman is ginger and wear skirts (99% anyway) we English love being called bastards,its a hidden compliment.
