As a Bostonian I already threw the R away! I love a Scottish brogue. I hired a guy once just because of his accent!

English accents tend to roll the R less than Scots accents do. Basically, by "flattened all my vowels and I threw the r away" they mean not singing in their own accent. This was their first single and is about the way record companies told them "you won't be successful if you sing in your own accent".

What do they mean with "throwing the R away"? Me personally, I like to talk with a Glaswegian accent (watched too much Ducktales). Or at the very least attempt to (mainly by rolling my Rs much to the chagrin of my teacher). I know this is a two year old post, so I dont expect an answer.

Thanks for answering for me. I didn't want to take the time to set the record straight to someone who didn't get the joke. Then again, this person compared the Scottish burr to an Italian or Spanish accent. Geez!

I think booknplays gets it just fine. He or she was just saying that in the Bostonian accent, the R was already thrown away. It was a comparison, not an indication that they didn't "get" the song!

Cool that they broke barriers for Scottish accents. Funny about trying to sing in fake American accents. During the British Invasion years, some of us here in the US thought English accents were the coolest because of the Beatles and the Stones.

I like the Mousouri accent in America,home of Jesse James.The Proclaimers are east coast,but this song was played in the eighties on a music show called The Tube in London,and it was a cultural turning point for Scots music.As up to that point we had sang in fake American accents like Lu Lu and Sheena Easton.The Proclaimers were one of the first bands to say fuck that,we are proud of who we are and how we sound.And my hats taken of to them cos of that,they opened the doors to do the same now.

I wish I had an identical twin. :(
