- The article you're concerned about, reckon it's pukka. 500 miles was indeed a track by the bespectacled Proclaimers, and the track is on the spunge album. [1] --Sgkay 15:42, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Recent discussion over on Yahoo Answers on this question revealed a bit of missing info about a Less Than Jake cover here. I'm not sure what the general Wikipedian stance on that kind of info is(it seems kind of obscure - but it's dificult to find, and having it here is probably a good resource for people trying to learn about the song), but I'm adding it to the main article, with appropriate links, and hoping someone will clean up after me. This is my first edit, so if I'm doing anything wrong, please contact me to let me know. Thanks! --Orbus 19:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC) (Wasn't sure where to put my source link in the article, so I've put it here: [2]

[edit] "500 Miles"?
Currently "500 Miles" redirects here. This is also the title of a traditional (at least I think) folk song popularized in the 1960's by Peter, Paul & Mary, Hedy West, and others. Are the two titles even related? -MrFizyx 03:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] UK Download Chart
This song has shot up in the UK Download chart, from position 115 to 52... could this have anything to do with The MacDonald Brothers singing it recently on The X Factor? — AnemoneProjectors (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comic Relief Cover
In the video for the Comic Relief cover of the song, it makes references in the credits to Lord Lucan, Shergar and Osama Bin Ladin, all people/animals who have been famous for "disappearing". Maybe this should be noted in a Trivia section? --D'Argent 12:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Presuming is ok from the point of view of copyright, it'd be great to include a credits list here - such a imaginative and ecletic choice of people not as famous as they used to be. We could include a note as to which credits are not real. In addition to those you mention, there are people like Elton John and David Beckham on the list too, but only lookalikes of these two seem to appear. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.26.4.35 (talk) 08:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Infobox
The infobox in this article should relate only to one version of the single. Any information on the Comic Relief version should have it's own infobox (though preferably not) because it's not the same recording. Can someone fix this please? This means that (at least) the cover and chart positions need to be changed. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 23:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
