This has a personal meaning for a lot of hardworking Scots. And very popular on a night out. Gets everyone on their feet

We Scots love this song. It’s become part of our culture and folklore. What a song. Glad you liked it because we love it. If you’re ever in the company of a Scot, play this song and see their reaction. You should react to Loch Lomond by Runrig live at Loch Lomond, another great Scottish song.

Fantastic amount of bands came out of Scotland around that era......

One of best songs ever written

Deacon Blue were one of my favourite band from the 80's. Give Twist 'n' Shout a go. They had so many catchy songs. Very underrated group.

Intelligent, meaningful lyrics, maybe especially if you are Scottish but applies to all people.

Pure Anthem!

So many songs back in those times that are so inspiring, Something that we all need to listen and remember and do something.

This is one of the best 'feel good' songs ever!

I absolutely LOVE this song.

I’m Scottish and this song is such an anthem to me, I work for the council too so yeah I get it, I want a boat and to name her dignity 🤣

It could just as easily be about be about a minimum wage Walmart clerk in St Louis. It's about being working class and ordinary but keeping your chin up and having a dream to cling onto. Hence it unites 95% of us, the other 5% being the lucky few who can actually afford to go out and spend 30k on a boat on a whim.

This band come from not far from where I live. They were one of my favourite bands in the 80's along with Wet Wet Wet, the Human League and a few others. Thanks for reacting 🙂

Deacon Blue are one of the finest bands to come out of Scotland. Some really good tunes through the years, with Dignity being the pinnacle of their output, in my humble opinion. Have a wee listen to 500 miles by the Proclaimers. A great party sing-along song by the Reid twins, the Lairds of Auchtermuchty.

Lorraine the female singer is from Cumnock... Small town in Ayrshire. The worker for the council was a street sweeper could be seen doing his job till recently. Love this song and the band.

Probably mentioned before but it's about a bin man (garbage man) who saves up to buy a boat. The thought of being on his holidays and sailing through West Coast villages and towns on it when everyone else is working keeps him going through his normal working day. Like all your reactions and your selections 👍

Amazing song from a great Scottish band

Great band. 'Real Gone Kid' and 'Chocolate Girl' are also worth a listen. Ricky and Lorraine (the singers) had - and still have - great chemistry. One of showbiz's happier love stories.

Love their song Real Gone Kid

Thank you for reminding me of this band. I love them. There was so much good 80s music that some got lost in the shuffle.

Take no notice about what it's says about deacon blue on the Internet they are very popular around the world especially the uk They have a massive fan base and have written some great songs over the years

Thanks for the reaction. For me this is one of the greatest songs of all time but maybe I'm biased :)

Fantastic band, Raintown is a beautiful song, you should give it a try, in fact the whole Raintown album is amazing😃

You really need to try "The whole of the moon" by The Waterboys. Thank me later.

Great band just saw them on their 30th anniversary tour here in Australia

Deacon Blue "Real Gone Kid" , "Chocolate Girl" .....great band

Hi Indie,nice to see you playing Deacon Blue,Ricky and Lorraine,i have had the pleasure to know them quit well,as they only live less than a mile from me,and we drink in the same Bar,lovely,lovely couple.

I love this song. The Band are Scots from Glasgow.

if everybody lived their life like him it would be a much better place

You got it India! Thanks from a 67 yr old Scottish guy, way down South in Devon England .

The two singers have been married now for well over 30 years

These were a seriously underrated band....

Deacon Blues Best of is well worth getting. Fantastic, powerful pop music.

When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)? and Chocolate Girl are two nice songs from that same album. Your pronunciation was spot on.

Hi India. Ty for reacting to Deacon Blue. Great band great song. If you like Deacon Blue , then you will probably like Del Amitri singing Nothing Ever Happens.

India, since you've ventured into 'Scot Rock' might I suggest that you give 'In a Big Country' by the band Big Country, a spin. 'Alba gu brath'! (Scotland forever!)

Lead singer ricky ross is from the same city as me , supports the same football team as well , dundee united 😊

One of my best songs. From the big great content of Africa.

Stunning song, thank you India

you got the meaning spot-on pal......superb

Try Cover From The Sky by Deacon Blue, sung by Lorraine, it’s simple & beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed this song. It`s one of my favourites from the 80s.

I have always loved this song xx

Great choice.love this band.

great song at christenings, birthday parties & wedding receptions

Listen I’m Scottish I know Deacon blue but your break down of this song was spot on, kid you not actually hud a year in my eye, you should check out more

D I G N I T Y

Great band...

One of best Scottish bands x

Great track live

Furniture "Brilliant Mind"

Loved from the first release

I hope after all these decades English people finally understand what a Sunblest bag is, when i worked in London in 1990 Londoners were always asking me what a sunblest bag is.

It seems that this song is written based on a true history...one day I will buy my own dingy,guess how I am gonna call it?dam Right!👍😄

Every Karoke in Scotland someone sings this

Dignity is the name of his boat

Ah one of my favourite songs. I feel the release a couple of years after the original flop had a bit more punch to the base which made it much a more successful release here in Britain. They just covered Bruce - dancing in the dark on radio 2. Check it out here on KZfaq. It’s an amazing cover! 👌 ps India, to continue ur with the Scottish theme I would listen to whole of the moon by waterboys. Amazing tune!

Loved this when it first came out but they're original version is better

India you are awesome, love your choices, please please please - The Proclaimers - Shadows Fall - but be prepared you might shed a tear, especially as you listen so intently to the lyrics.

Thanks India 👌 could you do chocolate girl as well please by them x

Dundee United anthem 🔶️⚫✊

Their name comes from Deacon Blues from Steely Dan's song! As always good choice dear India! India REAAAAAAAAACTS

There is also a song called Deacon Blues.

Yes Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You should listen to He Looks Like Spencer Tracey Now by this band. Great story about the man that took the photographs of the atomic bomb. Great reaction as always.

Do more Deacon Blue!

Who thought about mentioning John Maynard Keynes 👍

I was named after deacon blue

that Ship .... Friendship, partnership, relationship

Real gone kid, Fergus sings the blues, Love and regret 🥰 check them out

self respect i used to do that job

A "Sunblest" bag is the brand name of a loaf of bread we have in the UK. I've not seen it for years though. www.alliedbakeries.co.uk/media/4574/sunblest.jpg

Please react to "Ese hombre" by Rocio Jurado, you won't regret it she's amazing

The woman in the video is his wife

Love this song, this band's from Glasgow UK like me😊

Check out deacon blues chocolate girl. xx

Mary shut down

Reaccion a nicole gatii mashup ritmo plis desdes peru

Its about buying a boat

This song always cheers me up. Worst case of rickets I ever saw though.

Errr ......the dinghy is called dignity.

Love this song but that’s not the original version. The original version is so much better. That’s a weird mix.

weak. . . but I'm biased . . . heavy metal, jazz, blues, classical.

Great band and song. Always found the female a very weak singer and a waste of time. No musical talent there. Same as the female vocalist in the Thompson Twins.

Awesome band, unfortunately this is one of the worst videos of this great song

A really weak song.
