I've said it before, the words to 'Dylan in the Movies' lend
themselves perfectly to the sort of devotion and delicious
sentimentality that football fans know and love.  But can you imagine
Belle and Sebastian doing 'Flower of Scotland'. If any voice is suited
to the beautiful defiance and vulnerability of that song, then it's
Stuart Murdoch's.  I may be 50% sasernach, but that song gets me every
time.

On the other hand they could just do 'Donald, where's yer troosers?'
