this sounds familiar...(from 1992!)
I can't believe they had the cheek to file a copyright takedown on the parody version below.
Here's a quote from Kevin Brady who wrote the new lyrics for the song designed to raise civic pride in the area: "The song was recorded in Texas. We made the decision because we were trying to make a song with a certain American style. We couldn't get the quality of singers and recording in Fife." ....
and concerning the facebook backlash:
"We didn't create the campaign to target teenagers, it's aimed at the 25 to 54 age bracket.
"I think it's disappointing that a small minority have attempted to derail what has been overall a successful campaign. It's just the power of Facebook among young people, and we accept that, but the overriding fact is the campaign wasn't created for them."
oops!:

We're for Fife parodies
This is brilliant - especially the hot blonde.
edit: it's been taken down because of a copyright infringement request. Looks like Kingdom FM have had a sense of humour bypass. Here's the quote from the profile page: "Hey man, aye i had to take it down, got a message saying i had to because of copyright infringement for using the music. Kinda sucks but i was also kind of expecting it, just not this soon. It was fun while it lasted. I may try and throw together a mock soundtrack as well. Watch this space!?"
the music in this one gives the whole thing a slightly different feel...
