Before I die...

...I want to attend two football games in Britain.

Priority #1: Hampden Park in Scotland
Reason: Every time the national football team scores, they play The Proclaimers' "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and the crowd sings along. I first heard of the song in an episode of How I Met Your Mother, and I grew to love it.

Priority #2: Birmingham City Football Club in England
Reason: Before every home game, they play Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)'s "Mr. Blue Sky" to honor Jeff Lynne, the leader of the band. I first heard of the song in Episode 3 of The Sing-Off. The remaining a Capella groups sang it for their opening number.
