Looking for the group and words, kind of Irish sounding, that has these words in it. Apparently it;s featured on an InSync video. Thanks.

Perhaps the "I would walk 500 miles" you're seeking is the one by the Proclaimers. They're a rock band from Scotland, and the song (which was a hit on MTV)was heavily featured in the movie "Benny and Joon".

Hi,

Chorus...

and I would walk 500 miles
and I would walk 500 more
to be the man who walks 500 miles
and ends up at your door

or something like that..

if that's the chorus then it was the Proclaimers, (twin brothers from Scotland).

I'M GONNA BE
(Recorded by the Proclaimers)

When I wake up yeah I know I´m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s havering to you

Chorus:
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I’m working yes I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I’ll do
I’ll pass almost every penny on to you

When I come home yeah I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s growing old with you

Chorus

When I´m lonely well I know I’m gonna be I’m gonna be the man who’s lonely without you
And when I’m dreaming well I know I’m gonna dream
I’m gonna dream about the time when I’m with you
