New Year's Songs

[MK-com]

I know, I know, it's still a couple of months away, but...

I'm compiling a list of songs for a new year's party. I'd like to cover several genres, so feel free to shoot out your suggestions. Naturally, Auld Lang Syne is already on the list :)

New Years Day..U2

[rookie]

Celebration - Kool & The Gang

[maidennomore]

The Parting Glass - still probably one of the most popular closing anthems after Auld Lang Syne in Ireland and Scotland. Appropriate for New Year's.

Always makes me break a tear or two.

[MK-com]

[OceanDrop]

home for a rest - spirit of the west
cha cha slide

not the best, but that's all i can think of for now.

The Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire

It's the End of the World (I Feel Fine) - R.E.M.

Until the End of the World - U2

The Last Saskatchewan Pirate - The Arrogant Worms [From their live concert CD, Live Bait]

[Talamasca]

An interesting variation on Auld Lang Syne is "The Millennium Prayer" by Cliff Richard. A big hit in England. It's the Lord's Prayer set to Auld Lang Syne.

And another vote for The Parting Glass. Love that song.

that horrible chumbawumba song from 10 years ago.

[Neovingian]

1999 - Prince

although the year passed 6 yrs ago, I always hear this song on new years...

[The Digital Dolphin]

An interesting variation on Auld Lang Syne is "The Millennium Prayer" by Cliff Richard. A big hit in England. It's the Lord's Prayer set to Auld Lang Syne.

Seconded ;)

Since we are throwing out suggestions for Auld Land Syne, the Canadian group Barra MacNeil has a pretty nice version of the song. It's acoustic and very simplistic, but it works for me.

Crazy - Gnarls Barkley

more to come..

[Audiogenic]

Everybody Have Fun Tonight - Wang Chung
