Happy New Year

Many of us will be trying to sing the song that nobody knows this evening, Auld Lang Syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
Such melancholy lyrics in the context of a party atmosphere. How did this song become so popular? Of course things could be worse, we could instead try to sing the post-apocalyptic lyrics of Prince's New Year's effort

Have a Happy New Year!
