Auld Lang Syne, is the king of New Years songs, This one has a disco beat.

There are a ton of Christmas songs, but this is the only New Years song.

I know U2 did "New Years Day", but I don't consider that a New Years song, more of a pop song..

Happy New Year.

"Auld Lang Syne" is the king of New Year's songs, and this version is the king of "Auld Lang Syne."

"Auld Lang Syne"--Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians (1939)

I knew a man.
His name was Lang,
And he had a neon sign.
This Mr. Lang was very old,
So they called it "old Lang's sign."

For me, Jolson’s version is still the best.
Second prize would go to John McDermott.
My mom’s got a recording of ALS by John Zacherley but it’s too hard to find stuff in her house :( Haven’t heard it since I was little but it rocked me good!
