IS THAT A SCOTTISH SONG THEN

It's Auld Lang Syne, which is from a Robert ('Robbie') Burns poem written in 1788, although the basic idea for the poem has been dated back to as far as 1568! Robbie Burns was Scotland's favourite poet, and the whole of Scotland celebrates Robbie Burns Night once a year, during which they all get amazingly drunk (which is saying something for the Scots!!)
However, it's now widely regarded as the most common song sung in the English language (although some could argue that it's 'Happy Birthday') and is sung at the end of most 'arranged' parties
and functions such as weddings, barmitzvahs, anniversaries and, of course, on new year's eve.
All the guests form a circle in the middle of the room, cross their arms over themselves and link hands with the people either side of them and sing the first verse and chorus quite slowly whilst shaking their hands up and sown, then they usually repeat the chorus at a faster pace whilst running in towards the centre of the circle and back out again a number of times, during which most people fail to keep hold of hands and, inevitably, someone falls over and crashes into someone else, but it's all done with a smile!
The song is sung wrongly by almost everybody - everyone sings "For the sake of auld lang syne" at the end of each stanza but it's just "For Auld Lang Syne"
The original Burns lyric is as follows:
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
An' never brought to mind?
(should we forget our old friends and never think of them again?)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And auld lang syne?
(should we forget them, and all the old times gone by?)
For auld lang syne, me jo',
For auld lang syne
(No!, so out of respect for these times, my joy)
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
(We will drink happily together one day)
For auld lang syne.

the position The Wild Roses improve - Nick Cave Henry Lee - Nick Cave (has already been stated through utilising somebody else.tremendous selection!) enormously lots about seventy 5% of Nick Cave's paintings - something else is humorous as hell! there is likewise a band observed as The Black coronary heart Procession who've many haunting and proper songs. Bruce Springsteen's music Nebraska also springs to recommendations,as does lots of Spiritualised's paintings,quite the music damaged coronary heart.

Auld Lang Syne (said to mean "old times' sake") The first few lines are "Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot And the days of auld lang syne?"

Traditionally Auld Lang Syne is played at new year. Everyone normally crosses their arms and hold hands with their "neighbours" and waves them up and down while singing it too.
