Random Tune for Tuesday 12/29/09

With the countdown to my favorite holiday in full swing -- just over 55 hours remaining, eh? -- I have to post some version of Auld Lang Syne. I intended to post the Billy Joel Y2K concert version, but stumbled across this 1982 rendition instead. And let's not forget the additional verses ...

"And surely you’ll buy your pint cup! and surely I’ll buy mine! And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes, and picked the daisies fine; But we’ve wandered many a weary foot, since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream, from morning sun till dine; But seas between us broad have roared since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend! And give us a hand o’ thine! And we’ll take a right good-will draught, for auld lang syne."

Happy (almost) New Year!
