FURTHER INFO ON MUSIC PLAYED ON THIS VIDEO:
"Auld Lang Syne" is a popular song at midnight on December 31; but what are the lyrics? Most people don't know that it is a Scottish poem written in 1788 by Robert Burns, and later set to the music of a folk song.

The song begins by posing a question as to whether it is right that old times be forgotten, and is often interpreted as a call to remember long-standing friendships.

"Happy Days Are Here Again" was written in 1929, and was featured in the 1930 film "Chasing Rainbows." The song was used to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition in the 1932-33 period. One of the most influential recordings of the song was by Barbra Streisand.
