Subject: RE: Retire 'Auld Lang Syne' - use what song instead?
I prefer the older tune / full song - but if its a drunken melee then the inevitable has to be bowed to and the two verse /holding hand s/ better kent version must prevail!

BUT -- please please please puleeeese do NOT sing 'auld lang Zyne' - that disnae mean onythin' at a' and is excruciating for Scots' ears!

Pronounce it 'ssyne' - a soft 's' sound. Or don't sing it!
