Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.
Every time we ring in the New Year, we might hear people sing this song or at least hear the instrumental version on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.
If you’ve seen “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring Jimmy Stewart, you would have heard this song.
The song is ubiquitous.
But I will admit, I never knew what was being sung. So of course, I didn’t know the history and couldn’t quite tell you the meaning of the song, although I might have been able to guess the latter.
