New Years Eve Songs?

[KevinL]

I just read through the Xmas song thread, and saw lots of great songs. However, I'm planning a New Years Eve Ball, so I want wintery/holiday songs that are not (necessarily) Xmas related.

Any thoughts?

Here are some winter titles from my Christmas collection whose lyrics aren't specifically about Christmas:

• Baby It’s Cold Outside
• Winter Wonderland
• Let It Snow
• Celebrate Early And Often
• Celebrate Me Home
• Frosty The Blues Man

Salsa Celtic "Auld lang syne" Rumba
I came across this one in my xmas search and i love it

There is an absolutely gorgeous version of "Auld Lang Syne" on the Sex and the City movie soundtrack by Mairi Campbell and Dave Francis - not sure how danceable it is, but absolutely beautiful!

'Zat you, Santy Claus?

Dean Martin has a Christmas album you might want to check out, too.

I think a good New Years song is "Rock Around the Clock." Not wintry, but still appropriate, I think.

I've compiled the following list of potential songs. I'll obviously have to fill in from my regular playlists, but what do you think? I haven't listened to all of them yet, so if you have a favorite performer, or dance style suggestion please let us all know!

Party like it's 1999.

How could you party with a Y2K scare?!!? ::grins::

Heh, I will admit I was one of those people who had a shortwave/am/fm radio with me. But was at lock-in with church youth group that whole night, including having girlfriend there, that I either broke up with a couple months later or started dating a couple months later. Can't quite remeber.

Some Great songs there, I will keep those titles for future reference.

The version of "Aspenglow" on Ballroom Fascination is bound to be more danceable than the John Denver one.

New year's Eve with Frank Sinatra

A whole album of great danceable music. Available on iTunes.
