New Years Eve Songs?

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 :D
 
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!
 
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!

Thanks!

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