"What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" (Ella Fitzgerald). …So you can sit and listen to it all alone in your apartment and be like, "This, Ella Fitzgerald. This is what I'm doing."
"Who Knows Where The Time Goes" (Sandy Denny). I like to sing this to small children and be like, "YOU know what I mean. Time flies, right?"
"Kiss Me at Midnight" (*N Sync). I like to sing it to my pillow.
"Auld Lang Syne." …Cause, I like to sing songs that I don't understand.
"I Gotta Feeling" (The Black Eyed Peas). …Cause who doesn't wanna hear Fergie sing, "Mazel Tov" in her sexiest voice?
"Happy New Year" (Judy Garland). She is Queen.
"Happy New Year" (ABBA). Couldn't be more different than Judy. I love a synth and a yodel.
"Sleigh Ride" (TLC). …BECAUSE I AM A PRODUCT OF THE 90s.
"My Dear Acquaintance (A Happy New Year)" (Peggy Lee). …In case you didn't cry enough during "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
"New Year's Prayer" (Jeff Buckley). There will never be another artist like Jeff Buckley. This is the perfect song to listen to right before you fall asleep at 10:30 PM on New Year's Eve.
