Still chill out there, oddly enough

Not the best time in the year for early-morning classroom appearances.  Anyways, for those of you forced to venture out into the arctic winds, I've got some cold-weather songs bundled up and waiting after the jump.

Happy new year!

  1. Lightnin' Hopkins - Happy New Year
  2. Spike Jones and The City Slickers - Happy New Year!!
  3. Camera Obscura - Happy New Year
    Sure doesn't sound like a celebratory New Year's song... but it's sweet as sugar, so how can I reasonably resist?
  4. Dan Fogelberg - Same Old Lang Syne
    Oh, I knew it was an ultra-cloying choice, but I couldn't help myself. I remember being around four years old, listening to this song in a car during a rainstorm, and getting my first hints of the emotional complications of adult life.
