New Year Eve/Day Songs General Chat (was the)Suggestion box

Can we please not put Cliff Richard up against Dina Carroll please?

And Barry Manilow a "duffer"?! I'll be voting for that one!!



*I mean, I haven't heard it before, but still.

Do you want me to do the first round Wendykins?

Next Year by Foo Fighters? "I'll be coming home next year" EDIT: It was also released in December.

Sugababes - New Year

The Beautiful South - This Will Be Our Year

Disco 2000 by Pulp anyone?

I'll take that as a 'no' then.

Mad with power that one…

Paul McCartney ft. Kylie - Happy New Year!

Kool Keith and Kutmasta Kurt - Happy New Year

Can - Fall of Another Year

Er, bit thin I know, but...

2022 is the Chinese year of the Tiger.



Even if it isn't until February.

This could replace the trad. version proposed earlier?

Have we had this one yet?

And we should use this site to ascertain the match-ups.

I'd be happy to ditch that Van Morrison BTW.

I don't think he deserves the Youtube hits.

I don't mind generating the order and creating the threads BTW.

Like, do the donkey work basically.

Otherwise, if Wendi's left to do it all, we'll end up with U2 against themselves in the final.

Don't we need an even number?

Wonder if Eric Clapton did a New Year song,



Nope, but I did find

Don't we need 64 for a brutal knock out, one chance and you're out competition?
