Let’s put together a playlist for a NYE party. Ground rules are that the songs have to do with NYE, partying or things associated with New Year’s Eve (like champagne, the ball dropping in Times Square, horns, etc.). If you have to explain WHY it is a NYE song then it probably won’t make the list but if is clever it will (like how Rio by Duran Duran is on our Christmas Carols list). All genres are welcome. So far I have New Year’s Day (U2) Celebration (Kool & the Gang) 1999 (Prince) Happy New Year (ABBA) What are you doing New Year’s Eve? (Bette Midler) ---
