…stay the fuck away from [Auld Lang Syne](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aop6YF1Xqqg&feature=fvst) It sounded like someone trying to sing it in an American accent; for exaggerated effect. ---

I wish you had not made that version known to me, I could have easily lived my whole life without any knowledge of it, I would have preferred it that way. ---

I thought this thread was going to be about moose knuckles. ---

I understand disliking it, but not for the accent. OF course she’s singing it in an American accent. It’s American pop. That’s how it goes. The only thing I have a problem with is the techno-like background that kicks in after the first round that sounds so hokey. It sounds like someone who is making fun of pop. ---

I’ve never particularly cared for the song to begin with. I don’t quite see what’s so bad about Mariah’s busty version of the song. ---

God help me, I kinda liked it. Man, what a pretty set of knockers on her. ---

> [@VinylTurnip](#): > > Mariah says to tell you she’s sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! Actually, one of the things I liked about this was that the melisma was turned down. At least, it was for the good part of the song before the drum track kicked in. ---

The green-screening in the video is really lame, but I liked the song. Her voice is angelic. ---

Well shit. All these years of Mariah Carey in the news every so often and I don’t pay one bit of attention because, for some reason or another, I was under the impression her breasts were much less eye-catching. How long should I leave the video at 0:15 to make up for years of not appreciating her, talents? ---
