Is there a Part 2 to D. Fogelbergs song (Some Old Lang Syne) ???

Dan Fogelbergs song "Same Old Lang Syne" song is one of my favorites. At one time a person told me that there is a part-2 to this song. That it discussed the couple in the song meeting again?

Anyone outthere Know?

Hi David! I love that song too...it's so melancholy. I've never heard of a part 2. I tried searching for it, but haven't come up with anything yet. I'll keep checking and let you know.

Hey thanks, I am not even sure if it is by dan fogelberg or not, but the person who told me about it said they heard it immediately after Old lang syne, and it seemed to follow the song perfectly. anyway thanks for the quick response.

I know I've heard it but I can't remember when. It is Dan Fogelberg, tho.

Here's what I found on the subject.

The hit single "Same Old Lang Syne" by Dan Fogelberg, released in 1980, did not have a sequel according to an interview with Dan in 1994.

(see link below)

Is it possible you are thinking of Harry Chapin's sequel to his song "Taxi"?

Harry Chapin released a hit single about meeting up with an old girlfriend called "Taxi" in 1972, which is similar in subject to Dan's song.

He released a sequel to the song "Taxi" in 1980 (the same year that Dan's single hit the charts) called "Sequel".

You can check out lyrics to all 3 songs below.

"Same Old Lang Syne" lyrics - Dan Fogelberg

"Taxi" lyrics - Harry Chapin

"Sequel" lyrics - Harry Chapin

On a completely different note, talking about songs where someone meets up with a old flame, Bob Dylan touches on that subject in his song "Tangled Up In Blue".

Ill add to Brads already good info...The research i did showed that people do confuse Taxi or Sequel by Harry Chapin to a second part of Same Old Lang Syne.
