To Hell with Dick Clark, Carson Daly, Hillary Duff, Regis Philbin, etc.

It's okay, Peachy. Just the Georgia beer getting to you. Actually, I was having a dig at Paul. }:|

Don't feel too bad for Dick, he was much worse off this time last year. Wasn't on Rockin' Eve for the first time in decades, I reckon.

Forgive me Kev, but I'm going to edit the title of your thread. There were some pretty horrible viewing options this year for New Year's celebrations other than Mr. Clark.

AULD LANG SYNE

Words adapated from a traditional song

by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,

For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,

And surely I'll be mine,

And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,

For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pou'd the gowans fine,

But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,

Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn

Frae morning sun till dine,

But seas between us braid hae roar'd

Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,

And gie's a hand o thine,

And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,

For auld lang syne

No wonder everyone just mumbles the lyrics or drunkenly yells ones that don't make sense

I turned on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve show ten minutes before midnight. He's been very sick and he looked and sounded terrible. The poor thing.

Poor Dick Clark? Poor Mariah Carey! The poor slut has such an inferiority complex since "the Jetering" that she feels compelled to brush her hair aside every two minutes so that everyone can get a good look at her new boobs. Very nice boobs they are...but does she really need to make it obvious to everyone that they're store-bought? If you watched even part of the show, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about.

U2 ~ "New Year's Day"

Yeah...

All is quiet on New Year's Day

A world in white gets underway

I want to be with you

Be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year's Day

On New Year's Day

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

Under a blood red sky

A crowd has gathered in black and white

Arms entwined, the chosen few

The newspapers says, says

Say it's true it's true...

And we can break through

Though torn in two

We can be one

I...I will begin again

I...I will begin again

Oh...

Maybe the time is right

Oh...maybe tonight...

I will be with you again

I will be with you again

And so we're told this is the golden age

And gold is the reason for the wars we wage

Though I want to be with you

Be with you night and day

Nothing changes

On New Year's Day

On New Year's Day

I know all about Alan Freed and hundreds of radio DJ's who helped launch rock and roll. But other than the artists themselves no one but on one did more to futher rock and roll in the US than Dick Clark.

It is sad to see him in such a physical state but he's come a long way since his stroke. Rock on Dick!

Since these are the years of uncertainty, here's an answer to "the safe life" from Mary-Chapin Carpenter:

I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks

I stood on the rails till I saw that train

Just to see how my heart would react

Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate

And for them I would not disagree

But I never learned nothing from playing it safe

I say fate should not tempt me

I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I sat alone in the dark one night, tuning in by remote

I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat

He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check

I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette

I take my chances, forgiveness doesn't come with a debt

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep

I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep

Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry

So cut the deck right in half, I'll play from either side

I take my chances, I pay my dollar and I place my bet

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances, I don't cling to remorse or regret

I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get

I take my chances

I take my chances :guitar:

Ah, bless you Otokichi, another Mary Chapin Carpenter fan!!! And I was beginning to think I was the only one.

How about a little "Expresso Love" by Dire Straits?

She get's the sun in the daytime

Perfume in the dusk

And she comes out in the night time

With the honeysuckle musk

Because she smells just like a rose

And she tastes just like a peach

She got me walking where the wildlife goes

I'd do anything to reach her

And she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world

Is this just expresso love

You know I'm crazy for the girl

She call me just to talk

She's my lover she's a friend of mine

She says hey mister you wanna take a walk

In the wild west end sometime

And I get trouble with my breathing

She says boys don't know anything

But I know what I want

I want everything

Well I feel so good cos I feel so good

And I feel so good cos it feels so right

I was made to go with my girl

Like a saxophone was made to go with the night

And she can raise one eyebrow

Put her hand on my hip

And I close one eye now

Sweat on her lip

And I surrender to the fever

I surrender to the will of the night

She love me so tender I got to believe her

Love? expresso love's alright

I don't want no sugar in it

Thank you very much

All wired up on it all fired up on it

Expresso touch

Hey maestro expresso

It's just another one just like the other one

Hey maestro expresso

Is this another one just like the other one
