for some reason I find that song really depressing. it's not joyous, or celebratory - another goddamn year come and gone... looking towards the future ... just shoot me.

^ Any song that starts with "May all acquaintances be forgot..." is certainly going to suck. My take on the lyric, is that the song is saying you should walk away from, and forever desert, all of your friends.
What a vile sentiment.
What is it supposed to mean?

Good thing, then, that Auld Lang Syne begins with, "Should old acquaintance be forgot..."

from an ABC.news online article about the song:
Here it is. The answer to a perennial question of what on earth does “Auld Lang Syne” mean?
The confusion over the song is arguably almost as much of a tradition as the song itself. As revelers stumble and mumble through the verses–singing the “auld lang syne” part much louder than the rest of the song because it’s really the only part people know–someone always asks what the words mean.
The title of the Scottish tune translates to “times gone by” and is about remembering friends from the past and not letting them be forgotten.
Despite its strong association with New Year’s Eve, “Auld Lang Syne,” written by Robert Burns in the 1700s, was never intended to be a holiday song. Guy Lombardo is credited with popularizing the song when his band used it as a segue between two radio programs during a live performance at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York in 1929. By coincidence, they played “Auld Lang Syne” just after the clock hit midnight, and a New Year’s tradition was born.
The song, and the confusion that comes with it, has been immortalized in countless movies and TV shows.
In “When Harry Met Sally,” Billy Crystal’s baffled Harry wonders, “What does this song mean? My whole life, I don’t know what this song means. I mean, ‘Should old acquaintance be forgot?’ Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances. Or does it mean that if we happened to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them?”
“Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them or something,” Sally reasons. “Anyway, it’s about old friends.”
So as you surround yourself with friends old and new tonight, sing on.
And if you really want to impress people, here are the lyrics to the English translated version of the song you’ll probably hear:
"Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup
and surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne."
CHORUS

For those of you who've never heard it before:
It actually is pretty funny. I still kinda like it honestly.
As for a song I hate, probably that one where they sing "Do they know it's Christmastime at all?" Uhhhh, no bitch, they don't because your trying to raise money for African children who are mostly MUSLIM!!!

My store plays a very uppity "lite" jazz version of that, with the vocals sung by, I'm very sure is a very nice woman. But sister, we've gotta talk. A nice person, you likely are. A talented singer, you may be. But Beyoncé, you're not. The song just doesn't fit her voice, despite her clear and present harmonic talent. .../facepalm.
I ran a Google Search of the lyrics and it's actually a version of "Carol Of The Bells". I could not find my store's version on YouTube - be exceedingly thankful. It's a "lite" jazz version that, imho, strives to be a Christmas carol, and ends up coming across as cliché supermarket or elevator music. I have to hear it 3 or 4 times a night, and I just wanna scream every time I do.

All of them. I've heard them way too many times. The stuff that's piped into grocery stores is annoying as fuck the rest of the year but these old worn out Christmas songs drive me insane. Make it stop! Doesn't make me stay longer and buy more, makes me leave as quickly as possible. I should take my iPod to the store and block that stuff.

^ That's actually what I do - bring my headphones and mp3 player. Makes shopping much more peaceful.

My mom always hated Mel Torme. Whether nature or nurture, I don't like his "Christmas Song" either, I can't wait until I turn 93 so I'm not included in it anymore.
I can't stand Mel Torme, either, but I like the song except when Mel is singing it.

^ You've GOTTA be kidding!!! That's a great song.
Link for somebody to hate, somebody else to love, somebody else to be indifferent?
I know that somebody in here said they hate this song. Whoever that is, just feel glad that I didn't post what I call the Springfield version here. No, you don't even WANT to know.
TRUST ME. (You're safe. It's not on the internet anyway.)
No, NOT the version by The Springfields, which is a different (and done "straight") thing altogether.
