Auld Lang Syne has been recorded a gazillion times by many artists ranging from the traditional version by Guy Lombardo to a punk rock version in 1980 by the English group The Boys who recorded it under the name, The Yobs (link below). They start the song out pretty straight but it's like they just can't get it right until the fourth try and by then it is pretty raucous, with chimes, even!!!

In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve (also known as Old Year's Day or Saint Sylvester's Day in many countries), the last day of the year, is on 31 December. In many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated at evening parties, where many people dance, eat, drink, and watch or light fireworks. Some Christians attend a watchnight service. The celebrations generally go on past midnight into New Year's Day, 1 January.

 The Line Islands (part of Kiribati) and Tonga, are examples of the first places to welcome the New Year, while Baker Island (an uninhabited atoll part of the United States Minor Outlying Islands) and American Samoa are among the last.         

 

Music associated with New Year's Eve comes in both classical and popular genres, and there are Christmas songs that focus on the arrival of a new year during the Christmas and holiday season (link below), such as the afore mentioned Auld Lang Syne which was written by Scottish poet and lyricist, Robert Burns.

20,000 vinyl LPs 199: The Yobs - Auld Lang Syne

 The Yobs ~ Christmas Album

What better way to end the year than with a good old fashioned punk rock version of the traditional song, Auld Lang Syne? And it's vinyl LP #199! So, I can start 2020 with vinyl LP #200! How appropriate is that?     

The Yobs ~ Christmas Album

Originally the group, formed in 1976, was called The Boys. They changed the name of the group and recorded four studio albums under the name, The Yobs, before disbanding in 1982. The group consisted of Matt Dangerfield, Casino Steel formerly of the Hollywood Brats, Honest John Plain, Duncan "Kid" Reid and drummer Jack Black.

The band's early recordings were made in a home recording studio which Dangerfield had set up in his rented basement apartment in Maida Vale in London.     

The band played their first concert at the Hope and Anchor pub in Islington, London on 15 October 1976. Among the crowd were Mick Jones, Billy Idol, Tony James and Gene October. Later that year they toured with John Cale of Velvet Underground.

The Boys achieved limited commercial success, but their music has influenced the development of other bands. German punk band Die Toten Hosen performed cover versions of their music regularly for more than a decade. They also recorded cover versions of some songs, namely First Time for their album Auf dem Kreuzzug ins Glück - 125 Jahre die Toten Hosen and Brickfield Nights for the cover album Learning English, Lesson One. On the rear of the cover of the 1978 album by The Jam, All Mod Cons, the photograph of Paul Weller's Rickenbacker 330 guitar carries a The Boys sticker.  

 

In the late 1990s, Japanese band Thee Michelle Gun Elephant had a hit with a Boys cover. This prompted the re-release of several Boys albums, and more than 30,000 albums were sold in Japan alone. A Boys tribute album was also released featuring 13 bands from around the world. The Boys also influenced the cult power pop band The Exploding Hearts, who performed and recorded in the early 2000s.
