Auld Lang Syne (Excerpt)
by Adam Beck & The Misplaced A-Bombs

Happy Two-Thousand-And-Ten, Everybody!!!

New year, old gags. But new music. That was a twist, wasn’t it? Hope you guys liked my little rendition of “Auld Lang Syne.” It’s an AdBeck original. I made it especially for you with a beat-up old acoustic Silvertone (loaded with distortion and reverb), my mouth (loaded with marbles), and some old vinyl platters (loaded on a turntable). There’s a full-length version, too, but I was trying to keep it short and sweet.

Now listen, O my Droogs, please drive safely; don’t go making any resolutions you can’t keep; and remember that when it comes to hangovers, prevention is better than looking for a cure – so be sure to eat some fatty foods before imbibing. Also, please refrain from sending me any nasty emails or comments claiming you invented the term “Happy Nude Year,” were the first jackass to ever put a lampshade on your head, or developed the Gregorian calendar which has become so popular in recent years. I can assure you – you didn’t, you weren’t, and no one cares anyway. This is going to be a great year, people, I guarantee. ‘Cause we can’t get any worse than the one we just had!

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”

(American Statesman, Scientist, Philosopher, Printer, Writer, Inventor, Ladies Man, and Sufferer of The Gout,
1706-1790)
