New Year's Visit

[Niki Burony]

I'm looking for a good song to put to a little montage of us visiting with friends over New Years. Not all of the pictures are "party" pictures, bu also of just the families and kids playing and hanging around New Year's day. Any suggestions?

What kind of tone are you looking for?

Partying like it's 1999?

Family fun (like Bob Geldof's "Happy Club")?

Sentimental (like John Lennon's "In My Life")?

Hopeful and looking forward to the future?

Hopeful and upbeat is what I am looking for. I tried looking for Happy Club on itunes, and could find it, so I'm not familiar with that one. I wouldn't mind if it was something a little "familiar" as well since the kids are 4 and 7 and they like to watch my videos as well.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I like 'Funky New Year' by the Eagles

Here's a clip of "Happy Club", which unfortunately isn't for sale as an individual song.

You can find it on the soundtrack for the 1998 "Parent Trap" or you may be able to find a stray MP3 online.

Careful, though. It's definitely an earworm. Hear it once and it will be stuck in your head all day!

If you like Blues, there's a couple of nice tracks on B B KIng's 'A Christmas Celebration of Hope' CD. Track 12 - Bringing in a Brand New Year and Track 13 - Auld Lang Syne. You can listen to them on Rhapsody...at least that's what I'm doing now.
