I don't think so. Chukat hagoy is drinking champagne and kissing your
wife at the stroke of midnight while listening to strains of Auld Lang
Syne (or is that only in America)?

Oh, no. It's big in the US, (too?) You just don't go to the "right"
parties. But you knew that part, didn't you? Neither do I but I have
spies.

There needs to be a new standard Auld Lang Syne - perhaps a
version by Joan Jett (our age) or someone our kids' age.

Wasn't that the wannabe convert in the NY Times article whose fiance
cooked the ham for Christmas?

Her name was Jett. I forget her first name.
Wasn't Joan Jett involved with the Jetsons?

Wikipedia:
Joan Jett (born Joan Marie Larkin September 22, 1958) is an American
rock guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer and actress.
She is best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
including their hit cover "I Love Rock N' Roll", which was #1 on the
Billboard charts from March 20 to May 1, 1982, as well as for their
other popular recordings including "Crimson and Clover", "I Hate Myself
for Loving You", "Do You Want to Touch Me", "Light of Day", "Love Is All
Around", "Bad Reputation" and "Little Liar."
Her musical and song-writing approach is heavily influenced by the
hard-edged, hard beat-driven rhythms common to many rock bands of her
native Philadelphia, often featuring lyrics surrounding themes of lost
love, criticisms of insincerity, the struggles and resolution of the
American working class, and the quest for authenticity

Thanks. I'll stick with the traditional Auld Lang Syne.

You know, even though both of us speak English, and neither of our
familess lived in an English speaking country more than 200 or 100
year, and I'm somewhat interested in the origin and meaning of auld,
lang, and syne**, I have the feeling that since you're British, you're
more interested than I am. Or better put, that somehow the US
relationship to Old English has been more nearly severed than the
British relationship. Even though they spent some time on Beowolf in
high school English.
It's hard to measure these things, of course.

I read all of that once, but like many things, I've forgotten it.

Wiki:
The song's Scots title may be translated into English literally as "old
long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago", "days gone by" or
"old times".

Trivia question == Try this without google.
One song containing the words "Should Auld Acquaintence be Forgot"
is Auld Lang Syne.
And some old English and Scotish poetry also contains those or
similar words.
But can anyone name a good old American song (later borrowed by the
Australians) with those same words?

"(You're a) Grand Old Flag". Sung with the same tune, no less.

Was that actually ever "Auld"???
Wasn't it written after the spelling was more codified?

Very good!
George M Cohan would be very proud of you :^)

I believe that the lyric in the chorus is spelled "auld" but the title
was "old" (written in the very early 20th century CE, if I recall corrcetly.

You confused me, but you mean for that one line has the same tune.
Yes.
