I cringe...
...whenever I hear anyone sing, "For the sake of Auld Lang Syne..."
AAAAHHHGGGHHH!

because it's a bastardisation of the original...
...and just wrong.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days o' lang syne?
Chorus
For auld lang syne, my Dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And surely ye'11 be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang etc
We twa hae run about the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang etc
We twa hae paidlet i' the burn
Frae morning sun sill dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne
For auld lang etc
And there's a hand, my trusty feire
And gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak a right gude-willie waught
For auld lang syne
For auld lang etc

Should old friends be forgotten
and never remembered
Should old friends be forgotten
and the days they shared together
Chorus
For days now in the past, my dear
For days now in the past
We'll drink a toast of kind remembrance
For days now in the past
You can pay for your pint tankard
and I will pay for mine
We'll drink a toast of kind remembrance
For days now in the past
We two have run about the hillsides
and pulled wild daisies
but now we are far apart in distance
From those days now in the past
We two have paddled in the stream
from morning untill noon
but oceans now lie between us
since those days now in the past
So take my hand, my trusty friend
and give me your hand
and we will take a hearty drink together
In memory of those days now in the past
