No other version of Happy Birthday will work. It is simply THE song.

There are plenty ALS remakes from big ban to techno to house...

I have an excellent Christmas Reggae Medley mix (Promo Copy) that ends with Auld Lang syne but I can't seem to find it on the net.
 
I find the same problem tracking down good happy birthday & auld lang syne variations .
For little kids birthdays i have a great version of happy birthday sung by "little kids" for little kids! For the adults i have a reasonably good happy birthday sung over piano with a pub type atmosphere.My version of Auld Lang Syne, by the Festival Singers is just ok, but i really want a modern day version say with a bit of sax added to spice it up, and it must always be with a vocal not instrumental.How many folks know all the words?!
If some group did a really great version of Auld Lang Syne i'm sure it would sell like hot cakes. I have been in the biz for over 30 years and have never come across anything really good. My guess is there is no copyright issues with Auld Lang Syne so i cant undestand why there aren't any great versions out there. Happy Birthday traditional does have copyright.
 
actually there MUST be a copywrite issue.
after seeing how the wedding business has created a lucrative market for songs that "would be great for your wedding"
I cannot believe someone else had not tried to make money off of the song!

Kenny G's (long and short) version (with and without audio drops)
was the last time I've heard a new version
and that was back in 2000
 
I have a sad bad happy birthday done by Mr Bean (aka Rowan Atkins)

plus there is a Dance version around of Auld Lang Syne

i'll have a look at the alternatives as I use the traditional ones now days
 
Auld Lang Syne was a traditional Scottish folk song. Robert Burns a poet added the lyrics .
Here is the English translation for anyone interested >>

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS
