December 17: “Same Old Lang Syne”by Dan Fogelberg.  Ready for a fun fact? Today’s song is the 1812th SOTD and I managed to find a December-appropriate song (loosely) based on the 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky; according to songfacts.com: The melody phrase at the beginning of each verse (“Met my old lover at the grocery store…”) was taken by Fogelberg from Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture.” (To get the effect, just sing that lyric twice, slightly speeded up. Maybe add a few fireworks explosions for good measure.) Happy Birthday to Bob Witeck! xo SONG FAQs LYRICS & SONGFACTS APPLE MUSIC
