"Auld Lang Syne" is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. Well known worldwide,  especially in the English-speaking world, Auld Lang Syne is  traditionally used to bid farewell to the old year at the stroke of midnight on December 31st. It is also sung as a farewell or ending at funerals, graduations and other occasions. For example, the International Boy Scouts use it to close some of their meetings. 
The song's Scots title may be translated into standard English as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago",[4] "days gone by" or "old times". "For auld lang syne" could be loosely translated as "for (the sake of) old times".

The phrase "Auld Lang Syne" is also used in similar poems written in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. And author Matthew Fitt uses the phrase "In the days of auld lang syne" as the equivalent of "Once upon a time..." in his modern retelling of fairy tales in the Scots language.

Danny Boy ukulele - 21 Songs in 6 Days: Learn Ukulele the Easy Way

Danny Boy is a ballad written by English lawyer and pet Frederic Weatherly in Bath, 1910. It is usually song to the Irish tune called Londonderry Air. His sister-in-law Margaret sent him a copy of Londonderry Air in 1913; he then changed the lyrics of Danny boy to fit Londonderry Air. Weatherly gave the song to singer Elsie Griffin who helped make it one of the most popular songs of the early 1900’s.  

There are various theories as to the true meaning of "Danny Boy". Some have interpreted the song to be a message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the Irish diaspora. The 1918 version of the sheet music included alternative lyrics ("Eily Dear"), with the instructions that "when sung by a man, the words in italic should be used; the song then becomes "Eily Dear", so that "Danny Boy" is only to be sung by a lady". In spite of this, it is unclear whether this was Weatherly's intent.

"Danny Boy" is considered to be an unofficial signature song by Irish Americans and Irish Canadians.  The song is popular for funerals. In 1928, Weatherly himself suggested that the second verse would provide a fitting requiem for the actress Ellen Terry. A big band version of the song is used as the theme for The Danny Thomas Show (a.k.a. Make Room for Daddy).

"Danny Boy" was used to represent Northern Ireland at the start of the London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony, sung by a choir of children on the Giant's Causeway. On November 25, 2014, the Vancouver Canucks used the song in honor of the recently deceased Pat Quinn, who played and worked in many executive capacities for the team.

"Danny Boy" has a wide range and is great for showing off a fine singing voice.

For He's a Jolly Good Fellow Ukulele - 21 Songs in 6 Days: Learn Ukulel...

For He's a Jolly Good Fellow Ukulele - 21 Songs in 6 Days: Learn Ukulele the Easy Way - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqvvE7i4K80&feature=youtu.be



"For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" or "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" (depending on gender) is sung to congratulate someone.  It’s often sung after an event such as a promotion, birthday, wedding, a wedding anniversary, birth of a child, or the winning of a championship sporting event. According to the Guinness World Records, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" is the second-most popular song in the English language, following "Happy Birthday to You" (see our video https://youtu.be/0nQYxVwZ5AY) and followed by "Auld Lang Syne”(see our video https://youtu.be/-YnoIy5pgVA )



The melody originates from the French song "Marlbrough s'en va-t-en guerre" ("Marlborough Has Left for the War"). The traditional children's song “The Bear Went Over the Mountain” is sung to the same tune. It dates at least from the 18th century and was probably composed in 1709 the night after the Battle of Malplaquet. It was popularized by Marie Antoinette after she heard one of her maids singing it, and became so well known in France that  Beethoven actually used the melody to represent the French defeat in his 1813 composition "Wellington's Victory" Opus 91.



The melody crossed the English Channel and became widely popular in the United Kingdom. By the mid-19th century it was being sung at all-male social gatherings with the words "For he's a jolly good fellow". By 1862, it had crossed the Pacific Ocean and was familiar in America.



The British and American versions of the lyrics differ. "And so say all of us" is typically British, while "which nobody can deny" is regarded as the American version. However, the song has been included in a number of English literary works using the American lyric "which nobody can deny”, including Charles Dickens in “Household Words”, Hugh Stowell Brown in “Lectures to the Men of Liverpool” and James Joyce in “Finnegans Wake”. In addition, the 1935 American film “Ruggles of Red Gap”, set in rural Washington state, ends with repeated choruses of “For He’s Jolly Good Fellow”, with the two variations sung alternately. This may have been chosen by the writer or director because while the crowd singing it is almost completely American, the person they are singing it about is British.
