Auld Lang Syne has many uses although it has become most recognized as the traditional signature song/poem that marks the ringing out of the old and bringing in of the new.
"Auld Lang Syne"
(Scots pronunciation: [ˈɔːl(d) lɑŋˈsəin]: note "s" rather than "z") is a Scots poem written by Robert Burnsin 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song (Roud # 6294). It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world; its traditional use being to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations and as a farewell or ending to other occasions.
As well as celebrating the New Year, Auld Lang Syne is very widely used to symbolise other "endings/new beginnings" – including farewells, funerals, graduations, the end of a (non-New Year) party or a Boy Scout gathering, the election of a new government, the last lowering of the Union Jack as a British Colony achieves independence and even the closing of a retail store. The melody is also widely used for other words, especially the songs of sporting and other clubs, and even national anthems. In Scotland and other parts of Britain, in particular, it is associated with celebrations and memorials of Robert Burns.
A more modern version of ‘Auld Lang Syne’ was released in 1980 and sung by the late, great, singer/songwriter Dan Fogelberg. Fogelbergs version was titled ‘Same Old Lang Syne’.
What does all this have to do with Mafia Wars? We don’t rightly know. Many are speculating that Zynga is sending us hidden messages that the game may be on it’s last leg. And it may very well be. But remember that ‘Auld Lang Syne’ can also represents the bringing in of the new. We, therefore, could just as easily speculate that changes may soon come to Mafia Wars. Remember back around April 10, 2012 Zynga had suggested Avatars as a possible feature for Mafia Wars. We will have to wait and see.
