It's Auld Lang Syne, which is from a Robert ('Robbie') Burns poem written in 1788, although the basic idea for the poem has been dated back to as far as 1568!  Robbie Burns was Scotland's favourite poet, and the whole of Scotland celebrates Robbie Burns Night once a year, during which they all get amazingly drunk (which is saying something for the Scots!!)\n\nHowever, it's now widely regarded as the most common song sung in the English language (although some could argue that it's 'Happy Birthday') and is sung at the end of most 'arranged' parties\nand functions such as weddings, barmitzvahs, anniversaries and, of course, on new year's eve.\n\nAll the guests form a circle in the middle of the room, cross their arms over themselves and link hands with the people either side of them and sing the first verse and chorus quite slowly whilst shaking their hands up and sown, then they usually repeat the chorus at a faster pace whilst running in towards the centre of the circle and back out again a number of times, during which most people fail to keep hold of hands and, inevitably, someone falls over and crashes into someone else, but it's all done with a smile!\n \nThe song is sung wrongly by almost everybody - everyone sings "For the sake of auld lang syne" at the end of each stanza but it's just "For Auld Lang Syne"\n\nThe original Burns lyric is as follows:\n\nShould auld acquaintance be forgot\nAn' never brought to mind?\n   (should we forget our old friends and never think of them again?)\nShould auld acquaintance be forgot\nAnd auld lang syne?\n    (should we forget them, and all the old times gone by?)\n\nFor auld lang syne, me jo',\nFor auld lang syne\n     (No!, so out of respect for these times, my joy)\nWe'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet\n      (We will drink happily together one day)\nFor auld lang syne.

Oh god you people are you going to hate me for this...Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End) by the Darkness-not just because my uncle was the guitar technician (now bassist) of them, but it's a really good song and it should have been XMAS number 1.  And also my second choice would either be that weird Slade song or maybe Bohemian Rhapsody-Reminds me of my first Christmas...Freddie Mercury was dead and that was practically all that was on the Radio-anyway that's my 2 cents.

The UK National Anthem is 'God Save the Queen'\n\nEngland doesn't really have  specific one - Land of Hope and Glory refers to Britain too (and the British Empire that used to be).
