Same Old Lang Syne is a first-person narrative song folk-pop singer Dan Fogelberg recorded for his 1981 album, The Innocent Age.
-
Synopsis
Same Old Lang Syne is based on actual events from an encounter Fogelberg had with his high school ex, Jill Greulich, in Peoria, Illinois in 1975-76. Both were visiting family for Christmas, and the song tells the story straightforwardly.As the lyrics indicate, they met at a grocery store, bought some beer, sat in her car and reminisced about old times. After they finished drinking and talking, they parted ways.
The song hit #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1981, and remains a popular tune during the holiday season, even though "Christmas Eve" is mentioned only once in the entire song.
