That was the best answer -- if still incorrect. 
 The tune/song I was humming was "Auld Lang Syne," as the many crystal-clear hints should have indicated. You all LOSE, and the prize beer dregs have long since been drunk -- much like your thread originator would seem to have been, but wasn't.
Really.
Not very.
 I bet our Easy Livin' could have identified the song correctly -- he's got the Scotch eggs....
Mmmmm... Scotch eggs (my mother's -- not Bob's)!

It was Guy Lombardo. I forget what year the tradition started, but it was he who done it.
