Chimney Rock by moonlight is awfully sublime. Many Indians came to our wagon with fish in exchange for clothing. We bought a number. They understand "swap" and "no swap." Seemed most anxious to get shirts and socks. Ugh why do I remember this
MrMuppetLover it wasn’t originally a song about New Year, just a song reminding people not to forget the days of auld lang syne (which loosely translated from Scots means “days of long ago”). I think it’s used here in that original context.
@@MrMuppetLover from what little research I've done, it seems that it became a New Year's tradition shortly after the song was published in 1788, even though the author (Robert Burns) was just writing down a song he had heard older people in Scotland singing.
As a kid, I always wondered why were people singing the oregon trail song every year.
simosimo it’s just on Oregon trail
lmao same
As someone who's 26, I just today, 12th of September 2021 learned that this song is apparently associated with new years.
lmao I bet you look just like you pic at age 8 lol
This game is actually where I first heard Auld Lang Syne.
I first heard it in elementary school during music class - there's a Finnish translation of it and it got into a children's songbook.
Same
Same
Me too
To we few that still remember this take of the song: Happy new year 2023! Good luck throughout the year!

Here we are again. Happy New Year 2024! Here’s to hoping it’s a good one!🎉
A certified prairie hood classic.
Oregon Trail needed a song that was in the public domain; personal this is the best performance of Auld Lang Syne that I have heard.
I can not agree with you more. WHO was singing these?!
Could that be the national American anthem song too?
HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2020.
If I ever visit Chimney Rock while on a road trip or something, I'm playing this on a Bluetooth Speaker.
Happy new year 2022 if anyone else still remembers this!
I guess I wasn't the only one who picked this version for 2022.
Happy New Year and God Bless.
@@happyarch5365 and to you, too.
@@TheSmeado I thought I was the only one who still remembers this game 😭 happy new years by the way
Happy 2022 to you
Happy new years everyone 2019
And a Happy New Year to you!
We'll be heading 2019 right now!
man its only 2019 for you guys?
we're driving by it today and had to find this to play it! fun, fun!
Happy New Year 2024
Great Job!!! This is the song that's always sung at New Year's. I'm sure that same song will be there when 2012 comes.
Happy New Year 2024.
Anybody ever play this version of the song on New Year's Day when the clock strikes midnight?
I did this year it was perfect🎉
Weird for the random new year song for Chimney Rock. No one would be on the trail during this time.
Grace Liu Maybe for the dumbasses who would start in August.. and keep their pace at steady.. and stop to rest too many times.
But it’s beautiful. We sang this at my sisters wedding
*Donner Party has entered the chat* (10 years later XD)
Happy New Year!
Hoping to hear this in 2021
I can't even listen to any other version of this song. Every time I do, I just think "not as good as the Oregon Trail".
I love this game
And love the music in it
Happy new year.
Chimney Rock!
Happy New Year Everyone!

Hold up! What's the New Year's song doing in Oregon Trail?

@@benjamingrist6539 When did it become synonymous with New Year?
