I thought that too, but according to the AKW (all-knowing Wikipedia) these are Robert Burns' original lines which he based on an old song. Some later variations include inserting additional words such as "And days of" to add a word to each beat for easier singing.
I always thought it went "Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind." I tried "brought to mind" and didn't work so I went for the title. LOL I think I've singing it wrong for years but then again... who's sober on New Years Eve! 🥂🎇 Great quiz!
I couldn't remember "Pumped Up Kicks," but that's because I really freaking hate that song and I change the station the second it comes on. It's so awful.
Nah, the fans are just much less vocal than the critics. If you like Oasis, you don't feel like making the world like them. But if you hate them, you want everyone to know.
I don't hate them, just am indifferent...I don't hit "next" instantly for them like I do for Coldplay, Nickelback or Celine Dion for instance...hmmm an interesting idea for a quiz if Spotify can and will supply the data...
No, breathe should not be accepted as it is a completely different word - I am very surprised you genuinely think 'breath' and 'breathe' are the same word (judging from your comment) but one is just an American spelling!
Should Auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of Auld Lang Syne? For Auld Lang Syne, my dear, for Auld Lang Syne. We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet for the sake of Auld Lang Syne. Etc.
Although I still understood what the answer was, (and there are some slight variations of the song) I think more people would answer if the hint was changed slightly.

Great quiz overall :)
“Pay phone” is merely the concept of a phone that requires payment to use.
and days of .... "
WRONG!
The final line is
"and auld lang syne"
For some reason, Americans have corrupted this and 99% of the population of the world now sing the wrong words.
While I'm at it, "syne" is pronounced exactly as it appears, ie Syne. NOT zyne!
