Perennial Chinese New Year “Favourites”?

I’m talking about Chinese New Year songs here.

Cousin Robert remarked that they are like Christmas songs - we’ve been hearing the same Chinese New Year songs ever since we were young. I agree with him - the singers may be different, but the songs are always the same.

You hear them blaring out in the shopping complexes. I wouldn’t call any of them my favourites, but they do have a way of sticking in the mind, much like nursery rhymes.

Right now, I have one going on and on in my head, and for some reason, I’m hearing “Frosty the Snowman” in it, too - are they that alike??
