<p>In Western countries (or New Zealand at least), auld lang syne is a very common song over the the New Year holiday. Is there an equivalent song in Chinese that everyone instantly associates with Chinese new year? Or are there a range of popular new year songs?</p>

It comes from Scottish originally - just a common song for singing around the new years holiday. I suggest you check out the [Wikipedia page](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne) to give you some more information about it.

In fact, this famous song has a Chinese version called 《友谊地久天长》(*the friendship will last forever*), however, we traditionally don't sing songs to celebrate over festivals, so this song is not popular in this peroid of time.

I can't think of such a popular song as "auld lang syne" in the west. Over this period, you wll find a lot of songs(different melodies, different lyrics, different singers) with the same theme "happy new year" on the street or in the markets(to convey the happiness or to attract more customers).
