Same here !
When we were younger, NO New Year's Eve went by without a slap up party !
I used to dance ny legs off and always got **completely** sloshed !!!
Ah - "Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day --- tralala" !

I'm not surprised - shows he has/had very good taste
:}
It was a smash hit several decades ago and deservedly so. Both the tunes and the lyrics were excellent and the song was translated into many languages.
I guess your father must be (I hope he is still alive and well) of the same generation as myself - (I was born towards the end of January 1925).
