The only one I can recall is the most obvious: New Year's Day by U2. Can you come up with any others?

Prince, 1999? [:D]

Alan Vega also had one about basically the same subject, Bring in the Year 2000.

Well...for one year, Wake Up (it's 1984) by Oingo Boingo was appropriate

Would "Sexcrime (1984)" by the Eurythmics count ?

Happy New Year by Altered Images. It was on one of those flexi-pop singles.

You can take any song with a backwards countdown and pretend they're counting down until the New Year.

Don't know if these classify as New Wave, but:

"Auld Lang Syne" - Chas & Dave
"New Year's Eve Party" - George Thorogood

Definitely not new wave (but she is married to a new wave icon):

"What are you doing New Year's Eve?" by Diana Krall
