Notes

• Beginning at 3:34 on track 10 ("Auld Lang Syne"), there is a 24.5 second clip of "12 Days of Christmas". The music is the same, but the vocals have been drastically changed. At first they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks, then they have various other goofy sounding voices. The clip is taken from 0:48.5–1:13 of track 3. However, this isn't on later versions.^{[citation needed]}
