Phil Collins Wants You To See In The New Year With The Drum Solo From 'In The Air Tonight'

Phil Collins has suggested an alternative musical moment to Auld Lang Syne to usher in 2018.

For this New Year, the former Genesis drummer thinks you should try the drum break from his smash hit In The Air Tonight.

The 66-year-old told his Twitter followers earlier this month: “If you play In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins on December 31st at 11:56:40 the drum break will play as the clock strikes midnight.”

If you play 'In The Air Tonight’ by Phil Collins on December 31st at 11:56:40 the drum break will play right as the clock strikes midnight. Start off your new year right.

The song, released in 1981 and inspired by splitting with his first wife Andrea Bertorelli, enjoyed a return to prominence in 2007 after Cadbury’s deployed a drumming gorilla to bash out the famous rhythm.

After the Collins tweet, people made other suggestions ...

If you play "Bring me to life" by evanescence at eactly 11:59:08 on new years eve the first "Wake Me Up" will play at exactly Midnight.

Start 2018 the right way.

If you play “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus at exactly 11:57:10 on December 31st, you’ll hear “I came in like a Wrecking Ball” as the clock strikes midnight. Enter 2018 the right way.

If you play John Cage's 4'33" at exactly 11:57:12pm on New Year's Eve, the part where you have an introspective breakdown about the arbitrary nature of the very concept of "years" will happen exactly at midnight. Kick off 2018 the right way. Or don't, whatever, nothing changes.

️️️IMPORTANT REMINDER️️️
Do not play @PhilCollinsFeed In the Air Tonight at 11:56:40 to ring in the New Year. It is an overrated drum break in an otherwise dull song. Be the host(ess) with the most(ess). Play Prince. https://t.co/RD3Qw8mazN

And not just music ...

If you start at the 90th minute of the May 2012 @ManCity v QPR match exactly at 11:56:40 PM on December 31st, you’ll have Martin Tyler scream Aguerrooooo! to you right as the clock hits midnight. Start off your new year right. http://pic.twitter.com/l9t2QocXo1

Politics too ...

If you play my podcast with Aileen on political and legal constitutionalism on December 31st at 11:56:40 we’ll discuss judicial strike down of primary legislation right as the clock strikes midnight. Start off your new year right. https://t.co/HbAPKbdIs7

Some were more realistic ...

If you play “In The Air Tonight” at precisely 11:56:40 tonight it won’t matter because I will have fallen asleep at 9:30 watching Pawn Stars.

But with the southern hemisphere already in January 1, 2018, the early signs are that it might not have been such a great idea.

Citizens of Earth, I have grave news from the future here in Melbourne, Australia.
We did the Phil Collins 11:56:40 thing but it unlocked some kind of Hell portal. Utter carnage here. Phil Collinses everywhere, gnawing at lampposts, smashing in shopfronts, rutting in the street

MY ADVICE TO ALL SINGLE GUYS:

Some guys are still naive and ignorant of what marriage really entails. Before you marry a lady, there are many things you need to consider. Look beyond her shape, beauty, etc.
.
Her beautiful shape, pretty face and sexy b***s will not give you a happy married life. You should be more concerned about those things that will make you enjoy your marriage. Right now many men are enduring their marriage. They are not enjoying it. The reason is that they married their wife because she is sexy, she is beautiful, she is good in bed and she has sexy shape. I wouldn't want you to make the same mistake. Before proposing to a girl,
.
1. Check her family background. Find out about the type of parents she has. It is dangerous to have bad in-laws.
.
2. The lady herself should be a Godfearing lady. You need God in your marriage.
.
3. She may not be 100% perfect in character but she should be a lady who takes correction and accepts her faults whenever she does a wrong thing.
.
4. She should be submissive and respect you.
.
5. She should be a lady who gives you advice and helps you to plan your life and who has something meaningful to offer to your life; not a girl who has nothing to offer except sex.
.
DON'T FORGET - Marriage is not all about sex. It is an institution.
