Countdown to Armageddon? Win Yen New Year Tickets!
It’s only five days till 2012, but you’ve still got one big decision to make: Where are you going to be at midnight on New Year’s Eve?

Gigantic warehouse? Mind-melting visual effects? Ground-shaking sound system? Yen’s got them all – and what more do you need?

Awww, cheap shot. The Mayan calendar doesn't predict the end of the world, it just signifies the end of the 13th baktun, or calendar cycle, and the beginning of the next one. But I digress.
But, if it did happen to be the last song, I think it'd be hilarious to see everyone singing/doing the "YMCA" as the Earth explodes.

Monty Python - "Always Look On the Bright Side of Life". Hilarious yet poignant, the one song to properly capture the dark absurdity of it all.
Close second: AC/DC - "Highway to Hell". For the unfettered hedonistic joy of its nihilism. Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
No Britney, please.
