What will you be listening to at midnight, as 2017 rolls over into 2018? I mean, what exact part of which specific song? This sounds like a question for deranged control freaks only, but it’s not: planning your New Year’s Eve bangers down to the second is a very good, very funny new meme.
Will you ring in 2018 to the iconic chorus of Toto’s “Africa?”
If you play “Africa” by Toto at exactly 11:58:43pm on New Year’s Eve, the first chorus will play at exactly midnight. Kick off 2018 the way it’s meant to be

Will you play the air drums along with Phil Collins?

You could go the High School Musical route:
If you play “Gotta Go My Own Way” from High School Musical 2 at 11:57:59 on New Years Eve, Troy’s part will kick in at exactly midnight. Start 2018 properly

Or just stick with the classics:

Some cynics are mocking the meme, but no matter. It’s fun as heck.
If you play "any song you want" on exactly New Year’s Eve, you will kick off 2018 the way it’s meant to be and that way is the way you want it.

If you play John Cage's "4'33" at 11:58 on new years eve then the deafening silence and existential dread that embodies your sad empty life will come in at exactly midnight! Start 2018 properly,
