Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye - Story Behind The Song

The most unlikely hit pop song in history? In 1969 a few friends began working on a throwaway record as the B side to another song. The result? An infectious pop song and one of the most enduring chants in the history of the world. For more stories just like this, visit / @tunesman100

In 1970 we sang that song in high school at basketball games.

[@chriskelly1890]

Exactly. The Maryland Terrapins basketball fans incorporated the song into games very soon after the release. The White Sox were late to the table.

Great video cant wait for more amazing content keep posting bye!!!

[@halfmoonfabrics356]

Great video!😃

[@preahko]

This is such great research and history!! So many late 60s "bands" never really existed. See also, "Ohio Express"...

Great intel, I love this song! Now I can't get it out of my head - keep posting!

Awesome video

[@blowupbob1]

Just watched a video of Steam doing this song "LIVE". You left a link in the comments that brought me here. Thanks for the good information. Those guys weren't even trying to make it look real. What a joke! Lancelot Link Secret Chimp's band could have done a more believable performance!

[@preahko]

I wish that instead of "Steam," they had gone with "Man Hole"!!

[@dfo132]

Interesting that the narrator says the instrumentation is “drums, percussion, organ and piano” when one of my favorite parts is the very prominent vibraphone.

[@annoyingbstard9407]

Interesting that you didn’t know a vibraphone is a percussion instrument. Have you been trying to blow it?

Does anyone know who's in the video for the song? I'm curious to know who those guys are. Are any of them actually the people who sang the song?

[@tunesman100]

The guys in the video had nothing to do with the song itself. They were hired after it was released to portray the band "Steam" and to go on tour as the band that recorded the song. It was a big ruse.

[@weekenderBOYLOVE]

@@tunesman100I'll tell you the truth. In the video the "lead" singer is really cute and HOT and I wanna know where I can find more. Also How did they go on tour if the guys on the cover don't actually sing. Did they lip sync their ass off on stage? LOL I STILL WOULD"VE WATCHED just to see that "lead" singer. MMMMM such a cutie. I could just eat him up.

[@ginarobinson4483]

They lipsync, kiss them good bye😅😂
