Hey Hey Goodbye

[edit]

In the chorus, it goes "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye". There's no "kiss him" at all. 67.188.172.165 22:32, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was at the game against the Twins when the chant first started. But I recall the fans spontaneously chanting as described in the article in response to Faust’s playing the tune. MTP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.213.194.59 (talk) 16:01, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is it worth mentioning that the song was first recorded in 1964 by The Dave Clark Five? It was on the DC5 album "GLAD ALL OVER".

And parodied in "I Like Marijuana" on Have a Marijuana (1968) by David Peel. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 19:48, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In the fall of 1964, at the St.John’s-Gonzaga football game, the SJHS students chanted the “Na Na Na……Good bye” verse when Coly O’Brien returned a punt for a touchdown. 2600:1700:ED5:E010:84AB:4A03:49F0:AB16 (talk) 12:52, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The claim about the song being on Glad All Over (Dave Clark Five album) doesn't seem to be correct. Muzilon (talk) 00:12, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We now have the testimony of an actual witness to these events

[edit]

This article has now been revised by one of the actual participants to the Na Na Hey Hey phenomenon - the drummer. Because I know Paul Leka, Joe Messina, and all the other people who were involved personally and I was signed to Mercury Records as a member of Steam, the information that I have put into this article is my personal experience when I was a member of the band. Steam was nothing more than a musical accident that a few people were able to capitalize upon and exploit. Signed, P.C. Van Vogt P.C. Van Vogt (talk) 14:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who really wrote this? Jeffrey Cheen tells his version

[edit]

I'm inclined to believe Jeffrey Cheen's account. Jeffrey Cheen interview on YouTube about Na Na Hey Hey etcetera — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merzon (talkcontribs) 14:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We could have a long footnote about all the people who have come forward years later to claim they were involved in recording the song. For instance, Tommy Mottola says he was a backing vocalist,[1] whereas Gary DeCarlo insists it was just the trio of DeCarlo, Leka, and Frasheur on vocals. —Muzilon (talk) 03:04, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Kingdom's Hospital"

[edit]

I can't understand, but I somehow had heard this song clearly in 4-th episode of the subject's series. M.b. somebody can add it to the article or proof me wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.37.141.199 (talk) 14:07, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Release date

[edit]

The song debuted at #37 on the 27 October 1969 WLS 890 Hit Parade. Therefore the song was released before November 1969. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.185.97.165 (talk) 20:41, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
