20 Best Gibberish Lyrics: No. 15

  • Posted   by Spinner Staff

"Na-na-na-na,
Hey hey, goodbye"

--'Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye),' Steam (1969)

One of the most articulate kiss-offs -- to an ex, or an opposing team's player -- ever, this ditty ranks among rock's great accidental hits. Tossed out as a B-side by a band that had broken up by the time of its release, "Na Na" wasn't even finished -- merely a guide vocal laid down to be replaced by real lyrics. The taunting tenor of the nonsense syllables is so effective that even decades later, it's still an ideal way to bid a not-so-fond farewell.

This is the perfect song for those that have political views that no matter who is office. Everything is still the same we are still at the status quo for killing in fact exceeding it. So as for change na na na hey hey hey goodbye!! Although "change" was a nice slant for the simple minded. Some of you really bought it huh? In fact bought alot more than you bargained for:) The cost is high and know what NOBODY cares about your loss. Does not serve the bandwagon. It is sink or swim baby some of you are sinking the rest are complaining. To divert the fact they are next in line.

The old MTV show Remote Control is where this song started being used and chanted when someone lost and was kicked off. People still use it today & probably have no idea that it was stolen from the MTV show Remote Control.

I'm sorry to inform you Ramone, that song has been around a few years before MTV existed. If that song was used by a program on MTV, they borrowed it from someone else, Steam.

diymoron, no kidding it was borrowed. I was pointing out that the chants at sporting events, on television, etc. All rip off the show Remote Control, where losers were greeted by the song's chorus. No kidding that the song existed prior to MTV, you have to be a complete idiot not to understand that, which you might be because you didn't seem to.

Yeah, now WE do the rape and torturing!

Besides, JOhn, quit pretending like you "care" about the Iraqis. They're just more brown people to shoot, right?

Bush didn't stop them. Nice try.

No proof of the Atta meeting. Again, nice try. And considering this administration has consistently lied in order to justify the war in Iraq, there's no reason to

I'm sure you're signed up to go, right? Or are you a typical chickenhawk?

The ROE are to avoid civilians from getting shot. I'm sure mentality is "If it's brown, it's down."
The ROE are also to avoid having our troops accidentally kill EACH OTHER. And it happens
A LOT, sparky.

Now go die in a fire with the rest of your redneck jesus cult.

To ahhdeja; You rock! I agree wholeheartedly! Re; The gibberish lyrics. Not sure why it's even on gibberish list. Always seemed pretty clear to me. lol :)

John, simmer. It's all going to be ok. :)

To JOhn:

First of all, if you're going to write a politically-charged rant, try using the Rules of Correct Grammar and Spelling. Leave the Rules of Engagement alone until you master the first set, okay?

Secondly, chill. This list is supposed to be light-hearted and entertaining, not political and...well, bitchy. Dude, Bush sucks. A lot of people think so. If you don't, that's fine. That doesn't mean you have the right to rant at other people for having different opinions. Sure, TFW38 made a political comment, too, but yours was just unnecessary and...again, bitchy.

To anyone else:

This song probably wouldn't work as a farewell to Bush. Maybe if you sing the first two lines over and over and over again...

You both are friggin' liberals. Talking about music ans you still have to run your nefarious pie holes about politics.

Reign of terror. Ya, go tell that to the rape room victims or the bee stung victims. Reign of terror by stoppping 3 terroist acts that would have been committed here.

A sham. Since you don't believe the CIA then I guess the Czech intelligence was/is right.
