In place of their names, the trio okayed it going out under the name Steam.Īfter the success of this record, the public wanted to hear more from this band, Steam, but the problem was, the band never even existed. The three musicians responsible for the cut hated the song and refused to put their names on the record, but did decide to take credit for the songwriting, which would later turn out to be a pretty smart move on their part, considering "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)" which was realesed as a single in late 1969, rose to number one on the charts and sold more than a million copies in America alone. Well, when their record company's managment heard this "B"-Side, they decided it should be the single. When they were writing the chorus into the song, they had a tune, but no lyrics, so they substituted "na na na na, na na na na." do yanga yanga yanga i go do yanga yanga yanga yanga yanga I have a father that can never ever fail me ehn oh na nah oh na na nah He is my pride and he is my foundation na so oh na nah Yes he is my foundation na so So tell me why i no go change my style when i am with the master oh na. Some former members of a band called The Chateaus were putting together some "B" sides for some singles their label wanted to release, and they decided to record a song they had previously performed called "Kiss Him Goodbye".

There's an interesting story behind how this track came to be. The song title is : "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye", and the artist is Steam.
