A so-called One-hit Wonder , the band — originally a studio group — had already broken up by the time the song (intended to go straight to B-side) was released. The song became a surprise smash hit and rose to the top of the pop charts instantly. A touring band was quickly assembled by the producers, but did not last very long. The group and song were largely forgotten in the ensuing days of Disco until the 1977 Major League Baseball season, when Chicago White Sox Organist Nancy Faust began playing the tune when opposing pitchers were relieved, or when the Sox had clearly won the game. Fans began singing along, and playing the song during sporting events gradually became a tradition. References
Lyric The verse of the song centers on the singer telling a woman the reasons why she should dump her current beau. The lengthy, repetitive fade-out chorus is the part that is typically sung by the fans. ''Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye'' |
