Funny Rock Commercial Nah Nah Hey Hey

Thread Status:: Not open for further replies.

Hi there, I've got this song stuck in my head and I don't know what it's called. All I know is that the chorus goes:
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
several times. The chorus sounds mostly female, yet the lead singer is male. It's a rock song (probably "adult" rock), with a guitar/piano intro that sounds like the chorus (above). I've done so many google searches and have not come up with it. This song is at least from the mid 1990s... anyone know what its called? Please help

Just to advise you, google search does not help. Again, this chorus is broken into sections between verses, and is sung as a whole at the end (several times)
Counting Crows "A Long December"?
No, its faster than that, thanks for the suggestion though
Maybe Roxette's "The Look" from "Look Sharp!"? The final chorus is mostly nah nah nah nah nah etc... by the female singer in the group and the rest is mostly sung by the guy.
It's not "Cuts Like A Knife" by Bryan Adams? (nah, can't be)
Thanks, but I don't think that's it... like I said in my terrible description, it has a ton of nah nah's in it, throughout the entire song
And its not Brian Adams, either
If it helps any Washingtonians (DC area), they occasionally play it on WASH-FM.

It's not Sheryl Crow's "Na Na Song", is it?

One two three!
One two three!

Gotta know how to pony
Like Bony Maronie
Mashed Potato
Do The Alligator
Put your hands on your hip now
Let your backbone slip oh
Do The Watusi
Like my little Lucy

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Come on, alley
Like long tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' The Watusi
Gotta hold of your back
I said I like it like that
Do The Jerk, now
Watch me work, now

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Come on, alley
Like long tall Sally
Twistin' with Lucy
Doin' The Watusi
Lord, help me!
Oh, help me!
Oh, help me!

Check The Covers Project: Chris Kenner website to see if you can identify the version you're thinking of. Not listed is a version also covered by Tina Turner.
Is it 'Head Over Heals' by Tears For Fears?

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention
You keep your distance fear the system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration that I need you this much
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just wasting time

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

I made a fire and watching burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No no no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air (Changes with those...)
And dreaming I'm a doctor (They can't stop...)
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...

Something happens and I'm head over heels
I never find out till I'm head over heels
Something happens and I'm head over heels
Ah don't take my heart
Don't break my heart
Don't throw it away

(Throw it away)

Na Na Na Na Na, Na na na na na na na na (repeat)

And this my four leaf clover
I'm on the line, one open mind
This is my four leaf clover
In my minds eye
One little boy, one little man
Funny how, time flies
Natalie Merchant had a hit in the 90's that went "na na na na, na na na na". Don't know the name of it but she sings "I want to thank you" over and over... could this be it?
Now the coolest one with such a chorus is Uriah Heep's Lady in Black, though it's sure not your song!
That's called 'Kind And Generous (thank you)' just to let you know.
Journey Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'
or
Stean- NA NA NA HEY HEY GOODBYE
It's not Hey Jude, I definetly know that song! And it's not Sheryl either. No luck with 1000 dances. It's not a depressing song, but its not a really happy peppy song either... so no "hey's or other exclamations".
Like I said, it's a GUY that sings the main parts and a mixed (probably mostly female) chorus that says: "nah nah nah nah naaaah naaaah, nah nah nah nah naahh naaaah naaaah naaaah naaaah, naaaah..." sort of like that
I'm almost positive it's 'Head Over Heals' by Tears For Fears. You can listen to the clip using the link on my first post in this thread.
It a great f'ing song regardless.
Thank you!
that could be it, I just need to hear more of it... regardless I agree it's a good song, and I'll def. download it, legally of course
Yes!!! Sucess! That's It!!! Thank You Soo Much Jared
