The singer could use a good sauna.....and a shave,while he's busy. So do the rest of the band,for that matter..what the heck's up there? Moustaches galore.it seems.Not steamy;'xept for the drummer,who knew better.
This reminds me of the early 90s when i was a tiny kid and my dad played on a recreational softball team and everyone would go to this pizza place that you could order pitchers of beer and stuff and me and the other little kids would just get into everything and pour salt and pepper in peoples drinks when they werent looking. but i always remember all the drunk people sang this everytime a person left the restaurant hahahahaha
The band members actually despised this song when embarking on their musical careers. It was going to be relegated to the Bside of a prospective hit. It was also give the minimal fixups. A studio official advised them that the song should be made a single. They got riled up over that suggestion but cooler heads prevailed and Na Na was given a try. It ironically became the only #1 hit. Still much beloved.
This brings back great memories, best song ever! I was a junior in high school, me & my best friend went to University of Georgia for football weekend with one of my teachers who was right out of college for a football weekend. He lined us up dates with two college girls at a soriety party. This song came on, we were dancin and in high heaven. When we got back to school Monday, we were the talk and still riding on cloud nine. Everytime I hear this song I remember that night. LOL
@toskoramone I thought that was the style in that decade. I'm not sure what you mean they're studio musicians. As opposed to street performers? I'm confused, I'm sure if you're trying to insult them or what.
I want to know who in the band was belting the lead lyrics at the end of this song? in the video I mean. He's not on stage that I can see. Great song from the 70's
this one is another great song for me and my best friend/hubby who passed on i love him no matter where i go i will always love my big mikey aka big daddy bass.........,love needy.
My Brother Aug use to love this song...we were from Detroit..and I never knew until Youtube they were White guys...ha ha ha ha hey hey who would of thought.
With such a great song it's a shame the producers couldn't come up with a better video clip. The lads look pretty uninterested and they seem to be miming to a completely different song, their miming is so terrible. I strongly suspect the song was made with session musos rather than the band members. That aside, it is still a fantastic 60s relic.
@nunuloki The story here is that this was intended as a solo project for singer Garrett Scott (aka Gary deCarlo) and he was working with members of his old band the Chataeus. The label said to come up with a b-side and they used a discarded song from their old band, used the drum track from another recording, and added the na-nas to make it too annoying for radio DJs to play. They also were so embarrassed that they made up a band name, Steam...to be continued
@KeithThompson1530 ...Anyway, radio flipped it and it became a hit and the producer Paul Leka had to put a band together to go on the road. I don't think the musicians on the road or in the video were on the recording.
@KeithThompson1530 You're probably right. These guys look generally off the beat of the whole thing. Plus, during the drum solo, the drummer obviously wasn't playing it at all... no keyboard player... but they had multiple guitar players. WTF? Great, great song though. I was a little kid when it broke (late '69)... always found it sort of haunting.
This is a great song that almost never was if you read the history about it. I bet after it sky rocketed to number 1 and stayed there for some time the band members were totally amazed. Great beat, tone, and lyrics. Fantastic song for lifting the spirts and giving that good feeling about where you were and what you were doing when the song started being played everywhere. Thanks Steam.
There is another video where the timing is right on. There is no lip syncing going on. This particuLar video is botched up terribly. I will always love Scott Garret!
Although I love this song, I can see that the lead singer does not know the words of it so it doesn't surprise me it's not the original band. Would've loved to see the original band....too bad!
@VortigernPendragon I did too! They were just on this evening on a PBS Show and they showed alot of 60's hitmakers. The lead singer looked really good..damn good! Ah, my childhood!
K, something I was wondering.. why is it alright for white people to play this song to humiliate the opposing team when they are already down from a loss, but if a black football player spikes the ball out of celebration and exuberance from scoring a touchdown, that is a punishable offense?
Such a great song. I remember it being used on a Stephen King series called 'Kingdom Hospital' and it struck me just how strange, otherwordly and spooky this tune can be in the right context.
