What Is The Name Of This Song?

[Jack8991]

Ok so there’s this song I can remember, but I can only remember one line and the instrumental. It sounds like an 80s song, sung by what sounds like a black male. The line I remember is it goes, ‘NA NA NANA NA NANA NA’ then the instrumental is somewhat similar to the Daryl Hall and John Oates song ‘I can’t go for that’, obviously not the exact same but a similar ish sound. Any help? Thanks

Is it this one ( much older than the 80's though )

[Jack8991]

Tonyav - no that’s not it, it’s a black male singer I’m sure and it definitely sounds like 80s. Thanks anyway

Its not Vindaloo is it?

[Barsel]

Is it this?

[Barsel]

Sorry, that's nothing like you described.
Can you not remember any of the words, and is it a slow beat record?

[bobbinwales]

Gala free from desire but its female and much later than 80s

status quo nanana ?

[Peter Pedant]

Na nan anana
the next line is - booby dooby dooby
and then a spiky - keep it up, keep it up ya ya keep it uh-up

keep it up is not a dactul - u u but a triple - u u u - what ever that is called

[bobbinwales]

I think PP may be referring to Give It Up By KC & his Sunshine Band

[bobbinwales]

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, now
Baby, give it up
Give it up
Baby, give it up
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na-na, now
Baby, give it up
Give it up
Baby, give it up

[Jack8991]

Thanks for all your ideas guys but I’m afraid none of them are the song. I can only remember that one line as I haven’t heard it in years

[Peter Pedant]

yeah it was thanks
nanana gave the game away up

I have never been able to distinguish words to songs
Rolling stones - route sesterce - named after the roman coin oddly

which made me realise I had inherited my fathers early onset deafness gene. give away was the white forelock

[ToraToraTora]

[bobbinwales]

Good call TTT. Not black but otherwise fits

[ToraToraTora]

yeah well he only said sounds like a black male and I think NANA bit matches.

Is there a song that starts with nana nana, nana nana, hey hey hey, goodbye? Can’t remember the rest of it….

[Mamyalynne]

First reply gives that one Smurf.

[barry1010]

smurf, released in 1960 by Steam - Na na hey hey kiss him goodbye

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye
He'll never love you, the way that I love you
'Cause if he did, no no, he wouldn't make you cry
He might be thrillin' baby but a-my love
(My love, my love)
