You people, I could use your help with a project. I'm trying to put together a list of "Nah Nah" songs. I'm talking about songs that have a significant amount of "nah nah" in the lyrics. Here's what I've got so far.

Hey Jude (Beatles) - The queen mother of all nah nah songs.
How Do You Do (Mouth & MacNeal) - an old one, only hillbilly hippies will remember
Rich Girl (Gwen Stefani)

There's that one by Journey, can't remember the name for sure. I know there's more.

That horrible mid 90's "rap" song, Here comes the hot stepper. Garbage song, but I dated a girl that liked it so it's etched in my brain.

I'm pretty sure Bobby McFerrin had one, but I can't get the title right now. I think it was on Medicine Music, but I'm not sure.

It goes like this:

So you can suck my **** if you don't like... my ****.

Cuz I was high when I wrote this, so suck... my ****.

I don't remember the title.

I think that Hanson band from Tulsa has a Na na song also.

EDIT: Don't forget "Welcome to the Jungle"

Sha nanananananana eeeezzzze! (or something like that)

does boomer sooner count?

na na na NAH! na na na NAH! na na na NAH! na na na NAH!

"come back to texas" by Bowling for Soup has nah nah's in the background.

Michael Jackson's "P.Y.T." has a pretty extensive "Nah nah" part in the middle. It also has a sweet robot voice.

That's more of a "ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah" isn't it?

I thought it was "Buh buh buh, buh buh buh buh buh"

Actually, it could be "unh uh uh, unh uh uh uh uh". Depends on one's BAC.
