Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye - song and crowd chant
I came to know of this song recently in the context of a bill being passed in USA House of Representatives.
Here's a live rendition of what I later learned was a late 1960s classic, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbItRD40KJ0, 3 min. 25 secs.
Here are the lyrics: http://www.metrolyrics.com/na-na-hey-hey-kiss-him-goodbye-lyrics-steam.html
And here's some context about the song when used as a crowd chant from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na_Na_Hey_Hey_Kiss_Him_Goodbye, "In 1977, Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust began playing the song when White Sox sluggers knocked out the opposing pitcher. The fans would sing and a sports ritual was born. The song's chorus remains well-known, and is still frequently used as a crowd chant at many sporting events generally directed at the losing side in an elimination contest when the outcome is all but certain or when an individual player is ejected or disqualified."
