The number one song in the nation this date, 42 years ago, was "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by a group called Steam.
The c-writer of the song, Paul Leka, recently died on October 12th. I wrote about him in my history blog on December 1st.
There was not a band called Steam when it was released, just Mr. Leka and his writing partner. The "Na Na Hey Hey" was added to extend the song so it wouldn't be played on radio because it was too long. It was the "B" side and they wanted the "A" side played.

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
