The Strange Second Life of “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye”
In The Way Back, the opposing team's fans serenade Ben Affleck with “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” after he's ejected from a game. I have a nostalgic fondness for that song, which I heard constantly during sporting events as a kid. So, for MEL, I dug into its odd history -- first, as an unlikely No. 1 hit and, then, as a sports anthem. Hope you enjoy.
