This is driving me mad. Can anyone help me find the artist and song name for this bluddy song please so I can find it and listen. This first bit is going round in my head and I have to listen in full to make it go away! I think it’s 1990’s / 2000’s. Thanking you in advance 🙏

Naaa, na-na na naaa,
na-na na naa, na-na naa, na-na naa,
na-na na naaa.

….continues like this for a bit then says “I’m the lyrical (*or possibly miracle) gangster….”

Thanks for all the ear worms - I've got a retro Best Of album playing in my head now

I’m now going to bed with this song in my head.
Nah, na na na nah, na na na nah
Na na nah, na na nah, na na na nah

Soz, and also welcome to my world. I’m spreading the ear-worms to get them out of my head mwa-ha-ha-ha!

It's Here Come The Hotstepper by Ini Kamoze

OP was brilliant in the description because here I am, 50 years old and randomly out loud...

Here comes the hot stepper

🤣

Love that song so much!

coxesorangepippin · 25/09/2025 21:50

Why has Mumsnet taken away the laughing reaction emoji to people’s posts?! 😂😂

Agree Here Comes the Hotstepper. The other one that popped into my head was the one with ‘My lover’s got no money, he’s got his tromboleze (strong beliefs)’ but the rhythm’s not right.

Had no idea it wasn't tromboleze until this moment! Thanks @ElizabethVonArnim that's what I learned today
I also recently learned that jingle bells doesn't have a "one hoare soapen sleigh"

Hey Jude must be the song and it is now my earworm I can only hear the words and tune.😀

My Chemical Romance?

allmymonkeys · 25/09/2025 21:59

Here come the hotstepper. Apparently. I asked Spotify.

It's rather good actually.

Hey Jude

My thoughts exactly!

BlakeCarrington · 25/09/2025 22:03

Yep it’s definitely Here Comes the Hotstepper which I am now listening to on repeat and it’s like scratching my brain itch.

Although I now realise that I mis-led you all by leaving out a vital clue at the very start. It actually goes:

Hit it!

Naaa, na-na na naaa
Na-na na naa, na-na naa, na-na naa etc

(which makes it even better imo 😂)

Should be "mwa-na-na-na," surely? 😁

PuppyMonkey · 25/09/2025 22:05

Hey Jude is nothing like what OP posted. Hey Jude is:

na na na
na-na-na na
na-na-na na
Hey Jude

BumpyaDaisyevna · 25/09/2025 22:06

It’s Hey Jude!

Jacopo · 25/09/2025 22:06

No no no you’re all too young! This exact na nana na naaa thing was copied from Wilson Pickett’s Land of 1000 Dances, released in 1966!

Pharazon · 25/09/2025 22:07

Na na na by My Chemical Romance. Absolute banger.

Hoardasurass · 25/09/2025 22:08

Nah nah nah by my chemical romance
