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….”

Land of a thousand dances.

That was my first thought, showing my age, lol

The na na’s were sampled from that in hotstepper.

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!

Their version was a cover from 2962, others had done it before them.

I always heard the bit ' murderer' as ' burder rock'

The energy level in the live versions is off the scale.

As others have said, you just had to google the lyrical gangster lyric and you’d have it.

Why is everyone saying Hey Jude?? Is people’s reading comprehension really so poor?

Because it also starts na na na na na.....!!😅🤣 it's the first tune I thought of too!!

No limit? Can’t remember the name of the group.

BauhausOfEliott · 25/09/2025 22:34

Who the fuck are the people who think Hey Jude is from the 90s and includes lines pertaining to a lyrical gangster

Cece92 · 25/09/2025 22:34

Hey Jude?

Exactly! That’s how I think of it but I don’t think it’s right. I could google of course, but this is more fun.
