Glen Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Good or bad, that is the question? I was listening to the song 'Fuckin Worthless' which is actually a pretty cool ballad by a bad called Negative, but is ruined by bloody 2 pointless minutes of nah nah at the end. IMO it is just lazy song writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesEagle Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Good question. It can be good in some songs, although I can't think of any examples and look forward to others on here coming up with some. Sometimes it is really annoying though, e.g. Biloxi's 'Somewhere In The Night", an otherwise really good song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's not a good or bad thing without reason for me. For instance, the best "nah nah" song of all time is undoubtedly 'Straight to my heart' by Mitch Perry and that song is amazing. But I could see how it may have ruined other songs. Or is this the best of all time (are 'Sha la la's the same as 'nah nah's?): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbDiG8pEnqE Either way, at the end of the day if the song is good it's good. If it's bad it's bad. I think there'd be few occasions where the 'nah nah's would be the deciding factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindjester Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'. Need I say more. BTW has anyone ever tried to count the nah nah's in that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristian Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I always hated the 'Nah nah nah's' in Bon Jovi's "Born to be My Baby". I guess sometimes it fits in, but sometimes I would prefer a cool riff repeated over and over instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess sometimes it fits in, but sometimes I would prefer a cool riff repeated over and over instead. That's funny because I love the 'nah nah nah's' in that song! But then again, I don't mind 'em in any particular song and 'Hey Jude' for example wouldn't be half as good as it is without that great outro imo...

martinsane Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 The first song that jumped into my head is Paul Westerbergs-Dislexic Heart. Second was that Puddle Of Mudd tune She flippin' Hates Me, but as it plays in my head it sounds more like "tra la la's" than "Na na na's"...

Fat Freddy Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I always thought "On To You" by Hurricane was a pretty catchy tune... That was the first song that came to my mind when i saw the thread title. However, in my case, those "nah nah nah's" in that track always annoyed the f*ckin' piss outta me.

edwithmj Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thunder's "Dirty Love" has a fair few of these in and I think it works quite well. Two minutes' worth is pretty lazy songwriting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
