Well, We Know What They'll Play At His Funeral
-
Dead: Paul Leka. Songwriter. Wrote hots like "Green Tambourine" and produced four hit Harry Chapin albums. But that's not why he's here in this column today. No, it's because he and a friend, needing to come up with B-side for a single, banged out that stadium anthem "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye." He wrote the chorus, which everyone knows, and which, hilariously, was added specifically to make the song too long to be played on the radio. Didn't work. (New York Times)
