Why he might be annoying:

    They are a one hit wonder ('Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye').
    Producer Paul Leka and song writer Gary DeCarlo came up with the idea of putting the song on the B-side of a single as a 'throwaway' song.
    Leka decided to insert the nonsensical 'na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey' where a piano riff was originally placed in the song.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Though they were appalled at their hit song's release as a single, which they considered nothing more than a 'goofy flip side,' Leka and DeCarlo wisely maintained song writing credits.
    The song sold over one million copies in the U.S. alone and became a smash #1 Billboard hit (December 1969).
    BMI (Broadcast Music Incorporated) recognizes the song as having the distinction of at least three million airings on radio.
    Started being played at sporting events in 1977 by Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust when an opposing team's starting pitcher was taken out of the game.
    Leka has gone on to produce such artists as Harry Chapin, REO Speedwagon and Gloria Gaynor.
