In 1977, Chicago White Sox organist Nancy Faust began playing the song. It is generally directed at the losing side in an elimination contest when the outcome is all but certain or when an individual player is ejected or disqualified. It has also been sung by crowds in political rallies, to taunt political opponents or to drown out and mock disruptive counter-protesters. In 2005, after the White Sox won the World Series, during the credits on Fox Sports, "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" was the first song to be played.
