Farin Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 maybe a studio musician? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Here's what I found: Frank Aiello was in a hit duo in the 60's, called Truth (anybody remember that far back?!) and performed leading roles in numerous musicals in the West End of London - including Hair. He was a busy session singer through the late sixties and into the seventies which is where Bedlam found him. (Bedlam seems to be yet another band... Cozy Powell was another member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim in Pa Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Na Na Na Lyrics Na na na na When I was a kid my old man said to me When you grow up son what cha gonna be? You gonna go to school and get a degree? Or you gonna go to work in a factory? I said Na na na na I know what I want and I know what I can And I wanna get a job in a rock'n roll band. Well the man at the desk said I know how you feel. But how d'ya like a job fixing automobiles Your card says you got no musical training I said hey look man you just don't get my meaning. I don't wanna be no guitar star And the man on the piano works too damn hard. And the bass man he don't cop for no glamour I wanna be the man with the fifty pound hammer going. Na na na na I know you get your kicks Playing Hendrix licks You're a wizard of Wembley Central You're the J. S. Bach of Belsize park And me I'm just plain mental. But when I play my boogie when I play my blues It's like a whole tank regiment on the move You can play the notes and you can tell the story Me I'll just settle for the power and the qlory.

Jim in Pa Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 By the third single, there was a band, Cozy Powell's Hammer, and Na Na Na had vocals, and a vocalist, old mate Frank Aiello. John Cameron (the mastermind of CCS) wrote the song. It charted as well, but Cozy was tiring of being a pop star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
