helen99I missed this entirely: MSNBC coverage of George Bush leaving Washington DC.
Here's a much longer, larger, and clearer version on Youtube -- the singing occurs around the middle of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNdVj_jeWJI&feature=related
When the helicopter took off, the entire crowd of a million or more people started cheering and chanting "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey-ey, goodbye". It is quite audible over the voices of the show hosts, who were discussing everything but the singing. I don't think any president in history has received a comparable sendoff, and I hope no future president is ever worthy of that again...
In case anyone is curious, what they sang is from a song called "Kiss them goodbye" by Steam. Steam was one of those 70s bands that got a lot of air play (at least for a song or two) but nobody ever knew who they were. The only reason I know is because I looked it up and found this:
