"Shake Your Head" is a song by the band Was (Not Was). It was originally released in 1983 on the album Born to Laugh at Tornadoes. The original version features a rap by legendary Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. A pre-fame Madonna had auditioned for the vocal but was not used on the final release. In 1992 it was rerecorded and remixed by house music producer Steve "Silk" Hurley, and features actress Kim Basinger alongside a re-recorded Ozzy Osbourne on vocals. Neither is credited on the single, but It appeared on the group's album, Hello Dad... I'm in Jail. Although the song did not chart in the US, it was the band's biggest commercial success across the Atlantic, reaching #4 in the UK charts. The 1992 version . There are actually two versions of the 1992 remake: The 3:48 version starts with Ozzy Osbourne singing "You can't feed the hungry, you can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey..." The 4:00 version starts with female vocals (presumably Kim Basinger) singing "You can't argue with death. You can't break a burly sailor's neck. You can't drink lava from plastic glasses..." There is also a Steve 'Silk' Hurley remix (5:32 duration) The song's lyrics deal with things that cannot be done (some are outlandish, some can be done, but have a high amount of difficulty). After Basinger and Osbourne detail these things, the chorus comes in with the title hook. In 2003 C.C.Catch covered "Shake Your Head" and released as single, which peaked at #8 in Norway.

Lyrics
You can't argue with death
Can't break a burly sailor's neck
You can't drink lava from plastic glasses
And you can't influence the masses
Can't tune a radio to heaven
You can't live seven lives
You can't win money at the horses
And you can't fight the armed forces

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed

You can't feed the hungry
Can't talk Shakespeare to a monkey
You can't ban the bomb
And there's no way to stay calm
You can't sue Buddah for libel
You can't rewrite the Bible
You can't hit homers like Babe Ruth
And yan't put your finger on the truth

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed

ooh, uhuh

And you can't influence
And you can't influence
And you can't influence
mmm, let's go to bed

You can't sing underwater
You can't have the boss' daughter
You can't make missles out of mud
You can't purify bad blood

You can't feed hungry
You can't pretend to have fun
You can't read a robot's mind
Can't expect vultures to be kind

Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Shake your head
Let's go to bed

Let's go to bed
ooh, let's go to bed
