"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
