"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. In 1992 it was re-mixed by house music producer Steve "Silk" Hurley and this is the best-known version. It appeared on the group's album, Hello Dad... I'm In Jail.
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.
The 1992 remix features actress Kim Basinger alongside a re-recorded Ozzy Osbourne on vocals. The song's lyrics deal with things that cannot be done (some are outlandish, some can be done, but have a high amount of impossibility). After Basinger and Osbourne detail these things, the chorus comes in with the title hook. (WikiPedia)
