About "Shake Your Head" by Was (Not Was)
From the surreal Hello Dad...I'm In Jail, 'Shake Your Head' is Was (Not Was) at their most absurdly danceable. A funky, new-wave strut collides with deadpan vocals, the title a command that feels both playful and vaguely threatening. It's a party in a padded cell, kinetic and unnerving.
