Was (Not Was) is an American band formed in 1979 in Detroit by childhood friends David Weiss (David Was) and Don Fagenson (Don Was). Known for their eclectic fusion of funk, rock, jazz, and dance music, they gained prominence in the late 1980s with hits like "Walk the Dinosaur" and "Spy in the House of Love." Their satirical lyrics and diverse musical collaborations, including artists like Ozzy Osbourne and Mel Tormé, set them apart in the music scene. After a hiatus in the mid-1990s, they reunited in 2004 and released the album "Boo!" in 2008. Don Was has also achieved acclaim as a producer, working with artists such as Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Was_%28Not_Was%29?utm_source=openai))
