Ozzy Osborne and Madonna

The Prince of Darkness had at one obscure point dueted with Madonna, a remix of the “Was-(Not-Was) song “Shake Your Head.” Said prince, of course, was the late Ozzy Osborne. The song was featured on the 1983 Was (Not Was) album, Born to Laugh at Tornadoes.

Louis Osborne, eldest son of Ozzy from his first wife, explained.

“Was (Not Was) did a duet with Madonna,” explained Louis. “It was written for Madonna and Was (Not Was), and it was when dad was pumping in the early ’80s and so was she and she really fucking popped and then didn’t give approval on the record.”

He added, “So that was canned. And then when Kim Basinger was having that big acting moment in the middle of her career in the ’80s, they decided they were going to try and make her a pop star, as well. So they tracked Kim Basinger on it instead.”

Goo Goo Dolls

The Tiny Desk concert series hosted its first ever offering from international act The Goo Goo Dolls. The came by with four songs going back over their careers. They opened with the Dizzy Up the Girl track “Slide,” and followed that with “Feel the Silence” off of Let Love In. “Not Goodbye (Close Your Eyes),” and “Iris.” followed up.
