About This Item

Was (not Was) was 1979 by David Weiss and Don Fagenson (who's stage names are David Was and Don Was).  There first album was released in 1981, is an amalgam of rock, disco and David's beat poetry.  Their second album was released 1983 but their biggest hit was released on their 1998 album What Up, Dog?. 

Walk the Dinosaur featured a funk sound, punctuated by horns and a cowbell, all backed by what sounded like cavepeople chanting.  It reached 10 on the US sing chat and became the first UK top 10 for the band.  Its infectious sing-along and cartoon style video hid the darker message of a post nuclear armageddon.
