Was (Not Was) is an American pop rock group founded in 1979 in Detroit, Michigan, by David Weiss and Don Fagenson, who adopted the stage names David Was and Don Was. Their song catalog features an eclectic mix of pop and rock styles, often featuring guest musicians from across the musical spectrum. The band's most popular period was during the 1980s and early 1990s, with their highest-charting hit, the song "Walk the Dinosaur", released in 1987 as the lead single from their 1988 album What Up, Dog?, becoming a worldwide top-40 hit and peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The band went on indefinite hiatus in the mid-1990s, but has returned sporadically since the turn of the millennium. Their most recent release was the 2008 album Boo!.

(en) Gli Was (Not Was) sono un gruppo musicale statunitense. Le loro canzoni fondono ecletticamente pop, rock e disco music e presentano liriche surreali. (it) ウォズ (ノット・ウォズ)（Was (Not Was)）は、デヴィッド・ウォズとドン・ウォズ（2人合わせてウォズ兄弟とも呼ばれる）という芸名を名乗るデヴィッド・ワイスとドン・フェイゲンソンが率いるアメリカ合衆国のポップ・ロック・グループである。1979年にミシガン州デトロイトで結成された彼らの楽曲のカタログは、ポップ・スタイルとロック・スタイルの折衷的なミックスが特徴であり、多くの場合、さまざまな音楽分野のゲスト・ミュージシャンをフィーチャーしている。バンドの最も人気のあった時期は1980年代から1990年代初頭にかけてで、チャートで最もヒットした曲「ウォーク・ザ・ダイナソー」は、1988年のアルバム『ホワット・アップ・ドッグ?』のリード・シングルとして1987年にリリースされ、トップ40ヒットとして世界的に広まり、Billboard Hot 100シングル・チャートでは最高7位に達した。バンドは1990年代半ばに無期限の休止期間を過ごしたが、ミレニアムの変わり目から散発的にカムバックを果たした。最新リリースは2008年のアルバム『Boo!』である。 (ja) Was (Not Was) — американская музыкальная группа. По словам музыкального сайта AllMusic, «братья Was со [своей] причудливой смесью фанка, панка и сюрреализма разбили жанровые границы и, к удивлению, у них были хиты». Музыку группы сайт характеризует как «современный танцевальный R&B с текстами в диапазоне от сатирических до странных». Самые большие хиты группы — «Walk the Dinosaur» (7 место в США в 1989 г.) и «Spy in the House of Love» (16 место в 1988 г.), оба из альбома 1988 года What Up, Dog?. (ru)
