An obscure track that initially wasn't meant for public consumption features the iconic voices of Ozzy Osbourne and Madonna. The song is a remix of the tune "Shake Your Head" by Was (Not Was) that was initially released with actress Kim Basinger's vocals instead of Madonna's contribution. It's a somewhat complicated story, recently brought to light by Ozzy Osbourne's eldest son, Louis Osbourne, whose mother is the metal legend's first wife, Thelma Riley.

"I went to audition for Evita for [director] Alan Parker," she said. "I had been practicing for weeks, and I sang my heart out and did my thing. And he goes, 'You're amazing. You know Madonna has the part, right?'"

It was [A&R rep] Guy [Oseary] who discovered us first, and then he and [Maverick co-founder] Freddy DeMann flew us from our base in Sacramento to Los Angeles, where we played a couple of songs for them in a little rehearsal space.
