No were an Australian band, active during the late 1980s. They blended electronic music with nihilistic punk rock, in a similar fashion to New York's Suicide. The band included Ollie Olsen, John Murphy, Marie Hoy, Michael Sheridan, and others. They released a self-titled 12" EP (1988) and two LPs; Glory For The Shit For Brains (1987), and Once We Were Scum, Now We Are God (1989).

No (song)
"No" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira, released as the second single from her sixth studio album, Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005). The song features Gustavo Cerati in guitar and backing vocals.
Background
The lyrics chronicle a woman's effort in trying to tell her boyfriend that she no longer wants to be involved in a relationship and that separating is best for the two of them.
Chart performance
"No" was released after the worldwide success of Shakira's previous single "La Tortura" (2005). "No" entered the Canadian BDS Airplay Chart and the U.S. Hot 100, but did not receive substantial airplay. The single was certified gold in U.S. for the 100,000 downloads of the song.
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Jaume de Laiguana and was filmed in black-and-white. While the video does not closely follow the theme of the song, in many scenes Shakira is portrayed as sad, with tears rolling down her face. She appears to be located in a defunct ship yard and is surrounded by several rail tracks and cars, some of the latter which are used for her to sit on. Towards the end of the video, one of the small wooden car falls off the track and into water beneath a cliff. Throughout the video, Shakira is engaged in building butterfly wings, seemingly as a metaphor for finding the strength to fly on her own, away from the destructive relationship. At the closing moments of the video, she stands at the waters edge, ready to take flight, but does not go through with it and walks away, smiling slightly. The video reached number-one on most Latin American countdowns and in Spain. The video is featured on Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2 Bonus DVD.
