How to translate: That excuse won't fly.

Could you help me translate the expression "That excuse won't fly". Would "Esa exusa no va a ser creíble" be a good translation?
Thank you

"a otro perro con ese hueso!"
That excuse wont fly! Try that one on somebody else!
(you'll find this phrase in the song by Shakira and Alejandro Sanz, "La Tortura.")

Bienvenido al foro, Daydreamer!
Se entiende "esa excusa no va a ser creíble", pero también se oye "no me (nos/les,etc.) cabe esa excusa", "esa excusa no tiene sentido" y más frases por el estilo.
