Damn right. I also wanna teach mine Zen Headbutt, but both those moves come from breeding with different pokemon, so it's physically impossible for Crobat to have both of those moves. Unless you won platinum, where Zen Headbutt can be taught to it via move tutor.
You don't just randomnly teach him Zen Headbutt! The usage of Zen Heabutt has no advantage to a Crobat! A psychic type move such as Zen Headbutt does not receive a same type multiplier for Crobat, and the use of Zen Headbutt would not counter a type of which crobat has a weakness! This is why it is much more recommended to teach shadow ball or night slash, because they counteract the most commonly used type against poison types, psychic.
EDIT: Checked serebii. It isn't possible in any way for Crobat to learn Night Slash. He can learn Air slash, but its a special attack and you probably don't want it. If you hav platinum, you can teach it LM Heat Wave because it will cover his ice weakness, but don't waste your move space with something like that.

Sometimes you don't always have to cover the types that the pokemon is weak to, especially when it comes to a sweeper like Crobat. Not to mention, it's a generally interesting and completely out of left field move that people wouldn't expect to come from a Crobat. Crobat can't learn that many great physical moves, so having a medium power move that can make pokemon flinch is always good.
I respect your idea for teaching Crobat Zen Headbutt now, cheifly because one that knew that move just whipped my ass in the battle tower. Now, let me change my tune.
I do support the teaching of random moves, as long as they beat a few types and have power. For instance, teaching Earthquake in every empty move space on all your pokemon is a great idea, except when Earthquake's power is unhelpful due to the fact I see people teaching it to their slowbros, or anything else that's physical attack stat is the general equivalent to that of picking up an umbrella and throwing it. Sure, teaching it to water types is advantageous due to it countering electric pokemon, but really, that's why I breed all my desired water types with a Corsola to obtain Mirror Coat because I pretty much use Water Types that have it on their egg list.
I try not to teach earthquake to everything, but it's just too good of a move. My Gyarados knows it, though. Then again, what my Gyarados does in battle is considered a war crime in several countries.
I suppose that's what Earthquake is for. But yeah, anything with a quad weakness to a common attack type has no place in my roster, and Gyarados' weak-ass special defense just makes it worse.
If you catch a Dratini, evolve it into a Dragonair and have him reach lvl. 99, but don't let it evolve until you beat your rival in Red/Blue at the end of the game, it evolves into Yoshi.

Then you have yet to see the power that is Gyarados! Themz are fightin' words! I challenge you, Mario!
I respect gyrados enough to use him, occasionally, but Earthquake is a must for him in situations like Battle frontier (Sadly, Emerald is the only game I've used Gyrados extensively in). The cheif reson I'll pick Charmander in gen1 is to avoid my rival from getting one. That is the ultimate respect.
Oh yeah, and, um, if Gyrados was faster, I'd use him more. He's just too slow to compete with those speedy electrics. I opt for Milotic, since I seem to be a magnet for the attraction of Feebas.
PS: If my Wifi was up, I'd give you all Feebas with Mirror Coat learned, regardless of whether or not you'd want the move.
Haha, by the way, I was gone because of a lot of RuneScape, as I said before. Here's an awesome picture. It's where i basically dropped all of my items into a machine that randomly throws all my shit around the floor so anyone can pick it up. It was like throwing a cheese wheel into a pit of rats! It was AWESOME. Everybody was going nuts, after all- it was 16 million coins.

I was told this as a kid and kinda believed it.
