'''"Who Made Who"''' is a [[hard rock]]/[[heavy metal]] and [[glam metal]] song by the [[Australia]]n [[Hard Rock]] band [[AC/DC]]. This song, [[D.T.]], and [[Chase the Ace (song)|Chase the Ace]] are the only new songs on ''[[Who Made Who]]'', because the album is not only a soundtrack to [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Maximum Overdrive]]'', but a compilation [[Compact Disc|CD]].

In the video to this song, directed by [[David Mallet (director)|David Mallet]]<ref>[http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=610 mvdbase.com - AC/DC - "Who made who?"]</ref>, fans and radio contest winners were dressed like [[Angus Young]], and carried red cardboard guitars similar to Angus's. The video's plot features scientists replicating Angus by means of [[science fiction]] technology; the lookalikes are shown ''en masse'', marching in place in time to the song and raising their heads to chant the title phrase along with the chorus. A photo of Angus standing amid a group of his counterparts can be found inside the 2003 [[Digipak]] release of ''Who Made Who''.

The song is unusual for an [[AC/DC]] song, as it begins with a [[bass guitar]] riff, which was a popular choice in the [[Bon Scott]] era, especially on the ''[[High Voltage (Australian album)|High Voltage]]'' and ''[[T.N.T. (album)|T.N.T.]]'' albums, but had become less common after [[Brian Johnson]] became lead singer.

"'''Another One Bites the Dust'''" is a [[1980]] [[funk-rock]] song from the [[England|English]] [[Rock and roll|rock]] [[musical band|band]] [[Queen (band)|Queen]], written by [[bassist]] [[John Deacon]] and was a worldwide [[crossover (music)|crossover]] hit (hitting number one on the U.S. [[Billboard Hot 100]], hitting #2 on the [[R&B]] charts and the Disco Top 100, and #7 in the [[UK Singles Chart]]). The song is Queen's best selling single and their biggest hit to date, with sales of over 7 million copies. The track is on the album ''[[The Game (album)|The Game]]'' (1980). In 1998, it was remixed and re-released by [[Wyclef Jean]], Pras Michel and featured Free's rap vocals.

==History==
The bass line was inspired by the song "[[Good Times (Chic song)|Good Times]]" by the [[Disco]] group [[Chic (band)|Chic]]. In an interview with [[New Musical Express]], [[Chic (band)|Chic]] co-founder [[Bernard Edwards]] stated, "...that Queen record came about because that Queen bass player... spent some time hanging out with us at our studio".<ref>[http://www.superseventies.com/sw_goodtimes.html "Good Times"]</ref>

The opening line "Steve walks warily down the street" is thought to be a reference to Steve McQueen.
Recording sessions were produced by [[Reinhold Mack]] at Musicland Studios in [[Munich]] ([[West Germany]]) and consisted of Deacon playing almost all the instruments: [[Bass guitar|bass]], [[Piano|piano]], rhythm and lead [[Guitar|guitars]] and handclap percussion. [[Roger Meddows-Taylor|Roger Taylor]] added a drum loop under protest{{Fact|date=February 2007}} and [[Brian May]] did some noises with his guitar and an [[Eventide Harmoniser]]. There are no synthesizers used in the song: all effects are created with pianos, guitars, and drums, with subsequent tape playback performed in reverse at various speeds. Finally, some sound effects were run through the Harmoniser for further processing. The effect of the Harmoniser can be heard clearly in the "swirling" nature of the sound immediately before the first lyric. Taylor did not like the song, but [[Freddie Mercury]] strongly believed in it and added some ideas{{Fact|date=February 2007}}. During the mix the road crew suggested it as a single but the band didn't like the idea until [[Michael Jackson]] recommended it after a concert (this was confirmed by Roger Taylor and Brian May on the [[United States|U.S.]] radio show ''In the Studio with Redbeard'' that spotlighted the album ''The Game'' on one episode).

The song garnered Queen its only [[Grammy Award|Grammy]] nomination, for [[Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal|Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal]]. The band lost to [[Bob Seger]]'s album ''[[Against the Wind (album)|Against the Wind]]''.

The music video was filmed at [[Reunion Arena]] in [[Dallas, Texas]].

==Alleged backmasking==
A common [[urban legend]] surrounding the chorus is that, when [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/queen.php played in reverse], it contains the messages "it's fun to smoke [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]]" and "start to smoke marijuana".

"'''The Final Countdown'''" is a 1986 hit [[Single (music)|single]] released by the [[Sweden|Swedish]] [[hard rock]] band [[Europe (band)|Europe]]. It was the first single released internationally from the album ''[[The Final Countdown (album)|The Final Countdown]]'', and was number 1 in 26 countries, selling more than 8 million copies worldwide.

== History ==
The song is based on an old [[Keyboard instrument|keyboard]] riff that [[vocalist]] [[Joey Tempest]] composed as early as around [[1981]]–[[1982|82]], on a [[Korg]] [[Korg Polysix|Polysix]] keyboard that he borrowed from [[keyboardist]] [[Mic Michaeli]]. The synth riff used in the recording was performed on a [[Roland JX-8P]]. The lyrics were inspired by [[David Bowie|David Bowie's]] song "[[Space Oddity]]". Originally the band had never planned to release the song as a single, and some band members wanted "[[Rock the Night (song)|Rock the Night]]" to be the first single off the album. "The Final Countdown" was written to be an opening song for concerts; they never thought about it being a hit but when their record company [[Epic Records]] suggested that it should be the first single, the band decided to release it.

The song has been a regular in Europe concerts ever since its live debut on the premiere of their ''Final Countdown Tour'' in April 1986. One of the most memorable performances of the song took place in [[Stockholm]], Sweden on [[December 31]], [[1999]], as part of the Millennium celebrations.

In 1999 the dance remix "The Final Countdown 2000" was released. It was produced by Brian Rawling, who had previously had success with "[[Believe (Cher song)|Believe]]" by [[Cher]]. The single release caused minor controversy as the first pressing had a misprint that left out the first "o" in "Countdown". The story was confirmed by Tempest during an interview with the American rock radio show ''[[The Tour Bus Radio Network|The Tour Bus]]''. <ref name="the-tour-bus">{{cite web |url=http://www.thetourbus.com/files/audio_details.php?id=35 |title=Audio Interview |accessdate=2008-04-15 |format= |work=The Tour Bus }}</ref>

The song enjoys notable popularity in many sports arenas and stadiums; public address booths have often played the opening synth riff to rally the home crowd; it has also become a staple of high school and college pep bands for this same purpose.

==Chart performance==
It was a huge success in the UK, going to the top of the singles charts in late [[November]] [[1986]] and remaining there for 2 weeks.

Contrary to popular belief, the melodic death metal band [[Children of Bodom]] has never done a cover version of the song - the wrongly credited versions are usually those by [[Norther]] and [[Dispatched]]. [http://www.cobhc.com/index.php?id=faq]

*In the videogame [[Mega Man X6]] , one of the stage's theme song "Infinity Mijinion" seems to be a tribute to The Final Countdown.

* It is also used in the videogame [[Buzz! The Mega Quiz]]; in the final round 'The Final Countdown' the song can be heard playing.

*[[George Oscar "G.O.B." Bluth II|G.O.B. Bluth]], a character from the sitcom ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', uses this song at the beginning of his magic acts in multiple episodes. It accompanies him as he dances dramatically onto the stage with magic props. At times when the character's cell phone rings, it is apparent that he uses a [[midi]] version of the same song as his [[ringtone]].

*The song is the current theme song of professional wrestler [[Bryan Danielson]] and the former theme of female wrestler [[Sara Del Rey]]

*In 2005, comedian [[Mike Ward (comedian)|Mike Ward]] recorded a version as a goof for "Le Mike Ward Show".

'''"Who Made Who"''' is a song by the [[Australia]]n [[Hard Rock]] band [[AC/DC]]. This song, [[D.T.]], and [[Chase the Ace (song)|Chase the Ace]] are the only new songs on ''[[Who Made Who]]'', because the album is not only a soundtrack to [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Maximum Overdrive]]'', but a compilation [[Compact Disc|CD]].

In the video to this song, directed by [[David Mallet (director)|David Mallet]]<ref>[http://www.mvdbase.com/video.php?id=610 mvdbase.com - AC/DC - "Who made who?"]</ref>, fans and radio contest winners were dressed like [[Angus Young]], and carried red cardboard guitars similar to Angus's. The video's plot features scientists replicating Angus by means of [[science fiction]] technology; the lookalikes are shown ''en masse'', marching in place in time to the song and raising their heads to chant the title phrase along with the chorus. A photo of Angus standing amid a group of his counterparts can be found inside the 2003 [[Digipak]] release of ''Who Made Who''.

The song is unusual for an [[AC/DC]] song, as it begins with a [[bass guitar]] riff, which was a popular choice in the [[Bon Scott]] era, especially on the ''[[High Voltage (Australian album)|High Voltage]]'' and ''[[T.N.T. (album)|T.N.T.]]'' albums, but had become less common after [[Brian Johnson]] became lead singer.

"'''Runaway'''" is a [[Bon Jovi]] song. The song is heavily influenced by the [[rockband]] [[Journey]]. It was originally written and recorded in 1983, by Jon Bon Jovi (then still under his given name of John Bongiovi), before the formation of the band Bon Jovi. The track was recorded by Jon Bon Jovi and a group of studio musicians known as "The All Star Review," which included [[Hugh McDonald]] (bass) (who now plays bass for the band Bon Jovi, although he is an unofficial member)and [[Dave Sabo|Dave "The Snake" Sabo]], who was a childhood friend of Jon and played guitar on the track. Sabo would later be replaced by guitarist [[Richie Sambora]], but he went on to form the popular band [[Skid Row (heavy metal band)|Skid Row]], which played as an opening act at many Bon Jovi shows.

In [[1983]], local radio station [[WAPP (radio station)|WAPP]] 103.5FM "The Apple" had a contest, held in conjunction with [[St. John's University (New York City)|St. John's University]], to search for the best unsigned band. After the song won the contest, it became an instant hit in the summer of 1983.

Runaway was later re-recorded{{fact|date=July 2007}} and released as the first single from [[Bon Jovi (album)|Bon Jovi's self titled debut album]]. It hit the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 at #39 in early-[[1984 in music|1984]] and became the band's first Top 40 hit in US. It should also be noted that it is the only song from the bands' first two albums that is still performed live.
