This is a link post Edit of an MJ cover of Carole King's You Got a Friend..... I made this!
... so it had a piano arrangement and fewer backing vocals.
The original MJ version has many layers.
Tenuously adding I made this as I mixed it. Trigger warning : contains Jacko!

This is a link post Are chart toppers also YouTube hits? The quiz idea from b3ta 932 I made this!
let's just refresh our memory ...

* SAY I'M YOUR NO 1 - a quiz that uses all the
UK no 1s and looks up how many views they've had
on youtube and you have to guess which one has
better or crapper numbers. We say this as there
are forgotten hits there that have left little
cultural trace: no one gives a shit about Sister
Sledge's Frankie for some reason, but a huge hit
in its time.
wait, did rob say all the no 1s? this quiz only has the 300+ singles that reached no 1 for 4 weeks or more (including Sister Sledge's Frankie)

This is a normal post maths alert
cheers! behind the scenes, the randomness is the Mersenne Twister (a 1997 hit by that Japanese duo, Matsumoto and Nishimura) shuffling all items in the hit-list, and then selecting 20 off the top. MT provides a nice pseudo-random distribution and also has a website in the best old-Web tradition.

for some, everything sounds like it belongs on that advert where the happy couple go round laughing at things like an old car while the voiceover burbles on about 'do you remember this classic hit' before playing something from the fifties or early sixties.

All that changes is the decades the music is from as time waits for no man and the grave is hurrying near.

I have been dipping into into the Dust channel for a few years. There were some notable good films ("FTL" is worth a watch), but a lot of it was where most of the effort seemed to be into the visual effects instead of the narrative and acting, and I lost interest.
This time-travel movie shows that some film-makers actually sat at the front in film school.
