About The Song
Who Made Who is a soundtrack album by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. Released on 26 May 1986, the album is the soundtrack to the Stephen King film Maximum Overdrive. The album was re-released in 2003 as part of the AC/DC Remasters series.
Three tracks on the album – “Who Made Who” and the instrumentals “D.T.” and “Chase the Ace” – were newly written and recorded by AC/DC for the album. The remaining tracks were previously released by the band. Only one song, “Ride On”, features previous lead vocalist Bon Scott, who died in 1980. All others feature his replacement, Brian Johnson.
Along with the album, the band released a 24-minute videotape, which contained music videos for the songs “Who Made Who”, “You Shook Me All Night Long”, “Shake Your Foundations” (remixed), “Hells Bells”, and footage from a live performance of “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”, which was filmed in Detroit in 1983.
The video for the title track, directed by David Mallet, was recorded at the Brixton Academy in London and features a theme of countless clones of AC/DC guitarist Angus Young. According to the book AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll, these clones consisted of hundreds of fans who came from all over the UK, many of whom slept in the freezing cold in front of Brixton Academy for the opportunity to take part. This group was made up of approximately 300 members of the band’s British fan club as well as others who had simply heard about the event on the radio.

Lyrics
The video game says “play me”
Face it on a level but it takes you every time on a one on one
Feeling running down your spine
Nothing gonna save your one last dime ’cause it own you
Through and through
The databank know my number
Says I gotta pay ’cause I made the grade last year
Feel it when I turn the screw
Kicks you round the world, there ain’t a thing that it can’t do
Do to you
Who made who, who made you?
Who made who, ain’t nobody told you?
Who made who, who made you?
If you made them and they made you
Who picked up the bill, and who made who?
Yeah
Who made who
Who turned the screw?
Yeah, satellites send me picture
Get it in the eye, take it to the wire
Spinning like a dynamo
Feel it going round and round
Running out of chips, you got no line in an 8-bit town
So don’t look down, no
Who made who, who made you?
Who made who, ain’t nobody told you?
Who made who, who made you?
If you made them and they made you
Who picked up the bill, and who made who?
Ain’t nobody told you
Oh, who made who?
Who made you?
Who made who (who made who)
And who made who (who made who)
Yeah
Nobody told you
