Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 American science fiction comedy horror film written and directed by Stephen King. The film stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington, and Yeardley Smith. The screenplay was inspired by and loosely based on King's short story "Trucks", which was included in the author's first collection of short stories, Night Shift, and follows the events after all machines (including trucks, radios, drones, arcades, vending machines, etc.) become sentient when Earth crosses the tail of a comet, initiating a world-wide killing spree.

The film is King's only directorial effort, though dozens of films have been based on his novels or short stories. It contained black humor elements and a generally campy tone, which contrasts with King's somber subject matter in books. The film has a mid-1980s hard rock soundtrack composed entirely by the group AC/DC (King's favorite band), whose album Who Made Who was released as the Maximum Overdrive soundtrack. It includes the best-selling singles "Who Made Who", "You Shook Me All Night Long", and "Hells Bells".

Maximum Overdrive was theatrically released on July 25, 1986, to generally negative reviews from critics. It was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards including Worst Director for King and Worst Actor for Estevez in 1987, but both lost to Prince for Under the Cherry Moon. In 1988, Maximum Overdrive was nominated for "Best Film" at the International Fantasy Film Awards. King disowned the film, describing it as a "moron movie", and considered the process a learning experience, after which he intended never to direct again.

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.

"Who Made Who" is a song and a single, taken from their 1986 album, Who Made Who.
The song was written for the Stephen King movie Maximum Overdrive, whose theme was machines that came alive and began killing people. The lyrics explore the idea of the gadgets and devices created by mankind coming to rule over human beings instead of the other way around, the irony where humans become subservient to the technology they created.

It was one of only three new tracks on Who Made Who, because the album is not only a soundtrack to Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive, but a compilation album featuring tracks from previous albums. The other two new tracks were instrumentals. "Who Made Who" peaked at #23 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart on 19 July 1986, and stayed on the chart for 12 weeks.
This is a version of a copy of a copy pealed from the internet and repackaged as something familiar but perhaps missed.

The video games say play me
Face it on a level but it take 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
Kick you 'round the world, there ain't a thing that it can't do
Do to you, yeah

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

Yeah, satellites send me picture
Get it in the aisle, take it to the world
Spinning like a dynamo
Feel it goin' '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 you (Who made who?)
Yeah

Nobody told you
