Overall: @Di (they-them): I love the sound file. I did not find ALT0 interesting. I prefer ALT1 but we probably need to clarify ALT1 by saying Thriller is the most popular in the US. It is a big world! ALT1a: ... that "Thriller" is the most popular Halloween song in the United States? The intro could be expanded. Good job getting this ready for Halloween.
