Time to learn something!
1. Go to Wikipedia.
2. Click on "Random article" in the left-hand sidebar box.
3. Post it!
Here's mine:
"Dressing Up" is a song from The Cure's 1984 album, The Top. According to a Rolling Stone interview, Robert Smith stated it was originally meant for Blue Sunshine, Smith's album with The Glove, but he kept it for The Top because he thought, "I like this one too much."[1]
The song was featured in The Cure's 1992 live album, Paris. It was last performed in 1996, according to bootleg recordings.
I've heard of the Cure but not that particular song—as far as I know, anyhow.
I'm pretty familiar with the Cure's better-known songs, but I don't think this is one of them.
I just wanted to tell you that you've gotten me hooked on this. My article today was a list of world leaders in the year 1562.

Shah Hussain (1538-1599) was a Punjabi poet and Sufi saint. He was born in Lahore (present-day Pakistan). His tomb and shrine lies in Baghbanpura, adjacent to the Shalimar Gardens.
His urs (annual death anniversary) is celebrated at his shrine every year. It is known as "Mela Chiraghan" ("Festival of Lights") and is the second largest festival in Lahore after Basant. It used to be the biggest festival of the Punjab.
Shah Hussain's love for a Brahmin boy called "Madho" or "Madho Lal" is famous, and they are often referred to as a single person with the composite name of "Madho Laal Hussain". Madho's tomb lies next to Hussain's in the shrine.
Shah Hussain was the pioneer of the kafi form of Punjabi poetry.
