About the song

"Inside" was Milsap's 21st No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, it was the first chart-topper as a songwriter for Country musician Reid. Throughout the 1980s, Milsap recorded several Reid-penned songs which would become No. 1 hits.[1][2]

Although it never charted on the Billboard Hot 100, the song did enjoy minor success on adult contemporary radio stations, peaking at No. 27 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Singles chart.

"Carolina Dreams"

The B-side to the "Inside" single was "Carolina Dreams." Written by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan (the songwriting duo who had written several past hits for Milsap, and many of Barbara Mandrell's hits), the song never charted on the Hot Country Singles chart as its own single, but remained a B-side "tag-along" throughout the chart run for "Inside."

"Inside"/"Carolina Dreams" was one of several Milsap singles that charted with both A- and B-sides listed.

gollark: Anyway, I shall summarize. You download https://github.com/osmarks/skynet/blob/master/client.lua as skynet or something, do `local skynet = require "skynet"` or `dofile` instead of `require`, then use the skynet functions.
gollark: That is not more specific.
gollark: Can you be more specific?
gollark: This would be something like fifty lines of code total, I think, but so insecure that anyone with a computer, modem and some CC knowledge could easily spoof it.
gollark: Which is actually capped at 8 blocks by the default configuration, hopefully they changed that...
