ha yeah it'd be nice to hear the backing tracks without the dudes yapping over it but still very cool.

lol, bobby Kimball's mustache.

dude has no voice anymore. at recent Toto shows the rest of the band has played live while he has lip synched to his pre-recorded tracks from the 80s.

The particular kind of stylized prop-ness of women in 80's videos is sometimes jarring for me now.

Anyway, going to have to go with dud -- a lot of great musical elements that somehow don't add up to anything. In an indirect way, this band supports the case for the genius of Fagen/Becker.

In other Toto-related links, Jeff Porcaro sure did a lot of studio sessions:

i do view this song as a sort of apotheosis of 80s corporate rock and agree that it's pretty much perfect

call all destroyer, Friday, 10 September 2021 03:20 (two years ago) link

it rules imo
