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
