Jokes:

Kansas, famous for that 70's hit "Dust In The Wind", has welcomed David Hungate, formerly with Toto, into the band. His initial reaction has been "Kansas, I have a feeling I'm not in Toto anymore!"

Band Name Origins:

  • The name "Toto" has nothing to do with "The Wizard of OZ". Jeff Porcaro in an interview 1988: "The name Toto comes from the latin term TOTAS, which means like totally, everything. And that's what we're trying to do. Play music which contains all of the genres we love..." Submitted by: Peter

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:

"Africa"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
Why They're Nonsensical:
'Solitary' means without company. Maybe they meant 'singular.'
Submitted by: Nickster
"Africa"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus
above the Serengeti
Why They're Nonsensical:
Umm... Kilimanjaro is a volcanic peak (actually 3 volcanoes) that rises almost 20,000 ft from a relatively flat savanna. Olympus is some 10,000 feet shorter, and is surrounded by high, rocky terrain that make it hard to distinguish it or recognize it's true height. The comparison is fair only in that you might find both listed under 'mountains' in an atlas.
