it always gets me pumped up and ready to take on the world! That guitar riff is straight fire. It's like they're speaking directly to my soul, ya know? Definitely one of my all-time faves!
Initially written by David Paich as a ballad, it was infused with funk and disco influences by producer Bobby Kimball. The song played with the nursery rhyme and explored heartbreak and unrequited love. It featured the vocals of Cheryl Lynn, and paved the way for TOTO's success. #BehindtheMusic
