  • I don’t smurf it. I love the original though. And I mean really love, without irony. It’s one of the best pop songs ever made, despite (or maybe because of) the cockeyed lyrics.

    Yeah, the lyrics are stupid. But who cares. It's catchy as hell, super memorable, really well-made (the production has not dated at all on it) and Lukather has to keep it in his pants for a song.

    (I jest, I love Luke, but an 80s track without a screaming guitar solo is a little bit of a rarity...)

    Anyway, yeah, Weezer's take is pretty much right down the middle but they've probably made more money off this alone than they have in the last 10 years... and it's raising Toto's profile...

    Check out this sweet walk-on-walk-off keyboard solo from Steve Porcaro...


    is he reading the lyrics off a laptop on a drum stool?
