As Toto celebrates 40 years as a band, guitarist and founding member Steve Lukather has quite a few stories to tell. Ok, let's get this one out of the way.
This song defines what our band really is all about. It's all there, multiple singers, solos, grooves and subtle stuff. I played all the guitars and the bass on this one. Yes, Eddie Van Halen played the solo, but I did everything else. Not too many know this. I played most of the guitars on this song, though I was not credited on the album. Rick Nielsen does the rest of the album.
Don't know why they called me? When they reached the station Toto started jumping on the platform and everyone was surprised to see a bag jumping and moving about. When the ticket collector came then Toto poked his head out of the bag. The ticket collector wanted grandfather to buy a ticket for him and grandfather did not want to. Finally the ticket collector had his way. Answer: Yes, Toto was not good enough to be kept at home.
He was upto some kind of mischief all the time. He even managed to get himself into trouble by nearly boiling himself in a kettle. Once he even scared the ticket checker also. Thus, it was not easy to keep him at home. He scratched the plaster of the walls, tore the school blazer and quint's dresses. He used to break the dishes of pulav into pieces. And they could not afford the frequent loss of dishes, clothes, curtains and wallpaper.
He had tortoise, a pair of rabbits, a tame squirrel, a goat but no monkey. With the coming of Toto his mini zoo was transformed into a real zoo. He had a variety of pet animals in that zoo. He frequently bought varieties of animals to keep them in his zoo. Due to this, he even faced anger of his wife at times and when he brought Toto he was very happy with his cleverness.
It puts its legs in the water one by one and applies soap as well. As monkeys are good at aping others, so Toto has learnt proper steps of bathing while watching the narrator doing the same. He wanted to take a bath and in order to do it, he sat in the boiling water of kettle also. Answer: Grandfather loved animals. One day he saw this attractive monkey with a tonga- driver. The monkey was tied to a feeding- trough and seemed out of place there. Grandfather had great liking for animals.
So he decided to buy Toto from the tonga- driver and bought it for five rupees. Answer: Toto had bright eyes sparkling with mischief, pearly white teeth, quick and wicked fingers and a gracious tail which served as a third hand. The smile of Toto was cute and frightened elderly Anglo- Indian ladies. Altogether all these qualities made him pretty. Answer: Toto was a mischievous monkey.
It seemed that only grandfather could manage him properly. So, he took Toto to Saharanpur in a bag. The ticket collector called Toto a dog as the monkey did not qualify the category of human beings.
Answer: Toto cunningly tested the temperature with his hand then gradually stepped into the bath. He stepped first one foot, then the other, until he was into the water up to his neck. He rubbed himself all over with the soap.
He learned it all from the author. Some day Toto got in a large kitchen kettle which was on fire to boil. He enjoyed the warm water but when the water turned out to be hot he jumped up and down. Suddenly the grandmother arrived at and pulled him out in half-boiled condition.
