    That this song wasn't a bigger hit is a crime. Steve Lukather's vocals are stellar & the instrumentation is sublime. The song was written as a tribute to George Lucas's THX1138. It's probably my favorite Toto song.

    Jeff Porcaro had a birthday April 1, he would have been 69, the groove master, double drumming with the late Jim Gordon somewhere. Jeff was my schoolmate in LA, along with his brothers, and their success was so much fun to watch!
    Toto was essentially a HS band, Jeff, Steve, Mike Porcaro, Lukather and Paitch, our mate Dana even engineered their first 2 albums.
    Huge in Europe and Japan. I've read that they have played on recordings, together or as musicians, that have sold over 750 million albums, now that's making a mark on the music industry, consummate professionals.

    Paich wrote it as a tribute to George Lucas. Lucas's first movie was called THX-1138 and was set in the future. Every person was known by a number instead of a usual name. humans were roundd up and taken to be prisoners. Two of them risked their lives trying to get out.

      It was written as a tribute to George Lucas’s first film THX 1138 which is about a totalitarian society in the future where people are given numbers and the song is about falling in love with a girl named “99.”

    Harri - I copied this from Google:
    "David Paich actually wrote the song as a tribute to George Lucas' first film, THX-1138. This film takes place many centuries in the future where people live in a totalitarian state and are referred to by a number. Thus it's a fantasy love song to an imagined someone in that world with the number 99."

    '99' was predominantly a performance video, though the set design was rather conceptual. Following David Paich's intention regarding the lyrics, about a sterile society in which names are forgotten and love forbidden, the set was sterile white, with various sized sculptured 99's hanging and standing about, and the band was clad in futuristic white jumpsuits. There were some notable shots in this one - keyboard close-ups and an artistic view of Jeff through a transparent drum head, a technique that several popular videos have copied since

    I love Toto! I see them in concert every year I can. They have been busting out hits for over 40 years and still touring. Steve Lukather aka Luke, who plays bass guitar with Toto and on this song, tours every fall with Ringo Starr and his band. "99" was a female alien who they loved. The song was written as a tribute to George Lucas's film THX 1138, and the music video resembles a scene in the movie.
